asterisk users - Feb 2004 - alert-info and Cisco 7960 phones (6.1)

Getting the 7960 to use the Bellcore-dr1 through dr5 was fairly
straightforward.  The release notes indicate that you can trigger other
ringtones on the phone (in the section "Support for SIP Alert-Info
Header"), but I can't get anywhere with it.

"...the Alert-Info header consists of a name of an internal tone or
ringing pattern that can be played, as shown in the following example:
Alert-Info: <Bellcore-Busy>
There is no need to add a file extension (.au, .wav) to these names..."


Does "internal" exclude those rings loaded from ringlist.dat?

Thanks for any thoughts or pointers,

Steve

In RFC-3261, the Alert-Info header is specified as a URL. When the
Alert-Info header is received, the phone downloads the file from the URL
and plays it as the alternate ring tone. This release does not support any
external ringers. Only the tones and ring patterns that are already
internal to the phone can be selected and played as an alternate ring
tone.

Right around the same area.

BTW if you want to use Alert-Info on snom just provide an http uri which
points to an 8 kHz mono 16-bit sample WAV file.

Hiya,

>Header"), but I can't get anywhere with it.
the only thing i'm getting, is using

exten => 555,1,SetVar(ALERT_INFO=7)

to get the phone to ring "Ring Ring... Ring Ring" with the preset Ring
Type.
It doesn't matter what alert_info i set, no matter if i use Bellcore-dr1 or
anything else.

What are you using, and how does the phone react to it...?

regards,

aa

I signed up with these guys on a whim. $20 a month for unlimited US/Canada
local and long. You can't take your numbe over there but they'll give
you
a new one.

So to my problem; how do I set them up as a SIP peer. I have a stanza in
my sip.conf as follows

register => 9733878280:username:password@216.229.127.40 ; galaxyvoice acct

[galaxyvoice]
type=friend
username=9738378280
secret=password
host=216.229.127.40
nat=yes
port=5060
context=default
reinvite=no
canreinvite=no
dtmfmode=inband
disallow=all
allow=gsm
allow=ulaw

I have managed to get some info from the only help they offer (and indeed
know about) which is in the form of screen shots of a Grandstream setup
page. I know the IP to be correct as well as the dtmfmode.

It seems that they must have both a username and a userid as well as my
password to get in. The username should be my phone number.

Conditions here are; yesterdays CVS build of *, Linksys router with ports
5000-5100 & 10000-20000 forwarded to the * host.

All other things work like FWD, IAXTel and IPTel.

Any ideas?

Thanks
