    You need an analog line for EP systems.

    Basically a digi is a standard phone. If you can plug in a regular phone & make a call then the alarm digi can do likewise.
    Also works with the likes of Blueface whose units give out an analouge phone line.

    I had UPC saying the same thing. Even after I told them it works they still argued with me.

    They did not say it wont work, it does provide an analog line. They just dont want to take any chances if it does not contact the monitoring station in the event it was needed most.

    That is ridiculous you could say the same if the line was down & you needed to dial 999. No reason whatsoever bot to use it. Like UPC etc. I'd recommend a back up PSU.

    Thats correct but they are not willing to stand over there modem in the event it did not communicate with the monitoring station.

    No service providers would be willing to guarantee communication at any given time or event. But you don't see them telling you not to use it.

    They will tell you that, even UPC have said the same to you. No one is disputing it wont work, they just dont want monitored alarms connected to it.

    UPC actually try to tell you it won't work. What I am saying is it is ridiculous that they don't recomment it on the basis that they will not guarantee connection. Vodafone or Eircom won't give a guarantee like that either but they dont go on with that rubbish.

    I agree but thats why they dont want monitored alarms connected to there line, they cant guarantee connection 100% of the time.
