have a DSC632 Alarm. I have the alpha/num LCD pad (LCD5500z). I do
not have CAT5 as my phone network. Only the older style (4wires REd,
green, yellow, black) 2 line cabling.

I am somewhat familiar with the programing and have the service manual
and unpublished service codes.



All my phone jacks in the house are live with Vonage. However, The
alarm still gives me a constant yellow light and error code.
communications Phone line
Trouble code on the LCD pad.


By the way, I am not using a monitoring service anymore. (ADT)
I would like the Alarm to notify myself when an event is tripped. I had
it set up this way before when I had ADT. It called them and myslef on
my cell phone. When a call came from home, I knew it was the alarm
because no one else would call me from there. I didn't get any result
codes because it was not setup in any useful format other than for ADT.

1.)Is there a way to reset the alarm.
2.)Is there a way to make the alarm NOT look for a dial tone.

Thanks so much

Vonage VoIP is unreliable (at best) for transmission of alarm signals.
Dont waste your time, it will drive you nuts...and if you get it to work it
may only work once in a while. Get a POTS line.

the only way to get the error code removed from the panel is going to be
when it succesfully communicate so you need to do a power down and power
it back up and until next communication error it will remain ok

you can disactivate tlm and communication in section 380 light 1 has
to be off to turn off comminication

Yes. But not if it's locked out. Take the power down to the system by
disconnecting the battery first. Then remove the transformer from the wall
plug. Wait 30 seconds. Reconnect the battery and plug in the transformer.
If you hear a series of "clicks" from the telephone relay, the panel's
locked and your SOL.


> 2.)Is there a way to make the alarm NOT look for a dial tone.

Yes. But you have to get into installer level programming first. And you
can only remove the "D" (dial tone search) via the downloading software.
The system's firmware automatically places the "D" at the front of the dial
string when you're keypad programming. You'll also have to disable the TLM
(Telephone Line Monitoring).
