They're referring to the signaling type of the fire alarm dialer to the monitoring service / central station. There are different types including different kinds of pulsing, and then the Ademco contact ID which is mainly used in addressable systems. We have had luck with the 4+2 and other pulse dialings but mixed results with contact ID since it is dumped onto the line so quickly (I have a recording of it somewhere - it's very quick and sometimes is too quick where it is not received reliably - inband DTMF settings or not). It seems that systems with Ademco contact ID also like to call out a lot more than pulse systems likely because they're busier systems and probably more to report on. We usually put our dialtone on only where absolutely needed, or if it's some temporary setup for our customers and we try to corral them to a network monitor solution or a cellular / wireless / AESnet setup, again as others have mentioned, it will all depend on the jurisdiction and what they allow/disallow/support.

What signalling protocol are they using?
We have a few Ademco Contact-ID panels out there. I've had good luck using Grandstreams with inband dtmf.
Thanks... -Dennis

Hello all ? looking for recommendations (other than keeping the analog line) for VoIP ATA?s that are compatible with fire alarm panels. Anyone got a good working solution out there?
