8.1 Distinctive Ring service
When a call is made to one of your phone numbers, the
telephone company sends a ring pattern to your
telephone line to indicate which number the call is
intended for. By setting up this unit for Distinctive Ring,
you can make the unit automatically start fax reception
when a call comes to the fax number.
To use this service, you must subscribe to the
Distinctive Ring service offered by your local
telephone company. Consult your local telephone
company for availability.

How phone calls and faxes are received
If the incoming call is for the fax number, the unit will ring
with the assigned ring pattern and automatically start fax
reception.
If the incoming call is for the phone number, the unit will
continue ringing.

If an external telephone answering machine is
connected, set the ring count of the answering
machine to more than 2.
8.3 Using three or more phone
numbers on a single telephone
line
You may wish to use three or more phone numbers for a
single telephone line. In order to distinguish which
number the call was addressed to, a different ring
pattern must be assigned for each number.
Example: Using three phone numbers
To use one phone number for the fax, program the ring
pattern assigned for the fax (feature #431 on page 55). In
the example, the ring pattern assigned for fax is a triple
ring, so you should program
“
C
”
(triple ring).
