Registering The Distinctive Ring Pattern; Turning Off The Distinctive Ring - Brother MFC-8220 User Manual

■
The MFC will only answer calls to its registered number.
■
The first two rings are silent on the MFC. This is because the fax
must «listen» to the ring pattern (to compare it to the pattern that
was 'registered'). (Other telephones on the same line will ring.)
■
If you program the MFC properly, it will recognize the registered
ring pattern of the 'fax number' within 2 ring patterns and then
answer with a fax tone. When the 'voice number' is called, the
MFC will not answer.

Registering the Distinctive Ring pattern

Very important!
After you have set the Distinctive Ring feature to ON, the receive mode
is set to Manual automatically. Unless you have a TAD or Voice Mail
set up on the Distinctive Ring number, Manual mode means you must
answer all the calls yourself. You cannot change the receive mode to
any other mode while the Distinctive Ring is set to on.
