"Analog" line refers to a standard 600ohm-48v line as opposed to a VoIP
(data)line.
"Local loop" refer to the analog circuit, the loop being the circuit that is
set up between the local exchange when the telephone goes off-hook (it
completes the circuit and thus
draws current)
Your alarm should be connected to the local loop via a special jack (RJ31X)
This is designed to disconnect any phones from the circuit should the alarm be
activated
This is so no one can cripple the alarm by calling in,calling out or (in the
case of an "inside job")
leaving the phone off the hook. IF you have DSL on this line it will also
disconnect the data connection.
These alarms can only use analog lines unless the jack is rewired.
Hope this makes things a little more understandable.
