Customizing the Cisco IP Phone
This chapter explains how you customize phone ring sounds and background
images at your site. Ring sounds play when the phone receives a call. Background
images appear on the phone’s LCD screen.

Creating Custom Phone Rings
The Cisco IP Phone ships with two default ring types that are implemented in
hardware: Chirp1 and Chirp2. Cisco CallManager also provides a default set of
additional phone ring sounds that are implemented in software as pulse code
modulation (PCM) files. The PCM files, along with an XML file (named
RingList.xml) that describes the ring list options that are available at your site,
exist in the TFTP directory on each Cisco CallManager server.
The following sections describe how you can customize the phone rings that are
available at your site by creating PCM files and editing the RingList.xml file:
• RingList.xml File Format Requirements, page 6-2
• PCM File Requirements for Custom Ring Types, page 6-3
• Configuring a Custom Phone Ring, page 6-3
