Distinctive ring pattern detection (DRPD) - (option)
“Distinctive ring” is a telephone company service which enables a user to
use a single telephone line to answer several different telephone numbers.
The particular number someone uses to call you is identified by a
distinctive ringing pattern consisting of various combinations of long and
short ringing sounds. This feature is often used by answering services who
answer telephones for many different clients and need to know which
number someone is calling in on to properly answer the phone.
Using the DRPD (Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection) feature, this machine
can “learn” the ring pattern you designate to be answered by the fax
machine. Unless you change it, this ringing pattern will continue to be
recognized and answered as a fax call, and all other ringing patterns will be
forwarded to the telephone or answering machine plugged into the TEL
jack. You can easily suspend or change DRPD (Distinctive Ring Pattern
Detection) at any time. see selectable options on page 2.45.
With the DRPD feature active, ‘DRPD’ appears in the display and the
previously set reception mode is ignored. If you turn DRPD off, the
machine returns to any previously set receiving mode.
