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.
