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 Without the battery backup not sure but i don't think hard wired phones will work. I asked for the backup and they installed it at our age we need phone all the time. Power off of course cordless will not work.
A lot of the cordless phones will use the battery power from the handset in the base station to run it when there's a power outage - so make sure the handset is in the base unit and use a different one when this situation exists. Of course, you can test it by unplugging the base unit with the handset in place...
I'm pretty sure Panasonic ones are like this but I am not in a position to test that for you right now, sorry.
