allowed, if the total REN of 4 is
exceeded, the telephones may not ring.
With different telephone types there is
no guarantee of ringing, even when the
REN is less than 4.

the UK for connection to the public

switchboards, which support tone
dialling and time break recall. If in doubt
please consult your service provider.
