[cisco-voip] Change Ringtones on Phones

[Matthew Saskin]

The fastest way to get a copy of the ringlist.xml file off of your 
server is via tftp.  From a windows command line
tftp CMNAME get ringlist.xml

To upload new ringtones (and your updated ringlist.xml) you want to use 
the TFTP file manager under platform administration.  To replace 
ringlist.xml it must be deleted from the system first.  UCM command line 
command is something like 'file delete tftp/ringlist.xml', I forget off 
the top of my head.

To my understanding, the phones cache the latest ringtone selection so 
there's no good way to force them to select a new tone - I believe if 
you were to replace the *.raw file the phones are using with a new 
ringtone that keeps the same file name, the phones should re-download 
that when they restart.  I think I recall seeing TFTP requests for the 
currently selected tone when a phone boots.  Failing that, using XML 
pushes to force keypresses could do it to.

Remember any TFTP changes you make (ringlist.xml, new *.raw files, etc.) 
need to be manually made on all servers in the cluster running the TFTP 
service otherwise you run the risk of some phones not being able to get 
the new data depending on which TFTP server they use.
