DRPD
The recommendations above for connecting additional
devices still apply if using Distinctive Ring Pattern
Detection (DRPD). The A1500 will only pick up calls
made to the telephone number that has the Ring
Pattern that it has learned. DRPD setup instructions
may be found in the “Receiving Automatically in
DRPD Mode” section of the Faxing chapter.
Connecting and Configuring Equipment
Deciding how to connect and configure equipment
depends on the number of lines available and the
intended usage. The main functions are:
• Fax
• Audio (including answering machines and voice
messaging systems)
• Internet (includes data or bulletin board link)
If you only have a single line, then only one of these
functions can be active at any one time.
If you have more than one line, then it may be
advantageous to dedicate a line to a specific function.
For example, with two telephone lines you can fax and
browse the Internet at the same time.
Devices and Connections
This section describes four ways to connect the A1500
to a single telephone line with other equipment.
Additional equipment connected to other lines is not
