Ringer Settings
The Ringer Settings enable you to provide a distinctive ringing feature via the custom
Alert-Info header associated with an incoming call. This setting overrides the ringer tone you
have set for the account. For example, you can set a unique ringer tone to alert the VCS752
user upon receiving any incoming calls tagged as "important" in the Alert-Info header.
The SIP Invite message contains an Alert-Info header that the phone checks in order to
determine which ringer tone to play. The Alert-Info header format is as follows:
Alert-Info: info=info_text
If the header contains the "info" parameter, the phone attempts to match it to the Distinctive
Ringing Text. If there is a match, the associated tone will play. If there is no match, the
default tone for the account will play.
The matching is done on a "first match" basis. In the case of duplicate text strings, the ringer
tone associated with the first matched entry in the Distinctive Ringing Text list will play.
The server-side configuration must be done with your service provider. The SIP Invite text
("Distinctive Ringing Text" on the Ringer WebUI page) must be entered in the format
ringerx
,
where x is the ringer number from 1 to 10. For example, to match Ringer 1 enter
ringer1
.
The ringer settings are also available as parameters in the configuration file. See
“"ringersetting" Module: Distinctive Ringer Settings” on page 132
