When you are working with H323 configurations, you can experience teh following ringtones issues , let’s see these issues and how to fix it quickly:
- No Ringback tone on an IP Phone when calling a destination in the PSTN : This comes from a mistmatch between the Call Manager and the PSTN. It can be fixed with the following command progress_ind alert enable 8 under the POTS dial-peer.
- No Ringback tone on a phone in the PSTN when calling an IP Phone: The problem is more similar with the previous one but it differs because it is coming from the other side as this time , the setup message received from the PSTN did not include a progress indicator (PI=0). Indeed, the gateway assumes the network is an ISDN end-to-end network so normally the tone must be handled by the PSTN but it is not an end-to-end call , this is why you have to update again the progress-indicator with the command progress_ind setup enable 3 which is setting the tone in-band.
- No Ringback tone from the PSTN Phone which is forwarded from an IP Phone to another IP Phone : in this case, the issue is caused by the fact that the voice gateway is tearing down logical channel when you are transferring the call , so Audio is not sent. To fix this , you need then to change a parameter under the Call Manager setting ToSendH225UserInfoMsg and put it to True
