If you have always wondered what the M1XEP ethernet interface offers, then here is your chance to take it for a test drive. Elk is now letting visitors to their website log in to the XEP interface connected to a live M1 alarm system. Check it out here:

Keep in mind that the M1XEP offers many other interesting features as well.

From what I can tell this demo shows you what how ELK RP (seperate software program to buy) would work/look like using the M1XEP to connect to the M1 over ethernet.

I have a M1XEP module and it doesn't do that!

I think you are confusing this software with Elk RM. Every M1XEP offers this web interface, you just have to configure it through Elk RP.

Yep, indeed I am confusing it with Elk RM.

That being said, I am able to connect the M1XEP to the control and have done some configuring. I have not seen how to get to this type of interface. What am I missing?

simply point your web browser to the IP address of your XEP, and the java interface should load. Make sure you configured a user account, and that you have the java engine installed.

Didn't seem to work for me with Firefox..works with IE which I try to avoid using.

Perhaps I need a java plug or something for Firefox..with IE I got the popup asking if I confirmed but not with Firefox..perhaps its my popup blocker.

works here as well, you definitely need to make sure that your java engine is configured in firefox as well.
