My Little Howto for Polycom IP500 Ringtones

First I scoured the internet for as many cool ringtones I could think of
that my users would get a kick out of and play with on their lunch-hours.

Note that I'm not sure of copyright on all of these, so use them at your
own risk.

Ringtone files must match the following criteria:
- Bit Rate 64kbps
- Audio Sample Size 8bit
- Channels 1 (mono)
- Audio Sample Rate 8 kHz
- Audio Format CCIT u-Law
- Less than 300k in size

To find all this information out in windows, select the file and right click, go to
properties, then view the general properties for the file size, and the summary
for the audio information.

The audio files can be converted using a combination of Audacity and Windows Sound Recorder

I went into the sip.cfg on my ftp server, and found the following lines

sampled_audio saf.1="SoundPointIPWelcome.wav" saf.2=""
saf.3="" saf.4="" saf.5=""
saf.6="" saf.7="" saf.8=""
saf.9="" saf.10="" saf.11=""
saf.12="" saf.13="" saf.14=""
saf.15="" saf.16="" saf.17=""
saf.18="" saf.19="" saf.20=""
saf.21="" saf.22="" saf.23="" saf.24=""

and changed them to add my ringtone selection.

sampled_audio saf.1="SoundPointIPWelcome.wav" saf.2="macgyver_theme_song.wav" saf.3="dr_who_theme.wav" saf.4="twilight_zone_short.wav" saf.5="inspector_gadget_theme.wav" saf.6="the_ateam_theme.wav" saf.7="benny_hill_theme.wav" saf.8="james_bond_theme.wav" saf.9="mission_impossible_theme.wav" saf.10="airwolf_theme.wav" saf.11="night_court_theme.wav"
saf.12="knight_rider_theme.wav" saf.13="twilight_zone_full.wav" saf.14="" saf.15="" saf.16="" saf.17="" saf.18="" saf.19="" saf.20="" saf.21="" saf.22="" saf.23="" saf.24=""

then i copied all the wav files to the home ftp directory, and
made sure they were owned by the polycom user

# mv /tmp/*.wav /home/ip500
# chown ip500:users /home/ip500/*.wav

Reboot your phone and you should see them in your list of ringtones!
