DRPD (Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection) MODE - Distinctive Ring
is a telephone company service which enables a user to use a single
telephone line to answer several different telephone numbers. The
particular number someone uses to call you is identified by different
ringing patterns, which consist of various combinations of long and
short ringing sounds. This feature is often used by answering services
who answer telephones for many different clients. They need to know
which number someone is calling on to properly answer the phone.
Using the Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection feature, your fax machine
can "learn" the ring pattern you designate to be answered as a fax.
Unless you change it, this ringing pattern will continue to be recognized
and answered as a fax call. All other ringing patterns will be forwarded
to the extension telephone or answering machine plugged into the EXT.
LINE jack.
Note: Before using the Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection option,
Distinctive Ring service must be installed on your telephone line by the
telephone company. To set up Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection, you will
need another telephone line at your location, or someone available to dial
your FAX number from outside.
