Announcements are customized by provisioning announcement packages using Media Profile on the
. An announcement package supports provisioning of up to 16 announcement names to segment ID mapping. For more information on configuring Media Profiles, see Media Profile - CLI or Profile Management - Media Profiles.When using an external PSX, the PSX returns the tones/announcement profile and announcement or tone to be played in policy/trigger response. The
plays out the specified announcement/tone using the specified profile.Announcement files are stored in the directory: /var/log/sonus/evlog/announcements

When the SBC is configured to use an external PSX, there may be instances when hunt groups, or Automatic Call Distribution (ACD) groups, do not always operate as expected when the Tone and Announcement profile is used. A call can remain on hold even after answering the call. PSX 09.02.01R000 and later can be configured using the parameters End To End Ack and No CDR Change In End To End Ack to resolve this. End To End Ack must be enabled before enabling No CDR Change In End To End Ack flag. See PSX Manager User Guide for configuration details. |
Tone Profile
The
supports a default tone package with a package ID of “1”. The default package contains the following default tone profile definitions.- defBusy
- defCallWaiting1
- defCallWaiting2
- defCallWaiting3
- defCallWaiting4
- defCpeAlerting
- defDial
- defReorder
- defRing
- defSit1
- defSit2
- defSit3
- fccBusy
- fccDial
- fccRingback
Tones are customized by provisioning tone packages and tone profiles. The tone profile feature supports tone generation methods as described in Table 1.

Local Ring Back Tones (LRBT)
The
is configurable to support Local Ring Back Tones as described below.The
generates LRBT in the following conditions:- Start LRBT upon receipt of 180 without SDP, the .
- Halt LRBT upon receipt of any18x with SDP or any final response.
- Stop LRBT without waiting for media packet arrival.
The
supports the following dynamic LRBT functionality related to RFC 3960:- Do not generate local ringing unless a 180 (ringing) response is received.
- Generate local ringing if a 180 (ringing) is received but no incoming packets are present.
- If a 180 (ringing) is received and incoming packets are present, play incoming packets but do not generate local ringing.
When configured to operate with an external PSX, local ring back tones are provisioned on the PSX on a per-trunk group basis. The PSX returns this information in a policy response.
