Follow the instructions on page 5 of the manual.

The 1710 only has three options: two rings, four rings, and toll saver. There's a switch on the back that controls this.

The toll saver answers on the second ring if there are new messages, on the fourth when there aren't. This allows you to call in from a remote phone. If there are messages waiting, it'll answer on the second ring. If it rings at least three times, there are no new messages and you can hang up before you get charged for the call.

Unfortunately there are no settings for more than four rings. Sorry if that wasn't the answer you wanted to see, but there it is.
