Provisioning Using Call Progress Tones and Ringing The Call Progress Tones Configuration File contains the definitions of the call progress tones and characteristics of Ringing signal to be detected/generated by the MP-1xx. Users can use either MP-1xx, one of the configuration files supplied by AudioCodes, or construct their own file. The Call Progress Tones Configuration File used by the MP-1xx is a binary file (with the extension dat).
MP-1xx/H.323 Using this configuration file, the User can create up to 16 different call progress tones using up to 15 different frequencies (in the range of 300 Hz to 2000 Hz). Each one of the call progress tones is specified by the following two parameters: the tone frequency (either single or dual frequencies are supported) and the tone cadence. This is specified by 2 sets of ON/OFF periods, but Users can discard the use of the first On/Off cycle by setting the relevant parameters to zero.
