what is the alarm port on the xb7 modem?

I have the xb7 modem. the technical description says that one port on the back is an "alarm port". What does that mean?

It's used for interfacing with their Comcast home security systems if the customer happens to have one.

A manual on the gateway says:

The Tel RJ-11 ports support two traditional phones or DECT base station to connect to the Gateway. Single line customers can use the Tel 2/Alarm port to connect an auto dial alarm system.

How that's different from simply saying "the device has two phone jacks", I do not know.
