Ringer Equivalence Number (REN)
The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) assigned to each terminal device provides an indication
of the maximum number of terminals allowed to be connected to a telephone interface. The
termination on an interface may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the re-
quirement that the sum of the Ringer Equivalence Numbers of all the devices does not exceed
5. The REN is associated with the analog loop-start and ground-start telephones. It is not ap-
plicable to Siemens optiPoint 500 telephones.
