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.
A FCC Compliant 6-position modular plug is provided with this equipment. This
