[Hai-users] HAI panel - IP communicator compatibility questions/ suggestions

[Brad]

Maybe I don't understand your concern fully, but doesn't this say it will do 
what you want?

Q: My security system lets me call into it and do things like arm it, disarm 
it, or listen into the room using my telephone. With ABN, will I still be 
able to call my security system?
 A: Yes. ABN provides a special phone number - the ABN Outside Access 
Point - which you can call at any time, enter your customer number (and a 
private PIN code), and be dialed into to your security system as if it were 
connected to a regular telephone line.
