DISTINCTIVE RING PATTERN DETECTION (DRPD)
Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection
(DRPD)
Distinctive Ring is a telephone company
service which enables the use of a single
telephone line to answer several different
telephone numbers. The number used to call
a phone with this feature is identified by a
distinctive ringing pattern consisting of
various combinations of long and short
ringing tones.
This feature is often used by answering
services that answer telephones for many
different clients and need to know which
number is being called by the ringing pattern
of the phone.
Using the Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection
feature (DRPD), this machine "learns" the
ring pattern you designate to answer the fax.
Unless changed, this ringing pattern will
continue to be recognized and answered as a
fax call, and all other ringing patterns will be
forwarded to the telephone or answering
machine plugged into the EXT. LINE jack.
You can easily suspend or change Distinctive
Ring Pattern Detection at any time. See
Selectable Options in the electronic User
Guide.
With the DRPD feature active, DRPD appears
in the display and the previously set reception
mode is ignored. If you turn DRPD off, the
machine returns to any previously set
reception mode.
