Hello! Is there any way to change the ringing style in some special occasions. For example, if someone is call from a specific extension, or a call is coming from outside, the sip phone (software or hardware) rings differently.
Is there any parameter in Dial() function that can specify the ring style ?
I don’t use any extra hardware like FXS/FXO pci cards…
Ringers, and ringing styles are controlled by the SIP endpoint. You should check your phone/softphone to see if it has options for assigning ring styles to different call types.
If the phones you’re using allow you to set the ring tone differently for different “lines” you can just have internal calls go over one SIP connection and external incoming on another. . . I use Aastra phones (57i) and they allow for different sip connections to be placed on different lines that would work perfectly for this.
I understand that the ring style is phone matter not Asterisk… I was thinking Asterisk could “transmit” different kind of signal to these end points, but this doesnot happen as you told me…
Not exclusivly, this method works with Polycom siprua Cisco and many others, You dont say what handset you have. you may need to change the notify message but its a starting block.
