I'm trying to move my father's Radionics D9412 alarm control system off a landline (he's paying for fibre and a copper phone line). I was considering using a Cisco ATA. But when I discussed the compatability requirements with the monitoring firm, they were suggesting a Permaconn Transmitter with an associated rise in monitoring costs.

 

Anyone else have any experience with this?

The Permaconn is the proper way to do it and will being going over a cellular connection hence the increased monitoring cost.

 

I have had a handful of alarms working through an ATA but it's by no means the "approved" solution for a lot of places. You just need to set the DTMF to Inband as ContactID can't be translated in to RFC2833 signals. Would also G711a for your codec too as sometimes 729 speech can be a bit dodgy.

Edit: Haha oops, didn't read that link above. That is explained quite well. Very surprised to see them actually supporting a scenario like that!
