Brother uses the term ‘Distinctive Ring’ but

What does your telephone company’s 
‘Distinctive Ring’ do?

Your telephone company’s Distinctive Ring 
service allows you to have more than one 
number on the same phone line. If you need 
more than one phone number, it is 
cheaper than paying for an extra line....

Two-line phone system7
A two-line phone system is nothing more than 
two separate phone numbers on the same 
wall outlet. The two phone numbers can be 
on separate jacks (RJ11) or combined into 
one jack (RJ14). Your machine must be 
plugged into an RJ11 jack. RJ11 and RJ14 
jacks may be equal in size and appearance 
and both may contain four wires (black, red, 
green, yellow). To test the type of jack, 
plug in a two-line phone and see if it can 
access both...

You can keep two-line telephones on other 
wall outlets as always. There are two ways to 
add a two-line telephone to the machine’s 
wall outlet. You can plug the telephone line 
cord from the two-line telephone into the 
L1+L2 jack of the triplex adapter. Or, you can 
plug the two-line telephone into the TEL jack 
of the two-line TAD.
