The OP provided the model number of the VOIP device in the room. I have used similar devices and others on this thread have installed similar devices.

"An RJ45 to RJ11 converter cable is designed to connect your RJ11 devices such as analog phones, answering machines, fax machines etc. through a VoIP RJ45 Ethernet port. Since the RJ11 only uses four wires, it will only work with 10/100 Ethernet. 1 Gigabit Ethernet requires the use of eight wires or leads. Jun 27, 2023"
If these adapters don't function as stated above, why are thousands of people buying them from Amazon? I cannot believe that these people are not using them to connect and use a regular analog phone to an ethernet jack. I used one myself when I had a VOIP phone service. I do agree that it is possible that the proprietary system used by the assisted living facility could prevent the adapter from working for security reasons.
