Technical information
How many telephones can you have?
All items of telephone equipment have a Ringer Equivalence Number (REN), which is used to calculate the number of items which may be connected to any other telephone line. Your BT Glide has a REN of 1. A total REN of 4 is allowed. If the total REN of 4 is exceeded, the telephone may not ring.
With different telephone types there is no guarantee of ringing, even when the REN is less than 4.
Switchboard compatibility
This product is intended for use within the UK for connection to public switched telephone networks and compatible switchboards, which support tone dialling and timed break recall. If in doubt please consult your network service provider.
Dialling mode
Your BT Glide is set to Tone dialling. Some older switchboards may require Pulse dialling. To change the dialling mode, see ‘Set the dialling mode’, page 60.
PABX access code
If you are connecting your BT Glide to a switchboard/PBX you may need to enter an access code (e.g. 9) in order to get an outside line, see ‘Set the PABX (switchboard) code’, page 61. So that the switchboard has time to pick up an outside line, you may also need to add a Pause after the access code in numbers stored in the phonebook.
