Creating 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 Ringlist.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 TFTP” chapter in Cisco
Unified Communications Manager System Guide
and the “Software Upgrades”
chapter in Cisco Unified Communications Operating Systems Administration
Guide.

The following sections describe how you can customize the phone rings that are
available at your site by creating PCM files and editing the Ringlist.xml file:

Ringlist.xml File Format Requirements, page 6-3
