Tone definitions

Tone definitions

It is possible through the Toolpack Web Portal to specify the parameters of ringing, busy, congestion (or fast busy) and warning call progress tones. These settings are available in the Profiles -> Tone Profile Params section of the Web Portal.

The tones are described using a programmable string of characters as defined in the H.248 Dynamic Tone Definition Package. To learn more about tone description strings, see the section related to this subject.

Examples of Call Progress tones

The following table contains a few call progress tone definition strings that can be used to replace the default ones in the Toolpack Web Portal.

Playing tones

To learn how to play these tones using the Call Leg API, refer to the Playing and Collecting Tones section. Here are the tone strings that must be passed to the AddToneString() function in order to play the call progress tones discussed in this article:

• Ring: cg/rt
• Busy: cg/bt
• Congestion: cg/ct
• Warning: cg/wt

Available tones

Below is a comprehensive list of all the tone strings that can be passed to the AddToneString() function.
