Hey folks,

Just got a bunch of IP320s for our office system. They seem to work fine, I've provisionned only one of them so far I'm still in planning. I thought the default ringtones sucked, so I successfully configured two custom ringtones in sip.cfg which I placed in my tftp home dir. This works fine.
What I want to do now is to set one of them as default for EXTERNAL calls, and the other as default for INTERNAL calls. I thought I figured out where to do this in , I set default, I set external and internal, but it still comes up with whatever the old default ringtone was. I was select these ringtones manually, but I want these settings to be default, and then I want to disable changing them for my users.
I am using latest firmware, sip and bootrom from the package manager in tb (3.0.1?).

Thanks,

The only way I know to do

The only way I know to do this (and I am sure you will get more suggestions) is have two extensions per phone. The only purpose of the second extension is for ring groups.

You can then assign the ring to each registration.

There are also ways to do this in Asterisk but it will break trix/FreePBX.

OK so forget about

OK so forget about distinctive rings then, I just want to set the default ringtone through config and prohibit changes.
I have this line set in the ringtype section:

Quote:
<DEFAULT se.rt.1.name="Default" se.rt.1.type="ring" se.rt.1.ringer="14" se.rt.1.callWait="6" se.rt.1.mod="1"/>

I changed the default ringer value from "2" to "14" which is the index of the 2nd sampled ringtone. Doesn't seem to work, I cleared the phones config and reloaded it and it still had number 2 selected.

The only way I could make

The only way I could make the default settings work is by setting:
reg.1.ringType="14"
in my MACreg.cfg file. Two downsides though, I need to add this setting to all extensions one by one, and the user can change it any time they want.
Can I fit this line in sip.cfg or another global config file?
Just put it in a reg object?

What about prohibiting user changes?
