How DRPD Responds to Calls
When there is an incoming call, the MultiPASS checks the incoming ring pattern and
determines the type of pattern being received. The MultiPASS may require up to 10
seconds to determine the pattern type. During this time, any telephone device
connected to the MultiPASS reacts according to how you registered the setting.

Communicating Using DRPD
Using the MultiPASS with a DRP service is almost the same as using it with a normal
telephone line.
When you turn on DRPD, the receive mode defaults to
DRPD
.
When someone calls using the number assigned for telephone communication, the
MultiPASS rings in the pattern you registered for voice calls. When you hear this pattern,
simply pick up the handset of the telephone or extension phone connected to the
MultiPASS and talk. If you do not pick up the handset, the MultiPASS continues to ring
until the other party hangs up.
When someone sends a fax using the number assigned for fax communication, the
MultiPASS receives the fax automatically.
