c.BT lines supplied must support either loop disconnect or multifrequency tone signalling.

d.REN (Ringer Equivalence Number).

The REN value of a unit is calculated from 3/n where n is the total number of units which can be connected in parallel which will still cause the standard bell (as defined in BS6305 Appendix D) to ring.

REN values of less than 0.3 cannot be assigned.

REN = 1

If a telephone or other device is connected in parallel with the modem, the combined REN must not exceed 4. A BT supplied telephone may be assumed to have REN of 1.0 unless otherwise noted.
