Change the default tones on the IP phone

[aaavvvmmm]

Hi,

Can someone advice how and if I can change the default tones on the IP phones?

I have CM 6.X and I want to change the default tones (Busy tone, Ringing Tone etc).

I saw the phone uses the file 7960-tones.xml for local tones .

I'm trying to understand the structure of this file and if I can change it so the phone will use different tones.

For example this is the original setting for busy tone -

<tone c1="30467" i1="-1104" c2="28959" i2="-1404" d="2" t="busy">

<part m="on" t="500"/>

<part m="off" t="500"/>

<repeat c="65535"/>

</tone>

Can someone explain the parameters on the first line ?

<tone c1="30467" i1="-1104" c2="28959" i2="-1404" d="2" t="busy">

I think the following part tells the phone the on and off frequencies

<part m="on" t="500"/>

<part m="off" t="500"/>

The problem is I tried changing the parameters of the “on” and “off” frequencies and loaded the new file to the call manager tftp (using the same name and restarting the tftp service on the call manager) but when recycling the phone I saw error message of “Bad Tone File” and the phone used the “old” tones.

Regards,

Aviram

On the TFTP server, edit the file C:\Program Files\Cisco\TFTPPath\Locale-name\7960-tones.xml

Save the file, then restart the TFTP service and wait for files to be rebuilt.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

I have CM 6.x the filesystem is Linux based.I don't have access to C:\Program Files\Cisco\TFTPPath\Locale-name\ .

However, I downloaded the file to my PC using TFTP server and edit the file but it looks like the phones won't relate to the new file. I see error message on the phone - Bad tone file. I'm looking for explanation on the structure of the file as I wrote on the previous message.

Thanks,

Aviram
