Ring type <rt/>

Ring type is used to define a simple class of ring to be applied based on some credentials that are usually carried within the network protocol. The ring class includes attributes such as call-waiting and ringer index, if appropriate. The ring class can use one of four types of ring that are defined as follows:

 

ring

 

 

Play a specified ring pattern or call waiting indication.

 

visual

 

 

Provide only a visual indication (no audio indication) of incoming call (no

 

 

 

 

ringer needs to be specified).

 

answer

 

 

Provide auto-answer on incoming call.

 

ring-answer

Provide auto answer on incoming call after a ring period.

 

 

 

 

 

Note

 

 

 

 

 

The auto-answer on incoming call is currently only applied if there is no other call in

 

 

 

progress on the phone at the time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In the following table, x is the ring class number. The x index needs to be

 

 

sequential.
