A special one for house alarms? Please tell more, because I end up working on
DSL setups. Thank you... Ben


My ISP provider told me that I needed one for my house alarm because
my alarm is monitored by phone to a central monitoring unit.
Unfortunately the plug for my house alarm is larger than the phone
plug (why???) so I had to buy a special filter made for house alarms.
If you don't have your house alarm monitored by phone, no need for a
filter.

Ben, if you need the make and model I got, I'll have to get back to
you and will if you ask for it. I'll also see if I still have the
vendor's name too if that helps tho I recall there was at least one or
two others when I shopped for this alarm. I remember when I bought it
on line I was not 100% sure it was the correct one (perhaps 90% at the
time) but after getting it, it worked fine.

Just a foot note here for FWIW.... I know the house alarm filter works
fine because I have no DSL problem connecting and I have tripped my
own alarm by accident recently and the monitoring station called me
back immediately. The alarm is supposed to a monthly call in to the
station for testing purposes anyway but I don't know if they would
call me if it failed the test but by my accidental trips of the alarm
and them calling me, I know the alarm is functioning as designed.
