This makes it easy for you to have both (for example) a business number and a home number on one phone line, so you can answer one with "Jane Doe Consulting, " and the other with "Hello. " You get the idea: this works because you're smart enough to tell the difference between the distinctive patterns of the two rings. Then it could ignore one of the two numbers, "knowing" that it's supposed to answer only the other one. Well, as you've probably guessed by now, that's exactly what your fax machine can do. All you have to do is give it a little help at the beginning and begin to enjoy the benefits of its OneLine + distinctive ring detection (DRD) feature. 2. 33 Beyond the basics In order that you may use OneLine + DRD, your phone company must set up your distinctive ring service. For example, the standard telephone ring is 2 seconds "on" (ringing) and 4 seconds "off" (silent), after which it repeats itself (hence the term, ring pattern). Some telephone companies provide only a very general description -- for example, "short-short-long" -- of their DRD ring patterns. Fortunately, however, your fax has eight possible distinctive ring patterns for use with OneLine + DRD; one of them should work with your phone company's DRD service. This chart lists the patterns: 4 5 6 Press ENTER. Ring Pattern: A Program/Enter If "A" is the pattern you want, skip to step 7. Press or /PROGRAM repeatedly until your desired pattern appears (in our example here, "C"): Pattern One complete ring pattern (seconds) 0. 8 on, 0. 4 off, 0. 8 on, 4. 0 off 0. 4 on, 0. 2 off, 0. 4 on, 0. 2 off, 0. 8 on, 4. 0 off 0. 3 on, 0. 2 off, 1. 0 on, 0. 2 off, 0. 3 on, 4. 0 off 1. 0 on, 0. 5 off, 1. 0 on, 3. 5 ms off 0. 5 on, 0. 5 off, 0. 5 on, 0. 5 off, 1. 0 on, 3. 0 off 0. 5 on, 0. 5 off, 1. 0 on, 0. 5 off, 0. 5 on, 3. 0 off 0. 4 on, 0. 6 off, 0. 4 on, 4. 6 off 1. 5 on, 0. 5 off, 0. 5 on, 3. 5 off A B C D E F G H Ring Pattern: C Program/Enter 7 Press ENTER to set your machine to the displayed ring pattern. Important: If your telephone company gives you only very general ring pattern specifications, or if you otherwise encounter a problem while trying to use your machine's DRD feature, please try ALL of the listed ring patterns. (If you still have a problem after trying all of the patterns, please call the Muratec Customer Support Center (from the United States, call [972] 364-3350; for the number to call from Canada, check your in-box documentation). Important: With your machine set for using DRD, it won't respond to any ring pattern other than the one you've selected, above.
