OneLine + distinctive ring detection
Many phone companies now offer their customers a special service which makes it pos -
sible for one phone line to do the work of two.
W ith this service, you physically still have one phone line, but, electronically, you have
two phone numbers. Your phone recognizes these different numbers and rings dif fer-
ently for each one.
For example, this makes it easy for you to have both a business number and a home
number on one phone line, so you can answer one with Jane Doe Consulting, and the
other with Hello. This works because you can tell the dif ference between the distinc-
tive patterns of the two rings.
Y our fax machine is also smart enough to tell the difference between two different num -
bers that are ringing it. All you have to do is set up your machine for the OneLine +
distinctive ring detection (
DRD
) feature.
In order to use OneLine +
DRD
,your phone company must set up your distinctive ring
service. When it does, it will assign a ring p attern. For example, the standard telephone
ring is 2 seconds on (ringing) and 4 seconds of f (silent), af ter which it repeat s itself.
Y our fax has eight possible distinctive ring p atterns for use with OneLine +
DRD
. One of
them should work with your phone company s
DRD
service. This chart list s the p atterns:
Pattern One complete ring pattern (seconds)
