Distinctive Ring Service
The phone company's Distinctive Ring service (DRS) is offered in most areas across the U.S. Phone companies offer this
service under various names; check with your local phone company for details (service activation required).
When a second, third or fourth phone number is added to a single line, the ASAP 104 works smoothly to process calls without
depending on access codes or transfer tones.
The factory default for Distinctive Ring Detection is OFF. When turned ON, the ASAP 104 will process the additional phone
numbers (ring styles) as follows:
port P1- - - standard ring
port P3- - - three-burst ring (short-short-long)
(short-short-short)
(long-long-long)
(long-short-short)
(short-long-long)
NOTE: If a ring burst is not assigned to a port, the ASAP 104 will not answer a call ringing with that specific cadence. (These
settings are the default settings for transferring calls and can be changed to meet end-user needs.)
When Distinctive Ring Detection is turned ON, the following features are deactivated:
Automatic Primary Port Transfer
When Distinctive Ring is turned ON, the ASAP 104 will process calls in the current operating mode. Calls will be processed
differently in the Automatic mode and Semi-Automatic mode as follows:

Distinctive Ring – Automatic Mode
The ASAP 104 answers incoming calls
on the first ring. It then listens for 4
seconds for routing tones or access
codes.
NOTE: The routing tones and
access codes can be changed
through programming.
If the ASAP 104 detects any of these signals, it transfers the call to the appropriate port. If the ASAP 104 does not
detect any of these signals, it will transfer the call to the port designated in the DRS Assignment.
The ASAP 104 will answer the call on the first ring (Rings to Answer Call) unless the DRS Assignment is not set
for that line. (This means the ASAP 104 will only process distinctive rings that have been programmed and ignore
all other ring styles.)
