5.1 Distinctive Ring
service from your phone
company
The Distinctive Ring service is a service offered
by your local telephone company. This service
provides several telephone numbers for a single
telephone line, and the ring pattern differs
according to which telephone number the call
was addressed to. Originally, this service was
designed for the purpose of allowing different
ring patterns to distinguish which number the call
was addressed to.
This unit distinguishes the different ring patterns.
If the ring pattern is one which is assigned for a
fax, the fax machine will automatically start fax
reception. This service is convenient if you wish
to have a different number for fax in a single
telephone line.
To use this service, you must subscribe to
the Distinctive Ring service offered by your
local telephone company.
