Brother MFC-7820N - Manual (Page 119)

Appendix A
A - 2
Before you choose the ring pattern to
register
You can only register one Distinctive Ring
pattern with the MFC. Some ring patterns
cannot be registered. The ring patterns below
are supported by your Brother machine.
Register the one your telephone company
gives you.
Note
If the ring pattern you received is not on this
chart, please call your telephone company
and ask for one that is shown.
■ The MFC will only answer calls to its
registered number.
■
The first two rings are silent on the MFC.
This is because the fax must «listen» to
the ring pattern (to compare it to the
pattern that was ‘registered’). (Other
telephones on the same line will ring.)
■
If you program the MFC properly, it will
recognize the registered ring pattern of the
‘fax number’ within 2 ring patterns and
then answer with a fax tone. When the
‘voice number’ is called, the MFC will not
answer.
Registering the Distinctive Ring
pattern
Very important!
After you have set the Distinctive Ring feature
to ON, the receive mode is set to Manual
automatically. Unless you have a TAD or
Voice Mail set up on the Distinctive Ring
number, Manual mode means you must
answer all the calls yourself. You can not
change the receive mode to another mode
while the Distinctive Ring is set to on.
