ata-186 distinctive ring

[pwlnw]

Hi.

There are good feature in ata-186 -

distinctive ring, so internal calls generate one ring, externals two short rings.

But many customers migrate from old pbx, wich rings totally different (in default configuration).

How I can configure this distinctive ring ?

Maybe this is not implemeted yet? I think this is trivial modification - only one bit in config file can be used.

The Cisco ATA provides a distinction in the ringer sound for internal and external calls. Internal calls generate one ring, while external calls generate two rings with a very short pause between the rings. No configuration is required and the ring patterns are not configurable.

Go to service parameters -->call manager --> and set the parameter "H323 Network Location OffNet" to true.

Great idea, but useless for our customers.

We use mgcp gateways and incoming calls already marked as external(OffNet).

It seems cisco don't offer imperceptible migration. It is sad.
