MF & Time Break Recall operation
The 20AT uses MF signalling and TB recall signalling only. Contact your telephone line provider if unsure of the type of signalling you should be using.
During a call, phones can use a recall signal to indicate to the exchange that they are about to send more digits.
REN Values
To ring properly when a call arrives all phones draw a small current from the telephone line. All telephone devices have a REN value, a measure of how many 'current units' they need to ring properly.
Most telephone lines can provide ringing current for a total REN of 4. If the total REN of all the devices on the line exceeds that value, then some of the devices may not ring when calls arrive.
If it is necessary to connect more devices to a line than it can support, equipment exists that can increase the total REN provided by the line. Contact your line provider for details.
•The 20AT has a REN of 1. It can share the same telephone line as other telephone devices so long as the total REN does not exceed that of the line (usually 4). INDeX standard telephone sockets provide a REN of 2.
