The following sections describe how you can customize the phone ring types that
are available at your site by creating your own 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 6-4
RingList.xml File Format Requirements
The RingList.xml file defines an XML object that contains a list of phone ring
types. Each ring type contains a pointer to the PCM file that is used for that ring
type and the text that will appear in the Ring Type menu of
Cisco IP Communicator for that ring. The C:\ Program Files\Cisco\TFTPPath
directory of the Cisco TFTP server for each Cisco CallManager contains this file.
The CiscoIPPhoneRingList XML object uses the following simple tag set to
describe the information:
<CiscoIPPhoneRingList>
<Ring>
<DisplayName/>
<FileName/>
</Ring>
</CiscoIPPhoneRingList>
The following characteristics apply to the definition names. You must include the
required DisplayName and FileName for each phone ring type:
• DisplayName defines the name of the custom ring for the associated PCM file
that will display in the Ring Type menu of Cisco IP Communicator.
• FileName specifies the name of the PCM file for the custom ring to associate
with DisplayName.
Note The DisplayName and FileName fields must not exceed 25 characters.
