asterisk users - Dec 2009 - problem with ring being sent to caller

I am using asterisk 1.6.0 and -- not all the time -- when a caller comes
in and my ivrdials an extension, the ring he gets sounds like a modem
handshake instead of the normal ring tone and it only sounds once even
if the phone is not picked up.  Anyone seeing this -- the logs look fine
as far as I can tell.

How do
you spend it?

Since you have 'answered' the caller's call, so the ring cannot be
sent as a
signal to the caller.. Instead, it is sent in media. Asterisk does the ring
generation in audio for you.

You can control and configure the type of ring that asterisk generates by
configuring indications.conf


To start with, you can change:-

country=us
>
to

country=sg
>

Restart or reload asterisk and see if the 'ring' now sounds less
harsher.
