Examples of use

The action can be used to change the ringtone when dialing an IP phone. Although most IP phones offer the possibility to choose a custom ringtone, you can still override the default ringtone by using this action. The phone specific ringtone will then not be used anymore.

To implement an intercom, you can use the action SetRingtone to force auto answer on the phone, followed by PageDevices: All called phones will pick up automatically on speaker and will broadcast whatever you say.
