Accessing M1 over secure port with Perl

[anket]

Using the "[How-To] Control an Elk M1 via External Perl Scripting" instructions for setting up encrypted communications with the ELK M1, I installed the necessary perl modules (ElkM1-Control, IO-Socket-SSL, and Net-SSLeay) but was unable to get the system to respond over port 2601.

Tips on how to troubleshoot this issue will be greatly appreciated. (By the way, the system responds over 2101 without any problems.)

Anklet:

You can use OpenSSL to troubleshoot SSL communications with the M1. Just connect to the panel like this:

openssl s_client -connect YOUR_ELK_IP:2601

Refer to Elk's M1 RS232 protocol manual for details regard the messages to and from the panel.
