Custom Ringtone Support
Implemented in Release 4.0.0, the 6800i series IP phones now support up to eight cus-
tom ringtones. Administrators (and if enabled, users) can install ringtones on the
phone using the configuration files or the Web UI. Users can then simply select a ring-
tone on the phone or through the Web UI to use as their incoming call ringtone.
Administrators can install local WAV files using the phone’s Web UI under the Basic Set-
tings > Custom Ringtones menu or install WAV files located on an FTP, TFTP, HTTP, or
HTTPS server by defining their location and filename in the respective configuration
file using the “custom ringtone N” parameter (where N = 1 to 8). For example, if the
following parameters are added to the aastra.cfg, <model>.cfg, or <mac>.cfg,
custom ringtone 1: ftp://192.168.0.50/beep.wav
custom ringtone 2: ftp://192.168.0.50/classic.wav
the phone will download both WAV files from the FTP server and store beep.wav in
position 1 and classic.wav in position 2 on the phone.
Notes:
• Ringtones must be in .wav format. The IP phones support the following WAV file
specifications:
– G.711 μ-law and a-law Codec
– 20 ms packet size
– Mono 8KHz
• Individual WAV files cannot exceed 1 MB in size (the total combined size of the
eight WAV files cannot exceed 8 MB).
• Filenames must contain only ASCII characters.
Notes:
• If the filename of a WAV file defined using the “custom ringtone N” parameter
matches the filename of an already installed ringtone, the phone will compare
hashes and only install if the hashes differ.
• Ringtones can be deleted from the phone by removing the respective “custom
ringtone N” parameter from the configuration file or by deleting through the
Web UI.
• All custom ringtones will be deleted from the phone if a factory default is exe-
cuted.
