Elk M1G, Duress Codes

Just want to confirm I am setting this up correctly, to enable a duress disarm code (using ElkRP): 
 
1) Add a user for duress, and check the Duress box (plus arm and disarm, etc, i.e. otherwise normal user) 
 
2) Under Area RC set the Duress line to 01, enabling a CID of 121.
 
Specifically my question relates to the User RC's.  Does the Duress user get a normal open/close code there, or is something special supposed to go there.  I think it is normal (01 gives CID 401).
 
Yes, I'm aware of the dangers of using this code.  Still thinking about whether to leave it set up, but I want to know that I can set it up correctly.
 
 
Normal O/C would transmit the CID user in addition to the standard event codes for the O/C. The E121 would follow the O/C event code in the raw data. How the CS automation software translates all of this and prioritizes would be another item, but generally the E121 would override the O/C report, though it would be a tagalong event.
 
Realistically the user does not need an O/C code. Easy enough to determine the duress code sent the signal.
