The Alarm Receiver in Asterisk only does the Contact Id Format, if that
will suffice for you. You would then need a FXO (Foreign Exchange
Office) device to connect to a telephone line or a FXS (Foreign Exchange
Station)to connect to a phone set or panel etc. By far the easiest to
use would be the IAXY (FXS) from digium.com. You should be able to
connect your panel directly to it.
