Custom Phone Rings
The Cisco Unified IP Phone ships with two default ring types that are implemented in hardware: Chirp1 and
Chirp2. Cisco Unified Communications Manager 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 DistinctiveRinglist.xml) that describes the ring list options that are available at your site, exist in
the TFTP directory on each Cisco Unified Communications Manager server.
For more information, see the Cisco Unified Communications Manager System Guide, “Cisco TFTP” chapter,
and the Cisco Unified Communications Operating System Administration Guide, “Software Upgrades” chapter.
The following sections describe how you can customize the phone rings that are available at your site by
creating PCM files and editing the DistinctiveRinglist.xml file.
Set Up Custom Phone Ring
To create custom phone rings for the Cisco Unified IP Phone, perform these steps:
Procedure
Step 1
Create a PCM file for each custom ring (one ring per file). Ensure the PCM files comply with the format
guidelines that are listed in Custom Ring File Formats, on page 80.
Upload the new PCM files that you created to the Cisco TFTP server for each Cisco Unified Communications
Manager in your cluster. For more information, see the Cisco Unified Communications Operating System
Administration Guide, “Software Upgrades” chapter.
