Canon MP 1000 manual Setting the MultiPASS 1000 for DRP Use, 6Using Special Dialing

Using the MultiPASS 1000 with Distinctive Ringing Pattern (DRP) Service

Some phone companies offer a distinctive ringing pattern (DRP) service whereby they assign two or more telephone numbers with distinctive ringing patterns to an existing 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 MultiPASS 1000 using only one telephone line.

Your MultiPASS 1000 will automatically detect incoming calls. Based on the distinctive ringing pattern, the MultiPASS 1000 will know if the call is from a fax machine trying to send a document or from a telephone trying to make a voice call.

Use the information in this section to set up the MultiPASS 1000 for use with a DRP service.

NThis feature is called Distinctive Ringing Pattern Detector (DRPD).

For more details on a 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.)
