How do I configure Asterisk™ and my IP Phone to use Alert-Info to trigger distinctive ring tones?

The specified IP phones support Alert-Info mapping to three custom ring tone files.  For example, if you configure the distinctive ringing for custom ring tone 1 to “Family” (instead of a real user ID), that ring tone will be played if the phone receives an INVITE with an Alert-Info header in the following format:

Alert-Info: <http://www.example.com>;info=Family

On your IP phone, navigate to the Advanced Settings web configuration page and find the Distinctive Ring Tone section.  For each custom ring tone, enter the Alert-Info string (can be digits or text) to trigger the ring tone.  For example, you may enter “Family”.

On the Asterisk side, modify your extensions.conf file to add an Alert-Info header before dialing your IP phone.  For example, in Asterisk version 1.2:

exten => 853,1,Set(_ALERT_INFO=<http://127.0.0.1>\;info=Family)

exten => 853,2,Dial(SIP/853)

Or for Asterisk version 1.4:

exten => 853,1,SIPAddHeader(Alert-Info: <http://127.0.0.1>\;info=Family)

exten => 853,2,Dial(SIP/853)
