scopserv-telephony25-6.9.3.7.20200305
.wav files encoded in PCM Uncompressed 16 bit, 8K sampling, Mono
Using free software such as: https://www.nch.com.au/switch/index.html

SIP Alert (Auto Answer/Distinctive Ring)
Change the Device type to Custom (ALERT_INFO) using the drop list selector
For the desired Ring Tone section you must enter the path to the ScopTEL server’s /tftpboot/ web path. Doing so will replace the default dial plan with a customization for any extension.
The text format must match this syntax: Alert-Info: http://<Server IP>:<GUI Listen Port>/tftpboot/<filename.wav>/info=<filename>\;x-line-id=0 (omit the <> these are used to indicate variables)
As in this working example where the uploaded file name in /tftpboot/ is caramba.wav Alert-Info: http://192.168.0.1:5555/tftpboot/caramba.wav/info=caramba/;x-line-id=0
Click Save when done
Commit the Telephony changes

Incoming Lines|Destination|Extension(s)|Distinctive Ring (SIP Device)

You can enable Custom (ALERT_INFO) in the drop list if an Incoming Line’s Destination is Extension(s)

Commit the Telephony changes




Automatic Provisioning System

You may set the Internal Ringer tab options to a Template or Override a Template per MAC address.
In  this example a Yealink MAC is edited and the Override template settings?: [x] option is checked else the MAC will defer to the assigned APS Template.
The Ringtone URL must point to the location of the required file. NOTE: the first time the custom path is executed the phone will download the file before it can be played to the user.
The Ringer Text must match the Text defined in the Extension’s Phone Options
The Ringer File must use the Custom drop list selector and the Custom File name text must also match the Extension’s Phone Options
Click Save when done
Commit the APS changes and reboot or resync the phone to download the new configuration
