How to play ringtone on cisco ip phone programmatically?

[mahmoud.saleh]

i am running a timertask to check for new emails, and if there are new emails play default ringtone on the ip phone, so i was wondering how to play default ringtone on cisco ip phone programmatically from java code, not from jsp page.

please advise, thanks.

I can see two ways of doing this. Daft as it may sound, the simplest way is just to get your program to make a phone call !

The other way is to use a variety of the CallManager APIs. The developer web site is your friend here:

You'll need to use several of the API sets:

- IP Phone Services to play an audio stream. (You can't just play a WAV file on a phone - well you can, but there are limits on it.)

- RIS to get the IP Address of a device

- AXL to get the device name from a phone number.
