Correct me if I'm wrong, but unless you pass specific options to the dial command to have it override the ringing then when you dial out, you hear the audio from whatever channel you're dialing on. So the tones you are hearing are from the telco. The ring cadences defined in indications.conf are used when Asterisk is ringing a phone connected to an FXS channel.

So I wonder, is it asterisk itself generating the tones in Dial(), or
does it comefom the psedo zaptel driver that generates it ??

Hmmm..

Well indications.conf does have:

country=uk

But I've definitly just hearing a long-tone tone, long break, long
tone
But the file is set to:

[uk]
description = United Kingdom
ringcadence = 400,200,400,2000
; These are the official tones taken from BT SIN350. The actual tones
; used by BT include some volume differences so sound slightly
different
; from Asterisk-generated ones.
dial = 350+440

Any idea why?

Thanks

Adrian

Hi All,

I've trying to force on the ringtone generated for outbound calls
with
Dial,r but want the tone to be the UK standard.

I use Zaptel, but don't have any E1/T1 cards at all (am completely IP

based). So I don't think zaptel.conf will come into this (am I
right??)
I've tried editing zapel.conf anyway, and changed loadzone and defaultzone to =uk

I've read through zapara.conf, but cant see a ringtone definition in there.

Despite these changes and a restart of zaptel and asterisk via /etc/init.d, I still hear a US ringing sound.

So what did I miss?

Also, is it possible to generate different ringtones based on dialplan? Eg, if I dial out to a UK number, use the UK ring, but for US use a US one ?

In the past I've tried using playtone(), but that stops immediately that the our IP-carrier picks up the call.

Thanks,

Adrian

indications.conf is the file you want to edit :) It defines what ringtones and other indication signals to use.

Sorry I don't, wish I could be of more help. I'll see what I can dig up
