Brother International MFC 5440CN Users Manual - English - Page 159

Before you choose the ring pattern to register You can only register one Distinctive Ring pattern with the MFC. Some ring patterns cannot be registered. The ring patterns below are supported by your Brother MFC. Register the one your telephone company gives you. Ring Pattern 1 Rings long-long 2 short-long-short 3 short-short-long 4 very long (normal pattern) If the ring pattern you received is not on this chart, please call your telephone company and ask for one that is shown. ■ The MFC will only answer calls to its registered number. ■ The first two rings are silent on the MFC. This is because the fax must «listen» to the ring pattern (to compare it to the pattern that was 'registered'). (Other telephones on the same line will ring.) ■ If you program the MFC properly, it will recognize the registered ring pattern of the 'fax number' within 2 ring patterns and then answer with a fax tone. When the 'voice number' is called, the MFC will not answer. A - 3 APPENDIX A
