The first 1-2 rings you hear may be from telco before the call even hits the gateway/router. You can do a 'show voice call summary' repeatedly while placing the call to see if you see activity on the port in question during the first 2 rings. The first ring you hear on a analog line is meant to give the caller a warm-fuzzy feeling the call is going through. <br><br>Maybe want to look at the cadance settings on the voice port, perhaps run a THL tone sweep to see what the best-match setting is for the lines and play with that to see what may work best.<br><br><span><a target="_blank"

After that call is passed through to CCM/CME/whatever and that may be modifying the progress indicators, tones, etc and thats why you hear
a difference. I don't know the specific details on this part of the puzzle but I'm sure someone else will chime in. <br><br>What does the call connect to, and how are the dial-peers and voice port configured?<br><div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br><div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">----- Original Message ----<br>From: Todd Franklin <toddnh65@gmail.com><br>To: cisco-voip@puck.nether.net<br>Sent: Friday, July

Caller ID.<br><br>When I call one of the POTS lines, the first ring sounds fine. The beginning of the 2nd ring sounds fine, but the 2nd half of the 2nd ring changes sound considerably. Why is this? (The 2nd half of the 2nd ring, and 3rd ring after that, sound much less "quality" than the first
1.5 rings.) Do I need to change a setting somewhere??<br><br>Thanks!<br><div>_______________________________________________<br>cisco-voip mailing list<br>cisco-voip@puck.nether.net<br><a id="bodyLinks" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-voip">https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-voip</a><br></div></div><br></div></div><div>_______________________________________________<br>cisco-voip mailing list<br>cisco-voip@puck.nether.net<br><a target="_blank" href="https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-voip">https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-voip</a><br></div></div><br></div></div></body></html>
