Distinctive Ringing
This machine feature lets you use the Distinctive Ringing subscriber service offered by Telstra’s
FaxStream
®
Duet, which allows you to have at least two separate telephone numbers on the one
phone line. Each phone number has its own Distinctive Ringing pattern, so you 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.
