You must have your local telephone carrier’s Distinctive
Ring service.
Your fax machine must be in FAX answer mode, and
the PBX dial parameter must be set to OFF. Other
modes—TEL, TEL/FAX, or TAD—will override

connected to your fax machine.

machine has successfully finished programming its ring
pattern, the display shows RESULT=OK.
