cant get distinctive rings to work again

<< < (2/2)

Jackson:
I guess you got i solved. I had switched my ring patterns as by default SP1 had a single ring and SP2 a double.

Under Ring profile:

Produces a single (normal ring)

RingName: Bellcore-dr1
RingPattern: 60;(2+4)


This value will produce a double ring.

RingName: Bellcore-dr1
RingPattern: 60;(.4+.2,.4+2)

Great topic !!
It brings to mind some problems which I've been wondering how to solve as I do use 2 different incoming numbers with my Obi.

There are 2 problems with the whole Obi ring settings thing as I see it=>

1. Using the default ring settings with a modern phone (as opposed to a phone with a real bell...) can become utterly useless without a bell-type, normal, mechanical response=> so as a result the default ring settings DO NOT make my phone sound any different for SP1 vs. SP2, and;

2. There is no way to know what all those different ring patterns will sound like except to edit the settings over & over with each test making the Obi reset.

My Obi110 has totally unaltered, default ring settings.
The 'ringer' in my phone is a sort of electronic gurgle sound...no even close to a ring sound.

The settings my Obi has currently look exactly the same as the ones cited here:

Query:
Can anyone here propose a better way to deal with getting distinctive rings tested & working better than what I've tried to describe, please ??
(Perhaps a really simple explanation of how to interpret all the numbers and such in the ring pattern settings ??)

Thanks for any helpful replies.

The pattern is:
(Ring Seconds+Silence Seconds)

60;(2+4)
Ring 2.0 seconds, Silence 4.0 seconds Repeat

60;(.4+.2,.4+2)
Ring 0.4, Silence 0.2, Ring 0.4, Silence 2.0 Repeat

See page 163:

I have an electronic ringer on my phones and the ring patterns work for them.

Try something like:
60;(3+4)
and
60;(1+2)

Thanks Azrobert !!!
I did find info at pages 169-170 in the manual - I did look for it - but it is not very helpful the way it is written and did not make as much sense to me as your nice, simple explanation does.

Now I feel better about messing around with those settings and will try making some changes.

Thanks, and Best Wishes.
