Custom Ring File Formats
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 specifies the name of the custom ring for the associated PCM file that displays on the
Ring Type menu of the phone.
• FileName specifies the name of the PCM file for the custom ring to associate with DisplayName.
The DisplayName and FileName fields must not exceed 25 characters in length.
Note
The PCM files for the rings must meet the following requirements for proper playback on the phones:
• Raw PCM (no header)
• 8000 samples per second
• 8 bits per sample
• Mu-law compression
• Maximum ring size = 16080 samples
• Minimum ring size = 240 samples
• Number of samples in the ring = multiple of 240.
• Ring start and end at zero crossing.
