Outbound calls, no limit Inbound calls, ringer equivalent load limit is about 3. Adding up the REN on the bottom each set that is ringing at the same time cannot exceed 3.0 Older unregistered sets can be very high. The early electronic ringers were as high as 4.2 A load higher than 3.0 will reduce the voltage to the point that some phones will not ring reliably. Also, on many sets, turning the ringer "OFF" does not change the REN. Mechanical ringers just silenced the bells, electronic bypassed the sounder. The electrical circuit was still connected. This also had to do with tariffs, the telco used ringer presence to do line testing. -larry / dallas _________________________________________________________________ KX-T Mailing list --- http://kxthelp.com/ Subscription changes: http://kxthelp.com/mailman/listinfo/kxt
