5-10 Receiving Faxes Chapter 5
How DRPD Responds to Calls
When there is an incoming call, the MultiPASS checks the incoming
ring pattern and determines the type of pattern being received. The
MultiPASS may require up to 10 seconds to determine the pattern type.
During this time, any telephone device connected to the MultiPASS will
not ring. After the pattern is detected, the MultiPASS reacts according to
how you registered the setting.

Communicating Using the Distinctive Ring Pattern
Detection (DRPD) Feature
Using the MultiPASS with a DRP service is almost the same
as using it with a normal telephone line.
When you turn on DRPD, the Receive Mode defaults to Fax/Tel Mode.
(You cannot change this Receive Mode.)
When someone calls using the number assigned for telephone
communication, the MultiPASS rings in the pattern you registered
for telephone calls. When you hear this pattern, simply pick up the
telephone connected to the MultiPASS and talk. If you do not pick up
the telephone, the MultiPASS continues to ring until the other party
hangs up.
When someone sends a fax using the number assigned for fax
communication, the MultiPASS does not ring. It receives the
document automatically.
