Synthesized Call Progress Tones

In order to emulate the familiar and efficient audible call progress feedback generated by the PSTN and traditional PBX equipment, call progress tones are synthesized during the life cycle of a call. These call progress tones are easily configurable for compatibility with worldwide telephony standards or local preferences.

Configuration changes can performed centrally at the boot server:
