Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection (DRPD) Feature

Some phone 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 phone company offers such a service, you can have both a fax number(s) and a telephone number(s) for your LASER CLASS 2060P using only one telephone line.

Your LASER CLASS 2060P will automatically detect incoming calls. Based on the distinctive ring pattern, the LASER CLASS 2060P 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 LASER CLASS 2060P 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.
