Distinctive Ring

its different from phone to phone so there cannot be documentation on it. You will have to consult your phone documentation. For polycom phones its done by setting the ALERT INFO value to Internal. Different phones use different ALERT INFO settings.

I agree and came to the same conclusion. The phones I am working with are LInksys SPA941 which have CLASSIC-4 as an option. What I can't find is where to set this in the PBX. If you have a suggestion on what file needs to be modified please post it.

My example:

There is one DID on this system that when it rings it should ring different than the normal DID.

Thank you,

well thats different, I put in the code so that you can send an Alert Info message on internal to internal calls. I do this in macro-userexten, by doing an

ExecIf($[$[${LEN(${CALLERID(num)})} < 7] & $[${DB_EXISTS(TL/TENANT/${tenant}/usedistinctring)}]],SIPAddHeader,Alert-Info: <${DB(TL/TENANT/${tenant}/intalertinfo)}>)

this was a very easy way to say ... internal calls ring this way.... everything else dont specify ring tone.

in your case, I would clone your inbound script and just add your SipAddHeader so you can specify the variable on just that one phone number.

to specify where I submitted my code, its done in the general settings tab for single tenant and in the tenant settings for MTE.

Thank you for the info. We are going to give this a try this morning.

This did the trick.

Thanks

serverbeach,

how did you implement this so that it rings a different way for a different DID.

This is commonly needed as many customers have several numbers that ring the same phones. They need a way to differentiate between which number is called. The callerid prefix is good but some prefer a disinctive ring.
