How can I replace ring tones on the IPECS phones

[Chjppie]

Greetings Everyone!
I am looking for a work instruction on how to replace the 'wav' files that are used to select ringing tones on the phone.
I have read that these 'wav' files should not exceed 4 seconds. Does anyone know what the file names are called and which menu to use when uploading them.
It is not clear in our manual what the naming of these files are... and the difference between the ring tone for CO lines and the IPECS terminal phones?

I would also like to know please. Doing this on phontage is a piece of cake but I can't see how to do it for the LIP phones.

=> IPECS Admin & Maintenance
=> S/W Upgrade
=> File upload... => Browse

=> Once it is uploaded, it will appear in the File System View

Note: Four of the tones are initially stored in the phone's permanent memory.

* Ten tones are stored in the system's memory.
* Four of the ten can be downloaded into each phone for use as the 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th ring tone options.
* Delete the file of the same name from the File System.
* Be aware that some cordless headsets detect a ringing at the LiP phone by recognising a normal ring over the speaker. (Eg some handset lifter models) - they may not "see" a non standard ring tone as a ring - and then do not ring the cordless headset
* These TonRing files are replaced with the default files on every system S/W upgrade.
***So Back them up!***
