Limiting polling access to your fax machine

Your machine’s closed network setting (see page 2.60) works for polling, also. If a calling fax doesn’t “present” the proper passcode, it cannot poll from your fax.

Note: If you’re using the Block Junk Fax feature (see pages 2.60–2.61), even incoming calls which meet the passcode test must come from phone numbers you’ve approved.

Beyond the Basics

OneLine + distinctive ring detection

Many phone companies now offer their customers a special service which makes it possible for one phone line to do the work of two.

With this service, you physically still have one phone line, but, electronically, you have two phone numbers. Your phone recognizes these different numbers and rings differently for each one.

For example, this makes it easy for you to have both a business number and a home number on one phone line, so you can answer one with “Jane Doe Consulting,” and the other with “Hello.” This works because you can tell the difference between the distinctive patterns of the two rings.

Your fax machine is also smart enough to tell the difference between two different numbers that are ringing it. All you have to do is set up your machine for the OneLine + distinctive ring detection (DRD) feature.

In order to use OneLine + DRD, your phone company must set up your distinctive ring service. When it does, it will assign a ring pattern. For example, the standard telephone ring is 2 seconds “on” (ringing) and 4 seconds “off” (silent), after which it repeats itself.

Your fax has eight possible distinctive ring patterns for use with OneLine + DRD. One of them should work with your phone company’s DRD service. This chart lists the patterns:

Pattern	One complete ring pattern (seconds)
A	0.8 on, 0.4 off, 0.8 on, 4.0 off
B	0.4 on, 0.2 off, 0.4 on, 0.2 off, 0.8 on, 4.0 off
C	0.3 on, 0.2 off, 1.0 on, 0.2 off, 0.3 on, 4.0 off
D	1.0 on, 0.5 off, 1.0 on, 3.5 off
E	0.5 on, 0.5 off, 0.5 on, 0.5 off, 1.0 on, 3.0 off
F	0.5 on, 0.5 off, 1.0 on, 0.5 off, 0.5 on, 3.0 off
G	0.4 on, 0.6 off, 0.4 on, 4.6 off
H	1.5 on, 0.5 off, 0.5 on, 3.5 off

For example: pattern C is 0.3 seconds ringing, 0.2 seconds silent, 1 second ringing,

0.2seconds silent, 0.3 seconds ringing and 4 seconds silent. Then it goes back to the first 0.3-second ring and starts over.
