asterisk users - Apr 2007 - Can I add distinctive ring with asterisk and TDM400?

Hello -
I have a TDM400P with 2 FXO and 2 FXS modules.

Feeding the FXS modules are two VOIP lines which are terminated by
VOIP adapters and have regular RJ11 wires connecting to the FXS ports.

Since the two different VOIP lines have different phone numbers, and I
know and can tell asterisk which VOIP line is connected to which FXS
port, can I cause a distinctive ring on the extensions if a call comes
in the 2nd VOIP line?

ie, I'd like to ring all extensions when a call comes in either VOIP
line, but I'd like to give a distinctive ring in the case the call
came in the 2nd VOIP line.

Here is what I have in extensions.conf right now, which works well,
except doesn't include any support for distinctive ring:

[globals]
ALLPHONES=Zap/1&Zap/2
;
;other stuff

[default]
;
; other stuff

exten => s,1,NoOp
exten => s,n,Dial(${ALLPHONES})
exten => s,n,Hangup


I'm not sure if this is something that could/should be implemented in
extensions.conf or zapata.conf

Thinking I might be able to do this with a context in zapata.conf and
possibly extensions.conf but I'd need some tips.

But just realized I can turn on distinctive ringing for one of the
lines through my VOIP provider. As long as asterisk will pass this
through, it solves my question.

A follow-up with the solution in case anyone else is looking for this answer:

I created two contexts in my zapata.conf file, since each VOIP line is
terminated by a VOIP adapter and then just comes in "hardwired" to the
TDM400 via RJ11 line, I know which VOIP number is connected to which
Wildcard port.

In Zapata.conf:

usedistinctiveringdetection=yes

; ...

signalling=fxs_ks
context=incoming-voipsunr
rxgain=0
txgain=2.5
channel => 3

signalling=fxs_ks
context=incoming-voipvp
rxgain=0
txgain=2.5
channel => 4

- - -

Now in extensions.conf, I can ring the phones with a normal ring (DIAL
with no ring parameter) when a call comes in the voip-sunr context. Or
I can ring with a distinctive ring when a call comes in the voip-vp
context:

[incoming-voipsunr]
exten => s,1,NoOp
exten => s,n,Dial(${ALLPHONES})
exten => s,n,Hangup

[incoming-voipvp]
exten => s,1,NoOp
exten => s,n,Dial(${ALLPHONES}r2)
exten => s,n,Hangup

The r2 in the second context causes a distinctive ring. ALLPHONES is
defined above in my extensions.conf as ALLPHONES=ZAP/1&ZAP/2


Hope that's useful to someone else. It works for me.
