Using the Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection

(DRPD) Feature

Some phone 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 C5000 using only one telephone line.

Your MultiPASS C5000 will automatically detect incoming calls. Based

on the distinctive ring pattern, the MultiPASS C5000 knows 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 C5000 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 C5000 must match the setting assigned by the telephone

company.

You can set the MultiPASS C5000 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)

❍ Triple ring—Short-short-long at regular intervals

❍ Triple ring—Short-long-short at regular intervals

❍ Other ring type—Patterns other than those described above

You set the DRPD Switch Options in the Advanced: Receive Fax dialog

box (see page 8-10 for details).

You must set all DRPD ring numbers in the MultiPASS C5000.You

select the ring pattern and then specify whether the pattern is for

telephone calls, faxes,or both (fax/tel switching). See the next section

for details.
