You would desire the entire path to be UL listed if you are doing anything other than facilitating the phone call to the central station. There is app_alarmreciever in Asterisk, and furthermore the ContactID protocol is pure DTMF so that should work without issues. But why use phone lines at all? Recently I installed a DSC T-Link TL260GS which uses internet and GSM, there is no phone line plugged into the alarm panel at all. > The problem is of course that modem calls over VoIP are flaky at best. > Even though these alarm calls are low baud rate, when we test with the > alarm company we only pass about 30% of the time (ulaw from customer site > to our central switch, then out a T1). To be fair there is no QoS on > their Internet links yet, and that certainly plays a role. SIA format is 110 or 300 baud, ContactID is (rapid) DTMF. -- Med Vennlig Hilsen, A.
