INDIVIDUAL CONTACT RING TONE SUPPORT
Individual contact ring tones are supported by the 6800 series SIP phones. Individual contact
ring tones can be used during incoming calls to help users identify the party calling. Users are
now able to select contact-specific ring tones (from the phone’s 15 preloaded as well as the 8
custom ring tones) for respective contacts in their local directory, which will be played back
when a call from the respective contact is incoming.
Individual contact ring tone support is dependent on the phone’s directory lookup functionality.
During an incoming call, the local directory is examined against the phone number of the
incoming call. If a match is found and the contact has an associated contact ring tone, the
contact ring tone is played. If a match is not found or if a contact ringtone is not assigned, the
standard ring tone for the line being used to field the incoming call is played.
As individual contact ring tone support is applicable to the local directory, users that would like
to apply a ring tone for a contact in an external directory source (e.g. CSV-based directories,
Exchange Contacts, LDAP, and Xsi directories) or Received Callers List/Outgoing Redial List
must first copy the desired contact to the local directory. Users can also manually create a local
directory contact or edit an existing local directory contact to assign an individual contact ring
tone. For details on how to create a new local directory contact, edit an existing local directory
