Call Progress Tones File

The Call Progress Tones (CPT) and Distinctive Ringing auxiliary file used by the device is a
binary file (with file extension dat). This file is comprised of two sections. The first section
contains the definitions of the Call Progress Tones (levels and frequencies) that are
detected / generated by the device. The second section contains the characteristics of the
distinctive ringing signals that are generated by the device (refer to "Distinctive Ringing" on
page 370).
You can either use one of the supplied device auxiliary (dat) files or create your own file. To
create your own auxiliary file, it's recommended to modify the supplied usa_tone.ini file (in
any standard text editor) to suit your specific requirements, and to convert the modified ini
file into binary format using the TrunkPack Downloadable Conversion Utility. For the
description of the procedure on how to convert CPT ini file into a binary dat file, refer to the
Product Reference Manual.
Note:
You can create up to 32 different Call Progress Tones, each with frequency and format
attributes. The frequency attribute can be single or dual-frequency (in the range of 300 to
1980 Hz), or an Amplitude Modulated (AM). In total, up to 64 different frequencies are
supported. Only eight AM tones, in the range of 1 to 128 kHz, can be configured (the
detection range is limited to 1 to 50 kHz). Note that when a tone is composed of a single
frequency, the second frequency field must be set to zero.
The format attribute can be one of the following:
Continuous: (e.g., dial tone) a steady non-interrupted sound. Only the 'First Signal On
time' should be specified. All other on and off periods must be set to zero. In this case,
the parameter specifies the detection period. For example, if it equals 300, the tone is
detected after 3 seconds (300 x 10 msec). The minimum detection time is 100 msec.
Version 5.8
Only the dat file can be loaded to the device.
