Sorry for my ignorance, but I am trying to answer your questions. I'm not a professional as I'm sure is obvious, just a struggling homeowner. It may help to know that the system was installed by a professional, and has been working great for over a year (except this cutout timer issue). I've...

my M1XEP boot version is 2.0.2, and FW is 2.0.30   I don't understand the question " Which outputs are you verifying". The alarm goes off, usually motion, and doesn't ever time out until we disarm it.   I have 2 sirens on the system, plus I believe there is a built in alarm as part of the panel...

Sorry, not sure I understand your questions. - Zone type: I have 30 some zones/sensors, all hard wired. We have them for doors, windows, motion. If any of these can be tripped and the alarm goes off, and never times out or shuts off. Alarm just keeps going until someone disarms - verification...

I'm trying to set the cutoff timer so that when the alarm sounds, it will only ring for say 2 minutes and then stop. In ElkRP (using version V2.0.24) on the "Cutoff Timers" tab, I set timer #1, BurgDuration, to 120 seconds. This has no affect and the alarm goes indefinitely until someone disarms...

Thanks guys! First I checked port 2601, and that showed the port was open. Then I updated the primary and secondary DNS server, and that did the trick. Awesome! When I was typing in the new values, I realized the addresses in there were 192.168.0.1, which is not what I'd had in the past that was...

I had everything working fine for nearly a year, including emails sent from M1XEP, and remote access via Keypad Pro. Then Keypad Pro quit working when I updated my phone to lollipop, so I switched to M1 touch. Also discovered my dyndns.com account had expired so I renewed that. Now I've...

Thanks for your help BSR, got it working now.

I pinged my dyndns hostname and it returned the ip address to my router, so that seems to be working.   Regarding what is updating my current IP to dyndns, I filled out the "Dynamic DNS" tab on the M1XEP setup screen. Is that updating dyndns with my latest IP?   I'm confused about the username...

Also, I have forwarded port 2601, and using a port forwarding tester that test fine.

I'm having difficulty getting myKeypad to connect to my M1. My isp is Comcast which does not provide fixed ip, so I've opened a dyndns account and have a unique hostname from them. I assume that's what I should enter when myKeypad prompts for "hostname"?   For port, I entered 2601 and checked...

Good info, thanks.

Thanks all. I think I understand what's going on now.   Also, I discovered the DNS servers on my router's status page were not the Comcast DNS servers because during the router set up I enabled something D-Link calls advanced DNS service. This is a free security option they claim provides...

When I run "ipconfig /all" I get a single DNS server and its the same as the default gateway and DHCP server, 192.168.0.1 There is no secondary DNS listed. I'm a newbie at this, but it seems like a pc on my home network is using the router dns server (same as gateway and dhcp server) and then...

I'm trying to make sure I have the proper setting on the TCP/IP tab for the M1XEP. My ISP is Comcast, with a cable modem. I have a D-Link router.   I'm using static IP with these settings: IP Address: 192.168.0.248 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1   For DNS I don't know...

Elk support helped me with the problem, turns out I needed to set DPI to "smaller - 100%" and that fixed it.   Thanks for your help.
