2. REN
The ringer equivalence number (REN) is used to determine the quantity of devices which may be connected to
the telephone line. Excessive RENs on the telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to
an incoming call. In most, but not all areas, the sum of RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the
number of devices that may be connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the local tele-
phone company.
NOTE: RENs are associated with loop-start and ground-start ports. It is not used for E&M and digital ports. The
REN number for this device appears on a label on the product. If requested, this information must be given to
the telephone company.
