Distinctive Ring
Distinctive Ring is a phone service that may be offered by your phone
company. Check your phone company for availability. With this service,
you can have several phone numbers assigned to the same phone line.
The phone company will send a different type of ring signal for each
phone number being called. The subscriber can distinguish which
number is called by which type of ring is received.
One benefit of this feature is the ability to have three numbers on the
same line allowing you to list the three numbers for voice, data, and fax,
respectively. You can then have your fax machine answer only the ring
corresponding to the fax number and have your modem answer only the
ring corresponding to the data number. A voice call will not be
answered by either fax machine or data modem and it will only be
answered when someone picks up the phone. You can also have the
answering machine answer only the voice ring. A more complicated use
is that you can have one number for multiple uses, such as one number
for both data and fax.
A ring signal is a composition of repeated on and off states. Different
types of rings usually correspond to different compositions of the “ON”
