Distinctive ringtone feature for cme

[hamid ghani]

Hi guys,,

i need to configure distinctive ringtone feature in cme (different ring from pstn and internal extension)

,, but i have one confusion below in the description  it is saying that ring pattern for all types on incoming calls..which means if i configure "ring external".. it choose  one external ring pattern for all internal calls and external calls?

or it will choose different ringing for external calls.

cme admin guide

Step 5

ring {external | internal | feature} [primary | secondary]

Example: Router(config-ephone-dn)# ring internal

Designates which ring pattern to be used for all types of incoming calls to this directory number, on all phones on which the directory number appears

Hi Hamid,

Just for External calls

Here is a better description;

Distinctive ring is used to identify internal and external incoming calls. An internal calls is defined as a call originating from any Cisco Unified  IP phone that is registered in Cisco Unified CME or is routed through the local FXS port.

Cheers!

Hi Hamid,

Yes, if you use (config below) you will receive a different ring for External (PSTN) calls vs Internal calls
;

Router(config-ephone-dn)# ring external
