The ASD-4 allows you to select the port assignment for each of these ring

patterns (see Section 5.4.4 through 5.4.6). Once you connect your telephone

equipment to the ASD-4, you can get different phone numbers for the

individual devices to allow automatic access to each device.

The name of this "Distinctive Ring Service," as well as the ring patterns

available, may vary with each telephone company. This service might not

be available in some locations, but it is required in order for the ASD-4 to

route calls by ring pattern. Contact your local telephone company to

verify the availability of this service in your area.

If Distinctive Ring calls are being misdirected by the ASD-4, set function

[4][0] (Rings to Answer Call) to answer on two rings (see Section 5.4.7).

4.4 Using Remote Message Notification (RMN)

When you enable Remote Message Notification, the ASD-4 can automatically

notify a user that he or she has received a voice message, fax, or data

transmission by dialing a telephone number when it receives a call to the TAD

port, FAX port, MODEM port, or any combination of these ports.

After an incoming call is complete, the ASD-4 dials the user-programmed

RMN phone number and begins producing a series of beeps (see below).

These beeps tell whoever answers the phone at the other end which port or

ports received the incoming call. You can turn RMN ON or OFF, enter or

change the RMN phone number, and set the RMN-triggering conditions, and

you can do all these things "on location" or remotely:
