Call Progress Tones
What's this?
Call Progress Tones (CPT) are audible tones sent from switching systems such as PSTN or PBX to calling parties
to show the status of phone calls, like dial tone, error tone, ringing error in number dialed, ringing called party, busy
line, etc.
Each CPT has a distinctive tone frequency and cadence assigned to it, for which some standards have been
established by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU).
On the basis of specific frequency, modulating frequency and cadence, the CPTs generated by ETERNITY NE are
