The former Feature Descriptions & Technical Notifications page holds a guide => here <= on how to load a custom Ring Tone for environments that need a louder ring tone.

 

  • The Community Member Telus provided a conversion guide on how to use .Wav files => here <=
  • The Community Member  Brad303 provided another Comprehensive Custom Ringtone Guide =>here<=

 

In addition, you may prefer a certain incoming line to ring with a different Ring Tone.

 

From the UCS 5.2.0 Admin Guide (Page 403):

 

<saf/>

 

The phone uses built-in wave files for some sound effects. The built-in wave files can be replaced with files downloaded from the provisioning server or from the Internet.

 

NOTE: Above should state additional Wave files can be used as they do not replace the built-on files and the statement should be amended in future Admin guides!

 

However, these are stored in volatile memory so the files need to remain accessible if the phone needs to be rebooted.

 

Files are truncated to a maximum size of 300 kilobytes (Pre VVX Phones) and a maximum size of 600 kilobytes (614400 bytes) for all ringtones.

 

NOTE: This statement describes the combined file size of all files used and the statement should be amended in future Admin guides!

 

The phones support the following sampled audio WAVE (.wav) file formats:

 

 

mono 8 kHz G.711 u-Law Supported on all phones
mono L16/8000 (16-bit dynamic range, 8-kHz sample rate)  Supported on All phones
G.711 A-Law Supported on all phones
mono 8 kHz A-law/mu-law  Supported on all phones
L8/16000 (16-bit, 8 kHz sampling rate, mono) Supported on all phones
L16/16000 (16-bit, 16 kHz sampling rate, mono)  Supported on all phones
L16/32000 (16-bit, 32 kHz sampling rate, mono)  Supported on VVX 500/501, 600/601, and 1500
L16/44100 (16-bit, 44.1 kHz sampling rate, mono) Supported on VVX 500/501, 600/601, and 1500
L16/48000 (16-bit, 48 kHz sampling rate, mono) Supported on VVX 500/501, 600/601, and 1500

 

 

saf.x Null, valid path name, or an RFC 1738-compliant URL to an HTTP,
FTP, or TFTP wave file resource.

 

  • If Null, the phone uses a built-in file.
  • If set to a pathname, the phone attempts to download this file at boot time from the provisioning server.
  • If set to a URL, the phone attempts to download this file at boot time from the Internet

Example:

 

<test saf.1="tftp://somehost.example.com/sounds/example.wav." />


Example 1 special ring tone: 

 

The below example is for a special Ring Tone (ringer14) called Splash to be played on an incoming call when the Alert-Info fields from INVITE requests contain SpecialRing in the SIP Invite.

 

NOTE: This depends on your SIP Server's ability to modify the SIP INFO Header!

Example 2 special ring tone and action:

 Wireshark example:

The phone supports the following ring classes:

  • default
  • visual
  • answerMute
  • autoAnswer
  • ringAnswerMute
  • ringAutoAnswer
  • internal
  • external
  • emergency
  • precedence
  • splash
  • custom<y> where y is 1 to 17.

 

NOTE: Above example is for UC Software 3.3.0 and later!

 

Attached is an Example File of the above called ringAutoAnswer.zip

 

The Community Member Wdbarker3 provided an enhanced example containing all Ring Tones included in the Software to be mapped against Alert-Info Headers.

 

These are:

Silent
Low Trill
Low Double Trill
Medium Trill
Medium Double Trill
High Trill
High Double Trill
Highest Trill
Highest Double Trill
Beeble
Triplet
Ringback-style
Low Trill Precedence
Ring Splash

 

Example attached as: PolycomTones.zip

 

In addition, external Ringtones can be loaded. An example of this could be:

NOTE: Above example is for UC Software 3.3.0 and later!

 

saf.x (Sampled Audio File Number) defines the name and the Location and could be http:\\testserver.com\LoudRing.wav instead

se.pat.ringer.x.name defines the name shown in the Ring Type Menu ( Settings => Basic => Ring Type )

se.pat.ringer.x.value maps the Ring Tone to the saf.x Value

 

Example with Ringtones attached as: ExternalRingTones.zip

 

Please consult the SIP / UC Admin Guide for more details and different settings.

 

Example 3 external ring tone on SIP INVITE:

 

The below Wireshark trace shows an example where a URL is specified within the Alert-Info which will then play on the Phone.

 

Prerequisite in this setup is the server hosting the file.

 

In this example, we use LoudRing.wav which is included when you download the Polycom software.

 

image

 

 

Example 4 adding additional ring tones

 

Utilizing the Web Interface (UCS 4.0.0 or newer) an external Ringtone can simply be loaded via the Web Interface:

 

image

 

You can add custom ringtones to your phone, and you can apply custom ringtones to specific contacts or phone lines.

 

The phones support the following .wav file formats: G.711u-law, G.711a-law, G.722, G.729AB, Lin16, and iLBC.

To add an audio file to the list, click the Add Audio file icon.

 

You can upload an audio file from your PC or enter a URL pointing to an audio file.

 

Audio files should have a .wav extension name.

 

If you select a file, it will be stored in the phone's flash memory and a copy will be made to the => provisioning server <=.

 

You can save a maximum of 23 audio files or until the phone runs out of memory (depending on the phone model and the individual size of the files).

 

You can also define additional Wav files (must be on your provisioning server) via a configuration file: 

<Tone saf.2="LoudRing.wav" />

 Above would set the Ringer 15 to the LoudRing Wave file.

Example 5:

 

  • Server independent Intercom

 

UCS 5.2.0 added a new Feature to the compatible phones. This is Server independent as the Phone simply adds the Alert-Info within the INVITE. This works for example also with LYNC or Skype for Business.

 

feature.intercom.enable="1" voIpProt.SIP.intercom.alertInfo="Test"

 

  • The Above will use the String intercom-Test
  • The above places a new Softkey (after pressing more)

    image

  • And adds a new Menu Option:

    image

Pressing this key will present the User with the normal Dial Screen and they simply dial the extension of any Intercom Enabled user.

 

The INVITE will then contain this:

Obi Edition distinctive ring

 

  • Via the Web Interface go to Ring Settings > Ring Pattern > Select Ring Profile A or B > Choose a Ring Pattern

  • In the above, we chose Ring Pattern 1 and 2. The rest can be used following this example. The tones matched are:
    Handset Tone Alert Info
    Handset Default  Bellcore-dr1
    Low Trill Bellcore-dr2
    Medium Trill Bellcore-dr3
    High Trill Bellcore-dr4
    Highest Trill Bellcore-dr5
    Beeble User-dr1
    Triplet User-dr2
    Silent Ring User-dr3


  • On a compatible server setup the SIP header to include the Alert Info:
    exten = _940XXXX,1,SIPAddHeader(Alert-Info: http://127.0.0.1/Bellcore-dr1)
    exten = _940XXXX,n,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN:3})

UC Software 5.7.0 added SIP emergency message

 

This feature can be used in situations where a large number of people need to be alerted about an emergency situation without using an audible alarm, it is useful to use Instant Messaging to pop up something onto a display. At present, instant messages sent to the phone only get shown when the user chooses to look at IM.

 

Use a SIP message to send an Instant Message to a phone. If the message has “Emergency” set in the priority header, the compatible phone will automatically display the message on the phone UI.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<!-- Since UC Software 5.7.0 or later -->
<!-- feature.instantMessaging.ring -->
<!-- Default would be a audible Ring. User ="silent" to alert only visually -->
<!-- feature.instantMessaging.displayTimeout -->
<!-- Default is 1 Minute. Can be up to 60 Minutes -->
<web feature.instantMessaging.enabled="1" feature.instantMessaging.ring="" feature.instantMessaging.displayTimeout="" />

 

Use feature.instantMessaging.ring="silent" for example to visually alert only in an active shooter scenario.

 

The Phone expects a SIP Message using the priority as emergency
