hi, thanks for using JA:

The correct answer is B, RJ31X. RJ11 is for phone use, network card is for using with a computer, FCC approved installation-not needed in this case. If you want more information, please, see the link outlined bellow:

hi

Yes, actually, it cannot be a network card, because a network card as a diferent plug from a residental phone system line. So the real problem is choosing from RJ11 or RJ31X. RJ11 cannot be used for an alarm system.

The rj31x is not a standard telephone jack, and connecting anything other than alarm equipment will cause damage to the jack or equipment.

It sure that the correct answer is rj31x.
