    Thats great too hear. I think if licensing is not an issue then I too would prefer to use a VM to host CQC. Backups and snapshotting are done by one of our systems administrators so if I did screw anything up it is great to know I can simply roll back the server to before I made any changes...

Thanks Work2Play we do that for some machines I have just found it to be a little unreliable. We hard-set a VM MAC but the license was still having issues, I'm not sure if the license was looking at something other than the MAC address too. You are right though I would much rather use...

    "The physical machine I could use has 16 G Ram and 4 Core CPU so would definitely do the job" Those are the specs for the spare physical machine I have.. The host for VMware is an enterprise ESX host. Sorry for the confusion

Cool. Thanks for all your info.

Very true but the VmWare setup we have here is enterprise scale and would offer the best resources imaginable. I would prefer to use it if possible as we have a team of people maintaining it. The physical machine I could use has 16 G Ram and 4 Core CPU so would definitely do the job

Thats good to hear, it's always good to know there others in the same boat. We mainly run VmWare infrastructure here so most likely i would install the system on Server 2008 R2 on a virtual machine. In the past there have been issues with licensing linked to MAC addresses and in a virtual...

Thanks Mate. I was actually just looking at one of your setup demo videos. I think I will give it a shot. There is no issue adding that many M1 units?

I previously managed this with Elve and spent two years building an interface with temperature, logging security control, fire alarm control etc. Since Elve seems to have died completely and I cannot get any response...

If you connect via telnet to the m1xep over port 2101 you will see the broadcast from the M1XEP, this includes responses to requests and zone status updates etc

+1 for trying a different PC, Also try a new patch lead to the M1XEP I have seen faulty patch leads causing issues like this. While you are doing this plug the M1XEP into a different port on your Router

Hi All. I have been a member for a while but have not had much time to post. I live in Australia and work as a buildings automation engineer. My home setup consists of a Ness (elk) M1 Gold integrated with x-10 for the lighting. I have "modified" a number of remote controls so I can control my...

Not that I have ever been able to find unfortunately, but you should be able to see whether there was an " Area Alarmed" Log entry which will tell you if the alarm was set or not..
