Pardon the commercial post. I think it's on topic here. A common complaint from DSL users is that the DSL interferes with the security or HA system's digital communicator. Apparently, DSL installers, particularly those who work for the local telcos, frequently fail to properly filter the DSL from the alarm system. Sometimes the property owner is unaware of the problem until the alarm fails to communicate an event to the monitoring facility. Due to the manner in which the phone line is connected to an alarm or HA panel, conventional plug-in filters are not an adequate solution. The user must install a "splitter/filter" at the demarcation point (where the phone lines enter the premises) and run a separate line to the DSL modem. Unfortunately, the telco installers usually do not do this. They come with a package of in-line filters which are plugged into each phone jack. The phone is then piggy-backed on the filter. Short of installing a separate line to the DSL modem and using a splitter/filter at the demarc there has not until recently been an adequate solution. A company called Excelsius Technologies now makes a plug-in DSL filter that can be inserted directly into the alarm system's RJ-31X jack. The unit is a model Z-A431PJ31X-A. Following is a link to the manufacturer's web site. www.excelsus-tech.com/products/alarm.asp I have added this product to the Bass Home Electronics web site in case anyone here is interested.
