asterisk users - Aug 2005 - PolyCom SoundPoint 300 and distinctive ring

I am looking for clues on how to configure distinctive ring for a PolyCom
SoundPoint
300. Does ALERT_INFO apply? If so, how?

Thanks,

Yes it does apply.  Near the top of your sip.cfg file, you should have lines 
like this:

<alertInfo voIpProt.SIP.alertInfo.1.value="ring-answer" 
voIpProt.SIP.alertInfo.1.class="4"/>
<alertInfo voIpProt.SIP.alertInfo.2.value="internal" 
voIpProt.SIP.alertInfo.2.class="5"/>
<alertInfo voIpProt.SIP.alertInfo.3.value="doorphone" 
voIpProt.SIP.alertInfo.3.class="6"/>
(I have a few here for auto-answer, internal extension ring cadence, and a 
Zap doorphone alert)

You will also have something like these toward the bottom of sip.cfg under 
<ringType>
<RING_ANSWER se.rt.4.name="Ring Answer"
se.rt.4.type="ring-answer"
se.rt.4.timeout="2000" se.rt.4.ringer="7"/>
<INTERNAL se.rt.5.name="Internal" se.rt.5.type="ring"
se.rt.5.ringer="3"/>
<DOORPHONE se.rt.6.name="Doorphone" se.rt.6.type="ring" 
se.rt.6.ringer="11"/>

Notice the connection between the class=4 on ring-answer above and below.

Duplicate these lines if you don't have them.  Place them within the 
<SIP></SIP> section and the <ringType> sections respectively. 
Pick your
ringer values based on the ones on the IP300 menu, which gives you chirps, 
stutters, and trills etc.

Whatever value you have assigned (i.e. doorphone) is the value you must have 
set in the _ALERT_INFO variable when you make the Dial(SIP) command:

[doorphone]
exten => s,1,Answer ;DOORPHONE IS CALLING
exten => s,2,SetCIDName(Doorphone 1)
exten => s,3,SetCIDNum(400)
exten => s,4,SetVar(_ALERT_INFO=doorphone) ;SET ALERT-INFO TO POLYCOMS
exten => s,5,Monitor(gsm,doorphone-${TIMESTAMP},m) ;RECORD THE DOORPHONE 
CALL
exten =>
s,6,Dial(SIP/101&SIP/102&SIP/104&SIP/201&SIP/203&Zap/2r3&Zap/3,22)
;RING SOME PHONES
exten => s,7,Playback(nobody-but-chickens) ; NOBODY'S HOME
exten => s,8,Hangup

Note that you need the first underscore for ALERT_INFO if you are using 
CVS-HEAD.

Hope that helps!
