Receiving Using the Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection Feature: DRPD

Some telephone companies offer a Distinctive Ring Pattern (DRP) service whereby they assign
two or more telephone numbers with distinctive ring patterns to a 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 using only one telephone line.
Your MultiPASS will automatically monitor incoming calls and based on the distinctive ring
pattern, it will determine 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 for use with a DRP service. For more
details on the DRP service, contact your local telephone company. (Your telephone company may
have a different name for this service. Also, this service may not be offered in all areas.)
