The REN is used to determine the number of devices you may connect to your telephone line and
still have all those devices ring when your number is called.Too many devices on one line may result
in failure to ring in response to an incoming call. In most, but not all, areas, the sum of all of the
devices should not exceed five (5). To be certain of the number of devices you may connect to your
line, as determined by the RENs, contact your local telephone company.
