Commodore Modem/300 Load Number
The load number(LN) assigned to each terminal device denotes the
percentage of the total load to be connected to the telephone loop
used by the device, to prevent overloading. The termination on a
loop may consist of any combination of devices, subject only to the
requirement that the total of load numbers of all the devices not
exceed 100. An alphabetic suffix is also specified in the load num­
ber for the appropriate ringing type (A or B), if applicable. For exam­
ple LN = 5B designates a load number of 5 and a B-type ringer. The
Canadian load number is found on the label on the bottom of the
modem.
