asterisk users - Jul 2004 - Cisco 7960 SIP V6 and distinctive ring.

Hi

Can anyone with distinctive ring on their 7960's possibly post how
they've got it to work?

I understand that the ALERT_INFO variable is involved but using the examples for
the variable value from the WiKi I'm just getting an error message from the
Asterisk concole.

Thanks in advance.

I'm setting it to 'Bellcore-dr1' through 'Bellcore-dr4'. 
I'm grabbing
the value out of Asterisk's database and sticking it into ALERT_INFO 
like this:

[macro-setalertinfo]
   exten => s,1,DBGet(ALERT_INFO=distinctivering/${CALLERIDNUM})

Works fine for me.  You should also be able to do 
'SetVar(ALERT_INFO=Bellcore-dr1)' without problems.  Can you show us 
the line that's generating errors?

Hello.  Here is what my extension which uses distinctive ring on a
Cisco 7960 running V6.2 firmware looks like.  Note that the distinctive
ring tones are changes in cadence, rather than changes in ringing sounds on
the 7960.  Also, if you adjust the ringer volume wile the distinctive ring
is sounding, the phone will revert to the non-distinctive ring cadence.

I managed to get the line working.....but I can't hear a difference in
cadence.

I read in the wiki there is a bug logged with cisco to make distinctive ring
more distinctive so i'm gonna wait till then before pursuing it further.

I'm going to focus on xml services in the short term....god these phones are
powerful.

Thanks for your help.
