How many telephones can you have?
All items of telephone equipment have a Ringer
Equivalence Number (REN), which is used to calculate
the number of items, which may be connected to any
other telephone line. Your Telstra V850a has a REN of
0.1. A total REN of 3 is allowed, if the total REN of 3 is
exceeded, the telephone may not ring. With different
telephone types there is no guarantee of ringing, even
when the REN is less than 3.
