Note: Do not install the resistor at the panel terminals. This does not provide
supervision of the wire.

Wiring a phone line to the panel

You can connect a phone line to the panel for systems monitored by a central
monitoring station or systems that notify users by a voice event notification.
DSL (digital subscriber line) allows the use of multiple devices on a single phone
line simultaneously. For DSL environments, connect the panel line-in jack to an
available phone jack on the premises. You may also need an inline filter to
ensure panel reporting is successful.
Note: Avoid connecting the panel to a standard phone (voice) line as other
devices on the line can prevent reports from going through.
