I've been incubating some local changes for Polycom phone configuration and I'm curious if they have a broader appeal and if I should work at tuning them up for possible inclusion. Apologies if even speaking of such is forbidden here (I see lots of external patches being committed without discussion here so I fear I'm on the wrong list for such talk).
In a nutshell I've added to sipxconfig: 1) A way to set the sound effects wav files for ringtones (under Sound Effects in the UI) 2) A way to set the intercom notification tone chord (also under Sound Effects), including silencing it completely 3) An additional speed dial field (per entry in user and user-group speed dials) for a custom ringtone (this is not polycom specific though I did not try to modify any of the other plugins to use the ring field). The upshot is you can configure custom rings by uploading wav files as 'unmanaged files' then pointing at them in the UI. You can create speed dial entries that use the custom rings so you get a custom ring for a specific caller. My motivation was to get a nice 'doorbell' sound when someone calls in from a doorphone w/o having to manually set up 10 phones or hack the .vm templates (and deal with the changes being reverted on every RPM upgrade). I'm also working now on a way to add an extra configuration file to the top level polycom config file list (on a per phone or phone group basis) so one can write raw polycom config, upload it as an unmanaged file and use the UI to point a phone or group at it. I realize this takes some pressure off updating the plugin templates for new features and that may not be desirable (or is it?). #1 and #2 are pedestrian changes to the polycom plugin (XML, properties, and template changes). #3 involved changes to the DB schema and java classes for user and group speed dials. -Eric Varsanyi _______________________________________________ sipx-dev mailing list [email protected] List Archive: http://list.sipfoundry.org/archive/sipx-dev Unsubscribe: http://list.sipfoundry.org/mailman/listinfo/sipx-dev sipXecs IP PBX -- http://www.sipfoundry.org/
