The ability for Dealers to source their products locally is becoming increasingly more important with rising transportation costs. This is what makes the solution very popular as Dealers can conveniently pickup adapters from their local consumer electronics store.
The vast resources Linksys have behind their products and the fact that more than 10 million adapters have been sold in over 50 countries ensures that this is the most robust IP Alarm Monitoring device on the market by far.
Where two-way voice, Pulse and FSK formats are required, signals are instead sent to one of
your existing POTS based alarm receivers via a Receiver Conversion Device. This
removes the requirement to purchase new IP receivers and protects your
investment in existing equipment. The receiver conversion devices are protocol
independent and will allow your Dealers to send signals over IP from ANY panel
modem or dialer - regardless of how old or obscure it is. This method of operation
requires a reasonable amount of bandwidth to function reliably.
The Linksys PAP2T is the most popular device used by our customers due to its sub $50 price tag. It is a two line device which means it is also possible to use line 2 for voice service with any VoIP provider that supports BYOD.
The Linksys SPA3102 model can function as part of a dual path solution by allowing POTS/Cellular backup. When an alarm panel dials the primary phone number, the signal goes via the Internet if available. If the signal fails, the panel will dial it's secondary phone number and the signal is passed thru to the connected backup device. The SPA3102 usually costs under $85 and can be connected to any cellular backup device that supports Dialer Capture (Contact ID). This flexibility allows you to protect your investment in existing cellular backup equipment.
Adapters customized and locked to VoIP service providers are not supported unless they are first unlocked. Our Provisioning Server requires that adapters are reset to their factory default settings.
