asterisk users - Aug 2008 - distinctive ring on sipura

Hi All,

I'm trying to move some POTS phones from Zap to sipura.  I've searched
and read a several articles which suggest that something like this should work:

exten => 600,1,Dial(SIP/cordless)
exten => 600,n,Hangup()

exten => 700,1,Set(ALERT_INFO=Bellcore-r2)
exten => 700,n,Dial(SIP/cordless)
exten => 700,n,Hangup()

Unforutnately though 600 and 700 sound exactly the same -- normal US ring.  I
found this in the sipura config:

Ring1 Cadence:	60(2/4) 	Ring2 Cadence:	60(.3/.2,1/.2,.3/4)
Ring1 Name:	Bellcore-r1	Ring2 Name:	Bellcore-r2

So I think I'm on the right track, but just passing the variable wrong.

Here's the console output during the call:

    -- Executing [700 at internal:1] Set("SIP/office-081c5970",
"ALERT_INFO=Bellcore-r2") in new stack
    -- Executing [700 at internal:2] Dial("SIP/office-081c5970",
"SIP/cordless") in new stack
    -- Called cordless
    -- SIP/cordless-081cba38 is ringing

This is all on 1.4.21.2.  When the phone is plugged into the zap card, Zap/1r2
definitely rings differently on the phone.

Thanks a bunch in advance for any help.

Best regards,

David

I am successfully using this in my dialplan for a number of Sipuras
(modified to fit your dialplan):

      exten => 700,1,SIPAddHeader(Alert-Info: info=<Bellcore-r2>)

Not saying there's no other way to get it accomplished, but this is known to
work (1.4.21.2).
