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 telephone 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.)

Types of Ring Patterns

Your telephone company will assign a distinctive ring pattern to each number when you
order the DRP service. The setting you make in the MultiPASS must match the setting
assigned by the telephone company.
You can set the MultiPASS for the following ring patterns:
• NORMAL RING
Ring type of normal telephone line (Recommended for voice calls.)
• DOUBLE RING
Two short rings at regular intervals (Recommended for fax calls.)
• SHORT-SHORT-LONG (Triple ring)
Short-short-long rings at regular intervals
• SHORT-LONG-SHORT (Triple ring)
Short-long-short rings at regular intervals
• OTHER RING TYPE
Patterns other than those described above
