8-14 Receiving Faxes Chapter 8
How DRPD Responds to Calls
When there is an incoming call, your unit checks the incoming ring pattern and
determines the type of pattern being received. Your unit may require up to 10 seconds
to determine the pattern type. During this time, any telephone device connected to your
unit reacts according to how you registered the setting.

Communicating With DRPD
Using the unit with a DRP service is almost the same as using it with a normal
telephone line.
When you turn on DRPD, the receive mode defaults to DRPD.
When someone calls using the number assigned for telephone communication, your
unit rings in the pattern you registered for voice calls. When you hear this pattern,
simply answer the call using the optional handset or telephone connected to your unit
and talk. If you do not answer, your unit continues ringing until the other party hangs
up.
When someone sends a fax using the number assigned for fax communication, your
unit receives the fax automatically.
