Connection and conditions for use
You can connect your model 101 to a direct exchange line (DEL), a line
connected to a local exchange, with its own phone number; to an extension
socket connected to a DEL; or to an extension on an approved compatible PBX.

How many phones can you connect?
The ringer equivalence numbers (RENs) of all instruments (phones, fax
machines, etc.) connected to an exchange line must not add up to more than 4,
otherwise, one or more of them may not ring and/or answer calls correctly. The
model 101 has a REN of 1, and most other telephones have a REN of 1, unless
marked otherwise.
