Purefibre Home Phone daisy chaining - max number of phones?
Hello. Can anyone say what the so-called ringer equivalency is for the Telus Purefibre Home Phone lines? That would be the number of hard wired phones that can be daisy chained before they can't get ...
The industry standard has always been 5. In Canada, most phones have a Ring Equivalency Number (REN) of 100 and the maximum on landlines is 500. Although I can't speak for the purefibre set up, I can well imagine that if it is replacing legacy landlines, they would engineer it to be similar. Cordless phones are the way to go with more devices since only the base station counts.
Rubato If this any help i have 1 cordless with 4 handsets also 3 hard wired and everything works. There is a battery backup for the fiber phone line. Power outage a year ago the hard wired ones all worked.
Hi Polecat.
Thanks for responding so quickly. And thanks for letting me know what works on your line.
Just for clarity, it sounds like your wired phones worked during the power outage because your fibre ONT was on UPS power. If the ONT wasn't getting power, the wired phones would be as dead as the data line. Is that right?
Thanks again.
