Using DTIM with digital phone service

posted by scottc on Sep 08, 2007


I am trying to install a DTIM module with my Simon 3 system. I have digital phone service (Comcast) and can't get it to work. When I plug the phone cord into the jack (on cable company main box), the phone 1 and phone 2 lights start to flash in unison (signaling in use), and then the phone signal dies. Once I unplug the DTIM everything resets within about 1 min.

I have tried changing the sensor number (I was told it had to be #1), but no luck so far. Anyone have any suggestions?

It turns out that because Comcast uses VoIP, the Simon can't use it to call in reports. I ended up having to switch monitoring companies to one that specifically uses internet monitoring. The solution was to buy/install a wireless g bridge into the phone output on the alarm panel, and then connect it (wirelessly) to my home network. No major problems since then.
