Usage Guidelines Use the ring frequency command to select a specific ring frequency for an FXS voice port. Use the no form of this command to reset the default value. The ring frequency you select must match the connected equipment. If set incorrectly, the attached phone might not ring or might buzz. In addition, the ring frequency is usually country-dependent. You should take into account the appropriate ring frequency for your area before configuring this command.

This command does not affect ringback, which is the ringing a user hears when placing a remote call.
