ELK-M1XEP Installation Manual

Note: Internet monitoring requires support from the central station. Software is required at the central
station to capture alarm codes from the Control. Please contact your central station and Elk Products
for further information.
The M1XEP will support Central Station Internet Monitoring in the future. The "Central Station" tab is where the
central station IP addresses and ports that are used for Internet monitoring are entered. This information is
provided by the central station. For each central station that is entered on this screen, an associated "Telephone"
must be created and set to format 6 in ElkRP. C.S. 1 is associated with Telephone 1, C.S. 2 is associated with
Telephone 2. etc.
6. Setup of DDNS (future)
To connect to the Control over a network, you need to know the IP address (or URL) assigned to the M1XEP. If the
M1XEP has been programmed with a static (non-changing) IP address, it makes the task simple. On the other
hand, if the M1XEP is programmed to obtain a dynamic IP (changing) address from a DHCP server, the IP address
can change often. This is where a Dynamic DNS (DDNS) provider comes into play. It allows you to alias a
dynamic (changing) IP address to a permanent (non-changing) URL.
If you happen to be using a network router with built in DDNS support, then you should definitely configure the
router to update the DDNS provider. Reference the router's documentation or contact the manufacturer of the router
for configuration instructions and information regarding which DDNS service providers are supported by the router.
FUTURE: For installations without a router or where the router does not support DDNS, the M1XEP will eventually
support DDNS updates.
