Part 68 of FCC Rules

This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC Rules. On the modem board inside full featured base stations is a label that contains, among other information, the FCC registration number and ringer equivalence number (REN) for this equipment. If requested, this information may be provided to the telephone company.

The REN is used to determine the quantity of devices that may be connected to the telephone line. Excessive RENs on the telephone line may result in the device not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most, but not all areas, the sum of the RENs should not exceed five (5.0).

L’indice d’équivalence de la sonnerie (IES) sert à indiquer le nombre maximal de terminaux qui peuvent être raccordés à une interface téléphonique. La terminaison d’une interface peut consister en une combinaison quelconque de dispositifs, à la seule condition que la somme d’indices d’équivalence de la sonnerie de tous les dispositifs n’excède pas 5.

To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to the line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the telephone company to determine the maximum RENs for the calling area.

This terminal cannot be used on telephone-company-provided coin service. Connection to Party Line Service is subject to state tariffs.

This equipment uses the following USOC jacks: RJ11C, RJ45 (WAN/Ethernet)
