"@_TIP: Distinctive ring must be set up again if you reassign your fax number
or connect the machine to another telephone line. Once set up again (that
is, the fax machine has learned the ring pattern and the answering mode is
correctly set), you should test the fax machine by calling the fax number
and another number on the same line. The machine should respond
appropriately to a call placed to the fax number with fax tones, and to a
normal telephone call with the expected ring pattern.

How the product receives faxes depends on the answer/receive mode you chose when
you set up the product. You can send faxes in any answer/receive mode. The answer/
receive mode setting determines how the device answers the incoming call.
