asterisk users - Mar 2006 - Problem with setting ringtones on Cisco 7960 phone.

Hi All,
I am running into a problem setting the ringtones via _ALERT_INFO on the
Cisco 7960 phone.  
 
I am using * 1.2.1 and have tried setting the variable to several
values.  I have also tried setting the phone's software to both 7.5 and
8.2 thinking that it might be a version issue, but with no success.
 
I have examined the packets and do see the ALERT_INFO header being sent,
but the phone is not responding.
 
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

~Greg

I am having this exact same problem. I have tried 7.5, 7.4, and 8.2. I 
have tried setting ALERT_INFO and _ALERT_INFO and have tried several 
ringtones without any luck.

According to the WIKI, it should work:

[snippet]
Controlling ring tones from Asterisk
By setting the Asterisk variable ALERT_INFO before you call Dial, Asterisk 
will add ringer tone info to the SIP invite that is sent to the phone.

  exten => 3010,1,SetVar(ALERT_INFO=<Bellcore-dr1>) ; selects Ringer
  exten => 3010,2,Dial(SIP/3010,15)

Note: In SIP_HEAD or v1+ you wil need to do the following:
  exten => 3010,1,SetVar(_ALERT_INFO=something)

Available ring tones by default
  Bellcore-BusyVerify
  Bellcore-Stutter
  Bellcore-MsgWaiting
  Bellcore-dr1
  Bellcore-dr2
  Bellcore-dr3
  Bellcore-dr4
  Bellcore-dr5

[end snippet]


Does anybody have any ideas? Thanks!

Using the current svn trunk, here is what works:
exten => 3010,1,Set(_ALERT_INFO=bellcore-r3) ; selects Ringer
exten => 3010,2,Dial(SIP/3010,15)

The above causes a 7960 to ring with two short rings.

As I recall from playing with the 7960 a long time ago, the phone only 
has limited number of ring tones installed. E.g., what works for a 
Sipura (as one example) will be different for the 7960.

I suppose that works. I get two short rings. Is there a way to change the
actual sound of it, though?

hello, maybe quite off topic, but is there any way, how to do some like:
exten => 
3010,2,Dial(SIP/3010/ALERT_INFO=normal_ringtone&SIP/3011/ALERT_INFO=beep_ringtone)

so, ring on two lines concurently, but using two distinguish tones (eg. 
I would like to be informed, about incomming call for other phone, but 
only with beep tone on my phone)

Is there an easy way to find out what ringtones a Cisco 79XX has
installed?  I've tried going through the Telnet interface, but can't
find any lists of ringtones.  Trying the code below produces a different
kind of ring, but not two short rings as indicated.  I've also seen the
ringtone listed as Bellcore-dr3.  Is it case sensitive?

Thanks!
