Set distinctive ring
Ring-pattern or distinctive-ring service is available through some local telephone companies. The service
allows you to have more than one telephone number on a single line. Each telephone number has a unique
ring pattern, so that you can answer voice calls and the product can answer fax calls.
If you subscribe to a ring-pattern service with a telephone company, you must set the product to answer the
correct ring pattern. Not all countries/regions support unique ring patterns. Contact the telephone company
to determine if this service is available in your country/region.
NOTE:
If you do not have ring-pattern service and you change the ring-pattern settings to something other
than the default,
All Rings
, the product might not be able to receive faxes.
The settings are as follows:
●
All Rings
: The product answers any calls that come through the telephone line.
●
Single
: The product answers any calls that produce a single-ring pattern.
●
Double
: The product answers any calls that produce a double-ring pattern.
●
Triple
