Unmonitored Elk M1G - disabling central station

[polldav]

I have an Elk M1G which I use for some automation and basic security. I don't pay anyone for monitoring - I just have it set up to email me (and text message me via email) whenever there is a security problem. 
 
If I accidentally set off the alarm, the keypad will show a "fail to communicate" indefinitely until I power cycle the Elk system. This is because there is no information in the central station configuration because I do not pay anyone for monitoring.
 
Does anyone know if there is a kind of dummy value I can enter in the Central Station/IP Address config, or some other way to turn this off? I can't turn off notifications completely because I still want to get emails myself when there is an event, and I can't see out any other way to disable the message. 
 
Thanks!

Do you have the telephone dialer function set to "disable" in Menu 8, Option 01?  I think that will do it.

I think you are talking about the Telephone 1 setup - on my system it is set as my ethernet adapter, which is I think what allows me to receive email messages. The settings I see in the ElkRP2 program are below. I don't think I want to set it to disabled because then I wouldn't get any emailed alerts - and I assume dialing attempts in this case somehow translates into email connection attempts or something.

No. That is incorrect.
 
The reporting and email you receive is via rules, not an Ethernet comms route.

Alright I'll try disabling it. If I ever actually want to get it monitored, would I have to set it up again like this? Or is the screenshot I showed just completely wrong and never useful? 
 
Edit: nevermind, once I delete the telephone and reboot, the Central Station screen specifically tells me I would have to do that, heh. 
 
Thanks for your help!
