Check the white and green wires to the keypad for an open or a short. They keypad is not talking to the M1.

Is your keypad old enough to be a teenager!

Actually I also believe you can see if the keypad is "registered" with the Elk M1 via the configuration software.

But why am I still able to arm/disarm it?

Thanks!

He doesn't but he does.

on the elk, the "FAIL TO COMMUNICATE" on a keypad indicates a phone fault. it tried to call your alarm company (for a periodic report or something) and couldn't get through. update elkRP to force it to do another periodic report and make sure the panel can call the alarm company

This is why they pay me the big bucks here on CT, intuition! (I can fix a problem before you even state what it is)

Just kidding of course. I'm just (hopefully) remembering past posts of his.

EDIT:

I got it now. I'm sorry, I didn't mention I have an ELK M1 in my post. Apology to everyone!

And doesn't everyone on Cocoontech have an ELK????? I remembered he had one from a few months ago.

It worked after making ELK call my cell. Thanks again!
