FCC rules require that upon request you provide the following information to the phone

is useful to determine the quantity of devices you may connect to your telephone
line and still have all of those devices ring when your telephone number is called.
In most, but not all areas, the sum of all RENs should be five or less. To deter-
mine the number of devices permitted in your area, contact your local telephone
company.
