What you need to do
- Talk to your monitored fire alarm provider about your options for migrating your fire alarm to the nbn™ access network, or another network, prior to the disconnection of your current service.
- Identify the phone number used by your fire alarm.
- Register your service with nbn's Fire Alarm and Lift Emergency Phone Register. Valid registrations (with a valid service phone number) will help nbn identify where assistance with migration may be needed. Registration to nbn's Fire Alarm and Lift Emergency Phone Register is free.
- Once you have asked your monitored fire alarm provider for advice about options to migrate your fire alarm, you will need to decide which option to install.
- If additional cabling work is required to migrate your fire alarm, you will need to organise a registered cabler to do this.
- Once the alarm has been migrated, work with your monitored fire alarm provider, and equipment providers, to make sure everything is working properly.
- Once migration is successfully tested, ask your monitored fire alarm provider to notify nbn that the service has been migrated.
