Disable second incoming call tone on Polycom CX600

Question
-
When on a call and you receive a second incoming call, Polycom phones emit a beep every so many seconds. This beep is loud enough to be disruptive to a phone conversation. I anyone aware of a way to disable the call-waiting tone?
We already have it disabled on the desktop, but it doesn't help the CX600 phones.

There is no policy to turn this off, this is how lync is.
Below is a 3rd party app to achieve this:

Hi,Tboggs13,
Yes you can disable the second incoming call sound on Lync desktop client,but unfortunately I haven't found it can be disabled on Lync phone edition by default after testing on my side and doing some research.
Look forward some other workarounds or comments on this issue.

By saying "this is how Lync is", you mean this is how the Lync Phone Edition client is, correct? We can disable the audible feedback on the desktop client.
The software you recommend does not appear to be the solution. I still want everyone to be able to receive multiple calls simultaneously, I just don't want it to ring in their handset while they are talking to someone. It interrupts the conversation. The visual feedback on the phone is adequate.

yes, "this is how it is" was referring to the LPE.

Below worked for me, to make it ringing.
<call.callWaiting>
<call.callWaiting.enable="1" call.callWaiting.ring="ring" />
</call.callWaiting>
Below config should suppress the beep tone
<call.callWaiting>
<call.callWaiting.enable="1" call.callWaiting.ring="silent" />
</call.callWaiting>

That is reffering to a Polycom VVX phone, not a CX600
VVX phones are 3PIP phones that do not run Lync Phone Edition.
The CX600 is made by Polycom, but the firmware is written by Microsoft and doesn't accept FTP provisioning.
I'm not aware of any way to disable the caller waiting on LPE devices.
