Setting DRPD as the Fax Receive Mode

If you plan to use the MultiPASS as a stand-alone fax machine, user settings, such as date and time, name, and telephone number are programmable through the control panel. However, to program speed dials, set legal paper for legal sized copies or faxes, or other user setting changes, it is recommended to install the MultiPASS Desktop Manager software.

1. On the Setup menu, click 'Fax Setup'.
   
   
   
   
2. In the Fax Setup dialog box, click the 'Receive Fax' tab.
   
   
   
   
3. Select 'Distinct Ring Pattern Detect (DRPD)' in the Receive Mode drop-down list in the Answer section.
   
   
4. Click the 'Advanced' button.
   
   
5. In the DRPD Switch Options section, specify each ring pattern you have been assigned, with its associated action, fax ID, and fax number.
   
   
   
   Ring Pattern:
   If you subscribe to DRPD through your phone company, click the ring pattern assigned to each phone number by your phone company: Normal (single-ring), Double (double-ring), S-S-L (shortshort- long ring), S-L-S (short-long-short ring), or Others.
   
   Action:
   If you subscribe to DRPD through your phone company, click the call type to be received for each selected ring pattern. Typically, you would specify telephone calls for one ring pattern and fax calls for the other ring pattern.
