Creating the Phone-Specific Configuration File
To create a phone-specific configuration file, two new configuration parameters,
Wa ve Ri ng er1 and Wav eRin ger2 can be inserted into a phone-specific configuration file.
These parameters identify the name and location of the custom ring tones that the IP
phone will download (via FTP) into the phone's RAM at boot time.
The name of the phone-specific configuration file should be as follows:
shore_aabbccddeeff.txt
where "aabbccddeeff" is the MAC address.

For example, to load one of the custom ring tones, you could replace L/r14 (i.e. Ring 4
External) and L/r15 (i.e. Ring 4 Internal) with the name and location of the file
containing the new custom ring tone.
Also note that it is possible to replace internal and external ring tones in separate sets
(e.g. Ring 2 external and Ring 4 internal), but only one set of ring tones can be active at
a time so activating either set of ring tones will only activate only one of the custom
rings tones at a time.
1. To load the same custom ring tone onto several IP phones at the same time, do not use
the MAC address in the name of the file. Instead, use the custom configuration file for
the phone type being deployed (e.g. S6 for an IP560). For example, the configuration file
name for an IP560 phone would be: S6custom.txt

WaveRinger1
WaveRinger2
Up to 64 ASCII Characters Used to assign one Wave File to any of the ring
tones defined in Table 2. The first value is the ring
tone, and the second value is the location of the
file on the FTP server.
Examples:
WaveRinger1 L/rg 192.168.0.20/audio/dave.wav
WaveRinger2 L/r1 192.168.0.20/audio/dave.wav
