Your telephone company's Distinctive Ring service allows more than one number to be on the same phone line. If you need more than one phone number, it is an inexpensive alternative to paying for an additional line. Each phone number has its own distinctive ring pattern, so you will know which phone number is ringing. This is one way you can have a separate phone number for your MFC. Note Please consult your telephone company for availability and rates. What Does Brother's "Distinctive Ring" Do? The Brother MFC has a Distinctive Ring feature that allows you to use your MFC to take full advantage of the telephone company's Distinctive Ring service. You can dedicate the new phone number on your line to receiving only faxes. Note You must purchase your telephone company's Distinctive Ring service before you program the Brother MFC to work with it. TELEPHONE SERVICES 8-1 Do You Have Voice Mail? If you have Voice Mail on the phone line you on which will install your new MFC on, there is a strong possibility that Voice Mail and the MFC will conflict with each other while receiving incoming calls. However, this Distinctive Ring feature allows the use of more than one number on your line, so both Voice Mail and the MFC can coexist peacefully. If each one has a separate phone number, neither will interfere with the other's work. If you decide to get the Distinctive Ring Service from the telephone company, you will need to follow the directions below to "register" the new Distinctive Ring pattern they provided, so your MFC can recognize its incoming calls. Note You can change or cancel the Distinctive Ring pattern at any time. You can switch it off temporarily, and later turn it back on.
