Using the Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection (DRPD) Feature Some phone companies offer a distinctive ring pattern (DRP) service whereby they assign two or more telephone numbers with distinctive ring patterns to a 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 C5000 using only one telephone line. Your MultiPASS C5000 will automatically detect incoming calls. Based on the distinctive ring pattern, the MultiPASS C5000 knows 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 C5000 for use with a DRP service. For more details on the 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.) 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 C5000 must match the setting assigned by the telephone company. You can set the MultiPASS C5000 for the following ring patterns: r Normal ring-Ring type of normal telephone line (Recommended for voice calls) r Double ring-Two short rings at regular intervals (Recommended for fax calls) r Triple ring-Short-short-long at regular intervals r Triple ring-Short-long-short at regular intervals r Other ring type-Patterns other than those described above You set the DRPD Switch Options in the Advanced: Receive Fax dialog box (see page 8-10 for details). You must set all DRPD ring numbers in the MultiPASS C5000. You select the ring pattern and then specify whether the pattern is for telephone calls, faxes, or both (fax/tel switching).
