Distinctive Ring Detection (DRD)
Many phone companies now offer their customers a special service which makes it
possible for one phone line to do the work of two.
With this service, you physically still have one phone line, but, electronically, you
have two phone numbers. Your phone recognizes these different numbers and rings
differently 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 difference between the
distinctive patterns of the two rings.
Your fax machine is also smart enough to tell the difference between two different
numbers that are ringing it. All you have to do is set up your machine for the
Distinctive Ring Detection (
DRD
) feature.
In order to use
DRD
, your phone company must set up your distinctive ring service.
When it does, it will assign a ring pattern. For example, the standard telephone ring
is 2 seconds “on” (ringing) and 4 seconds “off” (silent), after which it repeats itself.
Your fax has eight possible distinctive ring patterns for use with
DRD
. One of them
should work with your phone company’s
DRD
service. This chart lists the patterns:
Pattern One complete ring pattern (seconds)
A
0.8 on, 0.4 off, 0.8 on, 4.0 off
B
0.4 on, 0.2 off, 0.4 on, 0.2 off, 0.8 on, 4.0 off
C
0.3 on, 0.2 off, 1.0 on, 0.2 off, 0.3 on, 4.0 off
D
1.0 on, 0.5 off, 1.0 on, 3.5 off
E
0.5 on, 0.5 off, 0.5 on, 0.5 off, 1.0 on, 3.0 off
F
0.5 on, 0.5 off, 1.0 on, 0.5 off, 0.5 on, 3.0 off
G
0.4 on, 0.6 off, 0.4 on, 4.6 off
H
1.5 on, 0.5 off, 0.5 on, 3.5 off
For example: pattern
C
is 0.3 seconds ringing, 0.2 seconds silent, 1 second ringing,
0.2 seconds silent, 0.3 seconds ringing and 4 seconds silent. Then it goes back to the
first 0.3-second ring and starts over.
