RINGER EQUIVALENCE (REN)
The 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 ring-
ing in response to an incoming call. In most but not all areas, the sum of the RENs should
not exceed 5.0. To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to the line,
as determined by the number of RENs, contact the telephone company to determine the
maximum REN for the calling area.
