Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection (DRPD)
Feature
Some telephone companies offer a distinctive ring pattern (DRP) service
whereby they assign two or more telephone numbers with distinctive
ring patterns to a single telephone line. If your telephone company offers
such a service, you can have both a fax number(s) and a telephone
number(s) for your machine using only one telephone line.
Your machine will automatically detect incoming calls. Based on the
distinctive ring pattern, the machine knows if the call is from a fax
machine trying to send a document or from a telephone trying to make a
voice call.
This feature is called Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection (DRPD).
Use the information in this section to set up the machine for use with a
DRP service.
For more details on the DRP service, contact your local telephone
company. (Your telephone company may have a different name for this
service. Also, this service may not be offered in all areas.)
Types of Ring Patterns
Your telephone company will assign a distinctive ring pattern to each
number when you order the DRP service.
The setting you make with the following procedure must match the
setting assigned by the telephone company.
