DRPD

The recommendations above for connecting additional devices still apply if using Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection (DRPD). The A1500 will only pick up calls made to the telephone number that has the Ring Pattern that it has learned. DRPD setup instructions may be found in the “Receiving Automatically in DRPD Mode” section of the Faxing chapter.

Connecting and Configuring Equipment

Deciding how to connect and configure equipment depends on the number of lines available and the intended usage. The main functions are:

•Fax

•Audio (including answering machines and voice messaging systems)

•Internet (includes data or bulletin board link)

If you only have a single line, then only one of these functions can be active at any one time.

If you have more than one line, then it may be advantageous to dedicate a line to a specific function. For example, with two telephone lines you can fax and browse the Internet at the same time.

Devices and Connections

This section describes four ways to connect the A1500 to a single telephone line with other equipment. Additional equipment connected to other lines is not shown.

Find the Diagram that shows the devices that you wish to connect to the same telephone line.
