Configuring Call Waiting Tone Cadence
First Published: November 19, 2010
This module describes the Configurable Call Waiting Tone Cadence feature, a Skinny Client Control Protocol (SCCP) telephony control (STC) application (STCAPP) supplementary-service feature supported on an analog Foreign Exchange Station (FXS) voice port. This feature is supported for analog SCCP endpoints that are controlled by the Cisco Unified Communications Manager (Cisco Unified CM) only.
Finding Feature Information in This Module
Your Cisco IOS software release may not support all of the features documented in this module. To reach links to specific feature documentation in this module and to see a list of the releases in which each feature is supported, use the “Feature Information for Configurable Call Waiting Tone Cadence” section.

Restrictions for Configurable Call Waiting Tone Cadence
- This feature is not supported in Cisco Unified CME.
Benefits of Configurable Call Waiting Tone Cadence
The Configurable Call Waiting Tone Cadence feature provides parity with incumbent time-division multiplexing switches.
It also provides backward compatibility, with the single-beep tone as default behavior, as long the existing configuration is not modified.
Information About Configurable Call Waiting Tone Cadence
To enable SCCP supplementary features on analog phones connected to FXS ports on a Cisco voice gateway, you should understand the following concepts:
Configurable Call Waiting Tone Cadence
For analog endpoints in Cisco Unified CM, the Configurable Call Waiting Tone Cadence enables the call waiting tone to be configured as a distinct ringtone played continuously on Cisco IOS SCCP voice gateways until the called party switches from the active call to an incoming call and the new caller has not hung up.
A configurable CLI allows you to choose the ring cadence to use for the call waiting tone.
If it is configured, the ringtone will periodically repeat with configured interval until either the user switches to the new call or the calling party hangs up.
The IOS managed timer is utilized to provide this functionality. A separate timer is used for each port but it is activated only when the call waiting tone is being played.
The value of 0 (the default for compatibility reasons) means that no repetition should occur.
The offhook caller ID is displayed only once if the repeative call waiting tone is configured.
How to Configure Call Waiting Tone Cadence
The “Configuring Call Waiting Tone Cadence” section provides detailed configuration information.

|
Step 1 |
enable
Router> enable |
Enables privileged EXEC mode.
- Enter your password if prompted.
|
Step 2 |
configure terminal
Router# configure terminal |
Enters global configuration mode. |
Step 3 |
stcapp supplementary-services
Router(config)# stcapp supplementary-services |
Enters supplementary-service configuration mode. |
Step 4 |
port port-number
Router(config-stcapp-supp)# port 2/0 |
Specifies analog FXS voice port on which STC application supplementary-service features are to be supported.
- port-number —Voice port number. Range is 2/0 to 2/23.
|
Step 5 |
cptone call-waiting repetition interval seconds
Router(config-stcapp-supp-port)# cptone call-waiting repetition interval 20 |
Defines the interval for tone repetition.
- seconds —Range: 0 to 30. Default: 0.
Note The default ringtone is a single-beep tone. |
Step 6 |
end
Router(config-stcapp-supp-port)# end |
Exits STC application supplementary-service configuration mode and returns to privileged EXEC mode. |
Configuration Examples for Configurable Call Waiting Tone Cadence
This section provides the following configuration example:
Example: Configurable Call Waiting Tone Cadence on a Cisco IOS Gateway
The following is a sample output from the show run command showing how to enable the Configurable Call Waiting Tone Cadence STCAPP supplementary-service feature for analog phones connected to port 2/4 on a Cisco VG224. A similar sample output can also be displayed using the show stcapp device voice-port x/x (or x/x/x) command.
