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 LASER CLASS 2060P using only one telephone line.
Your LASER CLASS 2060P will automatically detect incoming calls.
Based on the distinctive ring pattern, the LASER CLASS 2060P knows if
the call is from a fax machine trying to send a document or from a
telephone trying to make a voice call.
This feature is called Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection (DRPD).
Use the information in this section to set up the LASER CLASS 2060P 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 with the following procedure must match the
setting assigned by the telephone company.
You can set the LASER CLASS 2060P to select among the following ring
patterns:
❏ Normal ring:
Ring type of normal telephone line
❏ Double ring: Two short rings at regular intervals
❏ Short-short-long: Short-short-long at regular intervals
