I was looking over some of the Elk installation manuals and old posts here on ways to send a test signal using the Elk M1 Gold to the central station.
I would like to send a test communications signal once a day.
There is a section on the keypad programming that states:
but this looks to me like this option is only available via phone line monitoring and not IP (also interesting that I could not find a way to set this up in the RP software, but might have not been looking in the right place).
There is of course a heartbeat detection option in the XEP central station tab section of the Elk RP software, but I was wondering if there was another test alternative.

Auto Test code is used to verify that the telephone line and internal communications
circuitry is functioning properly. Range is 00 to FF. Default is 00 (no report).
Auto Test Hr:Min may be set to occur at any specific hour and minute, using military time
format. IE: 7:30 is AM, 19:30 is 7:30pm. Default is 00:00 (Midnight)
