The feature of distinctive ring tones allows certain incoming calls to trigger IP phones to play
distinctive ring tones. The IP phone inspects the INVITE request for an "Alert-Info" header when
receiving an incoming call. If the INVITE request contains an "Alert-Info" header, the IP phone
strips out the URL or keyword parameter and maps it to the appropriate ring tone.

Halo series phones support Alert-Info headers in four formats: Bellcore-drN, ringtone-N (or

keywords in the following order:
