Using the MultiPASS 1000 with Distinctive
Ringing Pattern (DRP) Service
Some phone companies offer a distinctive ringing pattern (DRP)
service whereby they assign two or more telephone numbers with
distinctive ringing patterns to an existing 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 1000
using only one telephone line.
Your MultiPASS 1000 will automatically detect incoming calls.
Based on the distinctive ringing pattern, the MultiPASS 1000 will
know 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 1000 for
use with a DRP service.
