Vonage You don't have to pay to have a technician rewire your house unless you are unable
You don't have to pay to have a technician rewire your house unless you are unable or unwilling to do it yourself. Your alarm panel has two telephone line connections (one wire-pair on each of these two connections). It has one side which is intended to be connected to your outside line. The other side is intended to be connected to your house wiring. It normally connects the two together, allowing the devices connected to your house wiring to use the outside line. When it wants to send an alarm (or a test) it opens this connection, thereby preempting your telephones and other devices on the house wiring, and taking over the outside line. By backfeeding your house wiring from your Vonage device, you are feeding dial tone to the alarm panel on its inside rather than its outside telephone connection. When it opens its internal connection to send an alarm or a test, it loses the dial tone.
You can solve the immediate problem by connecting the other side of the alarm panel (which was connected to your outside line) to the inside wiring. This will enable the alarm panel to send alarms (and tests) but will not allow it to preempt other telephone devices.
To restore the preemption functionality of the alarm system, you should feed your Vonage dial tone to the outside connection of the alarm panel, rather than backfeeding it through the house jacks.
If you understand this and can follow these directions, then you do not need to pay an outside technician to do it for you.
