Alert_Info setting for distinctive ring

Hello.

What are the syntax settings for the ALERT_INFO option.

Im using digium d40/d50 phones and trying to have a distinctive ring for a ring group.

Cheers

Howdy,

It depends.

If you’re doing configuration via DPMA, then you’ll need to define an Alert and then apply that Alert to the phone. See:
wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/ … ionOptions

If you’re doing configuration via XML, then you’ll need to define the Alerts:
wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/pages/vi … nesElement
(Alerts is a child-element of Ringtones in the XML config).

To affect the alert, you’ll need to do a SIPAddHeader in your dialplan before you put the Dial through to the phone. It’ll look something like:

Where what’s encapsulated in the angle brackets, i.e. intercom, is the DPMA or XML alert_info string.
