APPENDIX A
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 MFC. Register the one your telephone
company gives you.
ā
The MFC will only answer calls to its registered number.
ā
The first two rings are silent on the MFC. This is because the fax
must Ā«listenĀ» to the ring pattern (to compare it to the pattern that
was āregisteredā). (Other telephones on the same line will ring.)
ā
If you program the MFC properly, it will recognize the registered
ring pattern of the āfax numberā within 2 ring patterns and then
answer with a fax tone. When the āvoice numberā is called, the
MFC will not answer.
