Dial Special Characters and Do not Route

Actually the more I think about this, I think it could be solved with wiring. If I connect my house wiring to the Escort first and then come out of the escort to the OBI, then my Escort could seize the line when it hears the code and allow me to interact with the alarm panel.

Hook it up in-line like this:

House wiring ==== Escort ==== Alarm Dialer ==== OBI110

That way, the Alarm Dialer could seize the line during an alarm, and the Escort could seize the line for local alarm panel interaction.

Thanks for helping me think this through!

The proper way to have the security system installed is for he incoming POTS line be connected to an RJ-31X jack that connects to your security system and your phone jacks. The RJ-31X jack allows the security system to hang up any phones that are off hook and seize the line so an alarm can be transmitted to the monitoring station. Remove the connection to your phone jacks that go to the RJ-31X and replace that connection to the Line output of the Obi 110. The wires that you removed from the RJ-31X that connect to your phone jacks goes to the Phone connection on the Obi 110. This will maintain the integrity of your security system and all your phone jacks will be connected to the Obi. Be careful not to reverse the Line and the Phone connections or you will probably fry the Obi.

I have multiple locations configured this way.

Good luck!
