23 TONE CONFIGURATION
This chapter gives an overview of SmartWare Release 2.00 call-progress-tone profiles and tone-set
profiles and describes the tasks involved in their configuration. For detailed information on syntax
and usage guidelines for the commands listed in the Configuration Tasks, refer to Chapter 12,
“Profile Tone Set Mode” in the SmartWare
Command Reference Guide.

23.1 Introduction
In-band tones keep the user informed about the state of his call or additional services such as call-
waiting, hold etc. The tones informing about the call state are refered to as “call-progress-tones”.
Other tones can be related to any “event” that can occur during a call, for example a call waiting
indication etc.
In most cases these in-band tones are provided by the public network or the local PBX and are
relayed transparently by the SmartNode. Under specific conditions however the SmartNode must
provide some of these tones. The conditions are detailed later on. This chapter introduces the tones
that can be generated by the SmartNode and how they can be configured to comply with end-user
habits or country specific requirements. In SmartWare 2.00 the following in-band tones can be
configured.
Event Type
Tone Name
Description
call progress tone
dialtone
Tone you hear when you lift the handset and the
network is ready to accept the dialed digits of the
called party number.
call progress tone
alertingtone
Tone you hear when the called party number is
complete and the remote extension is ringing.
call progress tone
busytone
Tone you hear when the remote extension is busy.
Fifteen tones can be configured with their frequency and duration characteristics. The configuration
for each tone is stored in so called “call-progress-tone profile”.
A set of these tones is then mapped to their respective call state in a so-called “tone-set profile”. A
tone-set profile collects typically all the required tones for one country.
The tone-set profile is used by the CS context and applies to all PSTN interfaces on the CS context.
If it is required to have different tones for individual PSTN interfaces, the tone-set profile is used
directly by the PSTN interface. Doing so will override the configuration in the CS context.

context and CS interfaces.
