Telecommunications Regulations
Telecommunications Regulations
In the United States, FCC rules Part 68 require that the following user instructions
are provided:
The telephone company has the right to ask you for registration information about
your equipment that is connected to the telephone line. When requested, you
should provide your equipment’s FCC registration number and ringer equivalence
number (REN), if applicable.
The user instructions shall include the FCC registration number and a detailed list
of all ports that connect to the network. The information provided must also
include USOC connector jacks, the facility interface codes (FOC), service order
codes, (SOCs), and REN, as applicable.
REN is used to determine the number of devices that can be connected to an analog
telephone line, but is generally not applicable to digital service equipment.
Excessive RENs on the line may result in the devices’ not ringing in response to an
incoming call. Contact the telephone company to determine the maximum REN
sum for the calling area; in general, it should not exceed five.
The telephone company may change its equipment, operations, or procedures.
If these changes affect your equipment or service, the telephone company will
provide written notice so you may make the necessary changes with uninterrupted
service.
FCC regulations and telephone company procedures prohibit connection of
customer-provided equipment to telephone company-provided coin service (central
office-implemented systems). Connection to party lines is subject to state tariffs.
Contact your telephone company if you have any questions about your telephone
line.
