Distinctive Ring
This MFC feature lets you use the Distinctive Ring subscriber service offered
by some telephone companies, which allows you to have several telephone
numbers on one phone line. Each phone number has its own Distinctive Ring
pattern, so you'll know which phone number is ringing. This is one way you can
have a separate phone number for your MFC.
Your MFC has a Distinctive Ring function, allowing you to dedicate one phone
number just for receiving faxes. You'll need to follow the directions below to
"register" the new Distinctive Ringing pattern, that was assigned by the
Telephone Company, so your MFC can recognize its incoming calls.
You can change or cancel the Distinctive Ring pattern at any time. You can
Note
switch it off temporarily, then turn it back on. When you get a new fax number,
be sure to reset this function.
You can register only one Distinctive Ring pattern with the MFC. Some ringing
patterns cannot be registered.
The MFC will answer only calls to its registered number.
You will not hear the first two rings of all incoming calls on the machine.
To have your TAD answer only the main number, the MFC must be in Manual
mode.
In FAX/TEL or FAX mode, the MFC will answer all numbers on the phone line.
