The vonage adapter takes the place of your NID in term of how you connect it. You should seriously consider putting the adapter on a UPS if you are going to rely on that connection for your security system.

I Have Vonage And Adt. If You Have Tested The Sysytem With Adt Or You Are Getting Com Failure, Make Sure You Have The Router Plugged Into A Home Jack That Is Before The Line Going To Your Panel. If It Is Connected Any Other Way It Will Not Dial Out!!!

Can you explain that a little more?

Basically, for this to work right, the dialtone needs to come out of your adaptor, go into the alarm panel, then return on a second pair of wires to feed the rest of the house telephones. Otherwise, taking a phone off of the hook can prevent the panel from calling out.
