What I'd really like is octo line support on teh 5xx phones  :(

So I think I am liking your 2nd silent wav ringer file...but I've never created a custom ringtone and uploaded to the UC before.  Where can I find instructions on doing so- is it very complicated or time consuming?

Would the screen still pop up the incoming caller's caller id? Id so, we don't mind lossing the red light lamp on an incoming call to that line.

and the personal extension would remain on its own ringer uneffected by the 2nd line's special ringer, correct ?

For the Silent Ringer, do this:

1) Move these files (using TFTP, for example) to your UC500 flash, specifically the "flash:/ringtones/" directory

RingList.xml

Silent.raw

RingList.xml already exists on your flash, so you will have to replace it.

2) Enter this command in IOS config mode:

tftp-server flash:/ringtones/Silent.raw alias Silent.raw

3) Restart your IP phone.

4) Go to "Settings" on your phone (button with the checkmark)

5) Select User Preferences >> Rings >> Default Ring

6) Pick "Silent" from the list. This will now be the default ringtone.

If you want to assign it to a line or extension in particular, then you will have to replace the file "DistinctiveRingList.xml" under the same directory. Here is one that has the Silent ringtone added to the list:

DistinctiveRingList.xml

Let me know how it goes.

To answer your other questions:

1) The file I sent you just eliminates sound. Lamp and Caller ID still show up.

2) The ringers are independent per line.

Thanks,

Marcos

I just put each ephone-dn on it's own button as silent since they only have 3 dn's of the Main line extension.

But having the silent ring file could be useful in the future elsewhere- thank you !
