Hello All,

Can anyone advise what alarm monitoring is completely incompatible with broadband ?

i.e, any sort of dialler I'd expect to work alright, if it was the correct side of the microfilter.

Plus you can get the faceplate microfilters from example adslnation, giving you filtered and unfiltered terminals you can come off.

But what about digicom/dualcom/redcare ?

Thank all.

All alarm monitoring can be made compatible with broadband.

Some old redcare stu's are incompatible with broadband, this can be fixed by fitting a new stu

Thanks chaps.

Sounds like it might not be the problem I thought it was.

'Digicom' is the same thing as a 'dialler' (Just different terminology).

Dualcom is fine - pstn side may require filtering

Redcares are filtered at the exchange nowdays if the line is shared with a broadband connection.

most people nowdays calls speech diallers, diallers.

I suppose in your end of the industry you dont really come accross them.

Wish i didnt either. Damn things

Tbh I didn't even think about vocalisers as we see so few of them as you rightly say.

Oh the joy of recorded messages....

Where would you normally wire any sort of (PSTN) line monitoring, to ?

Looking at this one, they've taken a junction box of the incoming pair from BT before it reaches the NTE5, wired into that, and then pushed another pair from the junction box into the NTE5. The JB and the NTE5 are next to each other.

My understanding is that nothing is ever wired before the BT master socket.

Is there any sort of line monitoring that requires that configuration ?

might be better of if you told us what exactly you want to know.

Nothing should be wired to the master, and alarms 'should' be on a dedicated line.

Without knowing what your trying to find out its difficult to answer

Well I want to know what the implications are of installing broadband on a line that appears to be wired as described to some sort of alarm dialler.
