If your home has an alarm it must have some type of filter or splitter to isolate the alarm signal from your DSL. The alarm must be isolated even if the service is not being used. Specialized RJ-31X/RJ-38X alarm filters that easily connect in line, as well as panel type filters are available for direct use with home alarm system. More information is available here. Alarm systems can also be isolated by installing a homerun.
