Well, that did the trick! I've got working dsl, the alarm is now communicating strongly with the monitor station, it seizes the line, and all the phones have dial tone! Thank you so much for the help, I couldn't have figured it out without it. Please have a beer on me!

Okay, now this makes sense to me. Removing the existing wires from the posts at the demark does the trick. I take it the dsl filter will act only on the signal that goes to the alarm panel, that the 31x will pass the signal thru back to the phone loop unless the line is seized...is that how...

How does this sound: Add the alarm black wire to the 2 white with orange stripe wires on the demark green screw (lower left position). Add the alarm yellow wire to the 2 orange with white stripe wires on the demark copper screw (lower right position). Add the alarm red wire to where? Add the...

Thanks for the attempt, but that arrangement did not work for me. That put the 2 white with orange stripe wires, the alarm black and the alarm green onto the green screw in the line 2 section. That put the 2 orange with white stripe wires, the alarm red and the alarm yellow onto the copper screw...

The filter I got is an Excelsus z-a431pj31x-a DSL Alarm Filter that fits the RJ31x and has a short mod cable with the proper connector to install between the RJ and the alarm panel pigtail. It should do the trick. I need to get outside and open up the demark box to take a look. Good thing it's...

Thanks for the reply. I've gone home and looked again at the alarm box. The wife needs dsl to run verizon iobi, and she controls her calls at her dell online using wireless from a dsl modem. The house broadband is dsl, and we are happy with that. The verizon pots dsl line (#2) should be fine...

Howdy, and thanks in advance for the d.i.y. newbie help... I just had TW cable telephone service installed at home on my line #1, formerly Verizon pots, and of course the tech expediently backfed the dial tone from the modem into the nearest rj11 jack. Now my ademco alarm panel hooked up to...
