RingList.xml File Format Requirements
The RingList.xml file defines an XML object that contains a list of phone ring
types. This file can include up to 50 ring types. Each ring type contains a pointer
to the PCM file that is used for that ring type and the text that will appear on the
Ring Type menu on a Cisco Unified IP Phone for that ring. The C:\
Program Files\Cisco\TFTPPath directory of the Cisco TFTP server for each
Cisco Unified CallManager contains this file.
The CiscoIPPhoneRingList XML object uses the following simple tag set to
describe the information:
<CiscoIPPhoneRingList>
<Ring>
<DisplayName/>
<FileName/>
</Ring>
</CiscoIPPhoneRingList>
The following characteristics apply to the definition names. You must include the
required DisplayName and FileName for each phone ring type.
• DisplayName defines the name of the custom ring for the associated PCM file
that will display on the Ring Type menu of the Cisco Unified IP Phone.
• FileName specifies the name of the PCM file for the custom ring to associate
with DisplayName.
Note The DisplayName and FileName fields must not exceed 25 characters.
This example shows a RingList.xml file that defines two phone ring types:
<CiscoIPPhoneRingList>
<Ring>
<DisplayName>Analog Synth 1</DisplayName>
<FileName>Analog1.raw</FileName>
</Ring>
<Ring>
<DisplayName>Analog Synth 2</DisplayName>
<FileName>Analog2.raw</FileName>
</Ring>
</CiscoIPPhoneRingList>
