Hi,   I lost my hard drive and didn't have a backup of my ELK RP files/settings.   I've reloaded the ELK RP software.  Is there a way to communicate with the ELK M1 and retrieve the current settings or do I need to re-enter them manually and start over?     Thanks in advance for any assistance.

I've decided to move forward with making my cellular communicator the primary for my Alarm Relay monitoring service. I've been up and running now for a couple of weeks and I am experiencing a lot of CO communication disruptions due to Internet downtime (3 times this past week); therefore, I feel...

Thanks for your suggestions.  I will check these out. BTW, I'm not getting any voice announcements either. My assumption is that this device will work as the main interior siren, I guess I need to confirm this.      

I connected the echo 73 speaker that came with the M1GSYS4 package to output 1.

Yeah I got that answer from my tech as well.  "IP communication is so unbelievably fast" I think was his exact words. They definitely seem to be pushing this service. I don't think its sales related because I was told by an AR sales person that the additional cellular charge is a pass through...

Thanks for the recap.    I got up and running with AR today as well. I signed up for internet monitoring via the M1EXP initially and I plan to migrate to the Uplink 4500EZ in the next few weeks (cellular as primary and internet as backup). It took less than 30 minutes total for my setup and I am...

I got my ELK M1 Gold setup today and working with Alarm Relay.  All is good except....    When doing the test with AR, I armed the system, opened and closed an entry door, and then opened a window (setup as Burglar Perimeter Instant) expecting an immediate siren and I got nothing. AR reported an...

Thanks for your replies. Very helpful.   I decided to go with the 4500EZ. The XSP is required to work with the 4500... correct?  I got conflicting info from Alarm Relay. I've read a little bit about the 4500 installation.  Apparently there is a special serial cable required. Any idea how to get...

Hello,   This is my first post and I'm a new user to the forum.    I've installed an ELK M1 Gold control panel in my new home and I am working to get the system operational to be monitored by Alarm Relay (most likely). I have an Ademco 7845iGSM cellular communicator from my older home that I...
