1.The user can select the ring type for each line. This option has the lowest priority.

2.The ring type for specific callers can be assigned in the contact directory. For more information, refer to Distinctive Incoming Call Treatment, the previous section. This option has a higher priority than option 1 and a lower priority than option 3.

3.The voIpProt.SIP.alertInfo.x.value and voIpProt.SIP.alertInfo.x.class fields can be used to map calls to specific ring types. This option has the highest priority.
