Cisco Ringtones

We are currently installing an IP soloution based on call manager that has a mixture of 7940's and 7960's handsets.

Our financial Director does not like any of the 25 supplied ring tones.  Is there any way to replace the existing ones.  He mentioned that 'on the series '24' they have 7960's with a different ring tone!' directors hay!!

Can anyone shed any light on this.

Thank in advance

yes you can change the ring tones. They are wave files that you can insert/change.

If you go to the TFTP directory of the callmanager, think it is something like c:\program files\cisco\tftppath. There is a file called ringlist.dat or .xml. This is the file where all the rings are located. So you can add or delete entries from this file.

The wav files have to be made with the following settings:

Raw PCM (no header)
8000 samples per second
8 bits per sample
uLaw compression
Maximum ring size — 16080 samples
Minimum ring size — 240 samples
Number of samples in the ring must be evenly divisible by 240
Ring should start and end at the zero crossing

You can do this with a program like CoolEdit or something else.

Reagrds,

Many thanks for all your help guys.

I have found the ring tone in wav format (24 CTU) and converted it to raw using cool edit.  However when I transfere it to the cisco system there is a problem playing the tone.  I comes out of the phone all distorted.  

I have checked the setting and it all appears OK.  

Any pointers gents.

I could send the wav file to you if required.

Thanks in advance
Ray

You can use the Sound Recorder tool in windows.  Just read a wave in and when saving it change the format from PCM to CCITT u-Law.

I used this method to create our custom ring tones and it worked perfectly.
Just change the extension of the file to .raw.
copy it to
c:\Program Files\Cisco\TFTPPath\
and edit
c:\Program Files\Cisco\TFTPPath\Rinlist.xml
hope this helps

Thanks for that that worked a treat.  I can believe that this could be done with something so simple as windows sound recorder.

Cheers

Here's an example of how to do the conversion using SoX (available on most Linux distributions or can be downloaded from sox.sourceforce.net):

sox -t wav in.wav -t raw -r 8000 -U -b -c 1 - resample -ql out.raw

I've found the tftp directory, made changes to the XML files on both callmanagers, restarted both systems and reset all my phones but I'm still stuck with the same set of ringtones. Why?

I found that sometimes I had to do a manual reset on the phones by using **#**.

if your tftp server is set to cache (by default) you can turn off caching and then turn it back on it should cache the new file. You can also try restarting the tftp service

Hi Ray,

Can you tell me where you got the WAV file for that ring tone?  I'd like to add it to my phone as well...

Thanks...

Anyone care to share their ringtones? We could start a repository of Cisco 79xx ringtones that everyone could use.

If you let me have your e-mail address I will send it to you.

Ray

Raymondo206, could you send me the ring tone as well. vulturecp@hotmail.com. Also Ive noticed there are two rings for 24's CTU. There is the internal ring and the external ring, have you noticed this?

Thank you,
Chuck

Hi,

Have you guys been able to get the CTU ring to work correctly?  After I converted it to RAW format and added to my Call Manager, I hear mostly static and the ring is very very faint, not to mention it sounds as if it was playing too quickly.

Any suggestions appreciated...

Thanks...

Ray, While you are at it.  I'd love the 24 ring tone. dcovington@triwest.com

Thanks a bunch.  We are just begining our VoIP project and this would be a "like to have" I can work on.

Any luck on getting a web site or a common place to share these??

Files on the way.  A website would be a cracking idea.  I have a few bits I could share.

Ray

I've started to put a web site together
It’s got some ring tones and instructions on how to add them to CCM.
Check it out:
http://www.freewebs.com/ccmtones/

I don’t have much experience with HTML, so ill keep the site simple.
Please point out any mistakes or errors
If you have anything to add, send it to the mail e-mail address on the site.

Hopfully we'll be able to build a big list of tones

Cheers

I am looking for a Ringtone that is just silence for use with 3.3.2 Distinctive Ring Tones.  So far every ringtone I generate following the above methods fails to work.  Anybody have one they can send me?

Thanks much!

I have added my wav file into the folder and changed the ringlist.xml file to show this.

when i go to the ring options on the phone i get

BAD RING LIST FILE! and I only have the Chirp 1 and 2 tones there

I can view this XML file fine in the web browser!!!

Any Help is much appreciated

hey ray - you the man!!! can you send me the 24 ring tone also to skuehn@hmh-engineers.com?

i have been searching forever on the internet for it.

thanks,

stephan

Raymondo206,

Could you also send me a copy of the ringtone?
simon@xts.nl

thanx in advance.

Hi, would someone be able to send me the '24' ring tone. We just got those new groovy phones and I would love to have that ring tone to go with it. wesfranke@hotmail.com
Thanks, Much appreciated.

E-mails with ringtone sent sorry for the delay.

Ray

I'd like to add the 24 ring tone on my call manager.  Would you e-mail it to me at ssisk@vp.com

Thanks,

At the risk of flooding this poor boys server, you can get the 24 ringtone here :

Knock yourselves out!

Is there anyway to have 2 ringlists?  We would like to have a set of ring tones in the IT dept that may not be acceptable to publish company wide.

What i've done is add my special ringtone to the list.  Selected it on my phone, then removed it from the list so no one else can select it.

You will find a ton of stuff at http://ccmstuff.org
