Types of Ring Patterns

Your telephone company will assign a distinctive ring pattern to each number when you order the DRP service. The setting you make in the MultiPASS must match the setting assigned by the telephone company.

You can set the MultiPASS for the following ring patterns:

❍Normal ring—Ring type of normal telephone line (Recommended for voice calls)

❍Double ring—Two short rings at regular intervals (Recommended for fax calls)

❍Triple ring—Short-short-long at regular intervals

❍Triple ring—Short-long-short at regular intervals

❍Other ring type—Patterns other than those described above

You set the DRPD Switch Options in the Advanced: Receive Fax dialog box (see “Setting Up Advanced Receive Fax Options” in Chapter 3, Using the MultiPASS Fax Setup Utility for details).

You must set all DRPD ring numbers in the MultiPASS. You select the ring pattern and then specify whether the pattern is for telephone calls, faxes, or both (fax/tel switching). See the next section for details.

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 will not ring. After the pattern is detected, the MultiPASS reacts according to how you registered the setting.
