asterisk users - Jan 2004 - Cisco 79xx Ringtones

Hi,

I'm after two very specific ringtones for the 79xx's...

A dog barking, and a horse either galloping or neighing.

I've tried making the sounds, but for some bizarre reason they're not 
working. I used to make quite a few ringtones for the 79xx's, but I 
seem to have forgotten how to do it! And to top things off, I can't 
even find the documentation on Cisco's site for making new ringtones.

I do recall, you had to set the sample length to a divisible, something 
like 800? And there was a maximum sample length too...

Best,
Ad.

Customizing the Cisco SIP IP Phone Ring Types

The Cisco SIP IP phone ships with two ring types: Chirp1 and Chirp2. By
default, your ring type options will be those two choices. However,
using the RINGLIST.DAT file, you can customize the ring types that are
available to the Cisco SIP IP phone users.


------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------
Step 1   Create a pulse code modulation (PCM) file of the desired ring
types and store the PCM files in the root directory of your TFTP server.
PCM files must contain no header information and comply with the
following format guidelines:


8000 Hz sampling rate 
8 bits per sample 
ulaw compression 

Step 2   Using a ASCII editor, open the RINGLIST.DAT file and for each
of the ring types you are adding, specify the name as you want it to
display on the Ring Type menu, press Tab, and then specify the filename
of the ring type. For example, the format of a pointer in your
RINGLIST.DAT file should appear similar to the following:

Ring Type 1 ringer1.pcm


Step 3   After defining pointers for each of the ring types you are
adding, save your modifications and close the RINGLIST.DAT file.

Almost.
The complete specs are on
http://cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps556/products_administration_guide_chapter09186a00800c2fa1.html#21431

That page also shows the complete procedure.
If your phone doesn't use Skinny firmware, you might have to update
RINGLIST.DAT instead of ringlist.xml (though I think the new SIP loads
should also work with the xml file).

HTH,
