modem card is a label that contains, among other information, a product identifier in the format

This modem uses the USOC RJ-11 telephone jack.
A telephone plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and telephone network
must comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and requirements adopted by the ACTA. The REN is
used to determine the quantity of devices which may be connected to the telephone line.
Excessive RENs on the telephone line may result in the devices 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). 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.
For products approved after July 23, 2001, the REN for this product is part of the product identifier that has
the format US:AAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented by ## are the REN without a decimal point (e.g. 03
is a REN of 0.3). For earlier products, the REN is separately shown on the label.
