Telephone Service for Some Countries
Distinctive Ringing
(For Singapore and Hong Kong)
This MFC feature lets you use the Distinctive Ringing subscriber
service offered by some telephone companies, which allows you to
have several telephone numbers on one phone line. Each phone
number has its own Distinctive Ringing pattern, so you will know
which phone number is ringing. This is one way you can have a
separate phone number for your MFC.
Your MFC has a Distinctive Ringing function, allowing you to
dedicate one phone number just for receiving faxes. You will need to
set Distinctive Ringing to
On
.

number.
