Polycom File

Set the Polycom phone to ring differently for internal calls.

In sip.cfg you need to change the following lines.

sip.cfg

<ringType se.rt.enabled="1" se.rt.modification.enabled="1">

<INTERNAL se.rt.5.name="Internal" se.rt.5.type="ring" se.rt.5.ringer="9" se.rt.5.callWait="6" se.rt.5.mod="1"/>

<alertInfo voIpProt.SIP.alertInfo.1.value="Internal" voIpProt.SIP.alertInfo.1.class="5">
