Equipment Attachment
Limitations
The following are notices required by Industry Canada
Terminal Attachment Program Certification Procedure CP-
01, Part I, Section 14.
Ringer Equivalence Number (REN)
The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) assigned to each
terminal device provides an indication of the maximum
number of terminals allowed to be connected to a telephone
interface. The termination on an interface may consist of any
combination of devices subject only to the requirement that
the sum of the Ringer Equivalence Numbers of all the devices
does not exceed 5. The REN is associated with the analog
loop-start and ground-start telephones. It is not applicable to
Siemens optiPoint 500 telephones.
Equipment Attachment Limitations
The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment. This
certification means that the equipment meets certain
telecommunications network protective, operational and
safety requirements as prescribed in the appropriate Terminal
Equipment Technical Requirement documents. The
Department does not guarantee the equipment will operate to
the user’s satisfaction.
