PCM File Requirements for Custom Ring Types
The PCM files for the rings must meet the following requirements for proper
playback on Cisco IP Communicator:
• Raw PCM (no header)
• 8000 samples per second
• 8 bits per sample
• uLaw compression
• Maximum ring size—16080 samples
• Minimum ring size—240 samples
• Number of samples in the ring is evenly divisible by 240.
• Ring starts and ends at the zero crossing.
• To create PCM files for custom phone rings, you can use any standard audio
editing packages that support these file format requirements.
