Setting up telephone services
Your MFC supports the Distinctive Ring and Caller ID subscriber
telephone services that some telephone companies offer.
Distinctive Ring
Brother uses the term ‘Distinctive Ring’ but different telephone
companies have other names for this service such as SmartRing,
RingMaster, Teen-Ring, Indent-a-Call or Indent-a-Ring.
What does your telephone company’s ‘Distinctive Ring’ do?
Your telephone company’s Distinctive Ring service allows you to
have more than one number on the same phone line. If you need
more than one phone number, it is cheaper than paying for an
extra line. Each phone number has its own distinctive ring pattern,
so you will know which phone number is ringing. This is one way you
can have a separate phone number for your MFC.
