Ringer Equivalence Number (REN)
The REN is useful to determine the quantity of devices you may connect to your
telephone line and still have all of the devices ring when your telephone number is
called. In most areas (but not all), the sum of the RENs of all devices connected to
one line should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices you
may connect to your telephone line, as determined by the REN, you should contact
your local telephone company to determine the maximum REN for your calling
area.
The REN for the modem contained in this product does not exceed 1.0.
