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. P

I am looking for clues on how to configure distinctive ring for a PolyCom SoundPoint 300. Does ALERT_INFO apply? If so, how? Thanks, David Koski david.nospham@kosmosisland.com

Hi, I'm using asterisk 1.2.1 on a debian sarge distro. I've followed notes in http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Polycom+auto-answer+config and http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/index.php?page=OptiPoint+600+SIP+-+Distictive+ring+using+ALERT_INFO but I still cannot change ring style via asterisk using exten => 666,1,SipAddHeader(ALERT_INFO="ring3") in extensions.conf . Is it

Greetings, I am trying to implement distinctive ringing on a Cisco 7960. I have tried setting alert_info to chirp1 or chirp2 before dialing the phone, but it has no affect. If you have successfully implemented distinctive ringing on a 7960, I would really appreciate seeing the snipit of code that works. Thanks in advance Bruce Komito High Sierra Networks, Inc. www.servers-r-us.com (775)

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

CVS Head from 07/07/2005 I'm trying to make an IP-501 auto answer a call. exten => 301,1,SetVar(_ALERT_INFO="Ring_Ans") exten => 301,2,SetVar(ALERT_INFO="Ring_Ans") # Tried both combinations exten => 301,3,Dial(SIP/5001,15) exten => 301,4,Hangup Sip.cfg for Polycom phone <alertInfo voIpProt.SIP.alertInfo.2.value="Ring_Ans"

I'm trying to change the ring tone on my 7960 from the dialplan. I've tried the example on the wiki but it doesn't seem to work. Something like: exten => 3010,1,SetVar(ALERT_INFO=<Bellcore-dr1>) ; selects Ringer exten => 3010,2,Dial(SIP/3010,15) I'm not sure what the Bellcore-dr1 ringer is supposed to be. I've tried replacing ALERT_INFO with another ring tone

In ipmid.cfg I have: <G3INTERCOM se.rt.10.name="G3INTERCOM" se.rt.4.type="ring-answer" se.rt.4.timeout="1000" se.rt.10.ringer="7"/> In sip.cfg I have: <alertInfo voIpProt.SIP.alertInfo.1.value="G3INTERCOM" voIpProt.SIP.alertInfo.1.class="10"/> I set up a test extension: exten =>

Hi All - I'm trying to implement the auto-answer config from the wiki, but the result for me is that the phone just rings as normal. I'm running firmware version 1.4.1 on an IP500. I've added the following to my sip.cfg: <alertInfo voIpProt.SIP.alertInfo.2.value="Ring Answer" voIpProt.SIP.alertInfo.2.class="4"/> and this to my ipmid.cfg

I've done the unspeakable. I took a working setup of 1.0.5 and upgraded with the latest cvs. with 1.0.5 distinctive ring worked great. with the latest cvs, it doesn't seem to work with my sipura 2000 (the only thing i have to test it with). I can see in console that its sending the info, but its not working? i realize the likely hood is I messed something up somehow during checkout or

Hi, I'm having trouble setting the ringtone on my Polycom 501. The relevant entry in extensions.conf is: exten => 801,hint,SIP/creative1 exten => 801,1,SetVar(ALERT_INFO="Test") exten => 801,2,Dial(SIP/creative1,20,Ttr) In the sip.cfg: <alertInfo voIpProt.SIP.alertInfo.1.value="Test" voIpProt.SIP.alertInfo.1.class="13"/> and <TEST

(new asterisk user - currently setting up Polycom IP600 phones) Does anyone know if it's possible to make a sip phone instantly pick up on speakerphone when a particular call comes in? Eg so that you can quickly bother someone across the office without making them reach for their phone?

I am wondering if there are any tricks getting the Cisco ATAs to do "distinctive rings" via the ALERT_INFO variable? I have seen some contradictory information in the Wiki, and I tried the example there. I then sniffed the connection between the server and the ATA and didn't see the header sent like it is "supposed" to be. If someone out there has a handle on this and

Hi, I've just found: http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-users/2003-June/014475.html which talks about ALERT_INFO and Cisco phones. How do I actually get this working and what does it do? Do I need to add anything to the configs for the phone or is it just a SetVar(ALERT_INFO=1) - which I tried and it seemed to do nothing at all.. Thanks Andy

A call comes in I set the distinctive ring by setting variable ALERT_INFO then dial a SIP channel. The channel is answered, but then the user forwards the call to another SIP channel. ALERT_INFO is still set. How can I clear the ALERT_INFO variable after the SIP channel is answered so that when the call is forwarded the ring goes back to "normal"?

Hi all, Has anyone gotten custom ring tones to work using ALERT_INFO with the Cisco 7940 SIP phone? I've read the wiki, but just can't get this to work. I'm currently using the 7.2 SIP image. Thanks, Chris

I appreciate the effort you put into these releases.

Hi Everyone, Using Elastix (FreePBX + Asterisk 1.4.2x combination) with Aastra phones, how can one receive distinctive ring tones for INTERNAL calls ONLY? Even though FreePBX Inbound has an option for Alert_INFO but that doesn't work when the call comes into an IVR or Queue. The calls has to go directly to extension for external ringtone to be different. So, I am looking for internal calls

I use the following macro for my extensions. It only works with Zap channels and assumes that any Caller*ID number that is 4 digits is an internal call and all other calls are external calls. Use like this: exten => 1234,1,Macro(std-exten,Zap/4,20) [macro-std-exten] ; ; Caller*ID is 4 digits (internal call) ; exten => s/_XXXX,1,Dial(${ARG1}r2,${ARG2}) exten =>
