Essential Info

If you have an Elk M1 Gold Security System in place in your home, now you can access your system from the Internet, via any web browser, for remote programming, monitoring, control, and email. The M1 Ethernet Port Expander and Interface is an Ethernet Device Server with a RS-232 Serial Port Interface. It may be used to connect a Control in the M1 Family to an Ethernet network using TCP-IP protocol. The M1 Ethernet Port Expander/Interface connects to the M1 Gold via the included serial port cable. If desired, you can connect the M1 Ethernet Port Expander/Interface to your LAN switch or router by connecting a network patch cable through the unit's RJ45 8-pin network jack.

To access and control your M1 Gold remotely, access the configured IP address and enter your user name and password. The screen it will pull up offers buttons that may be used to access the automation functions the M1 Gold controls, such as lighting, climate, and outputs. When, for example, you click the "Lighting" button, the screen populates itself with the names and current status of any lighting devices that can be controlled by the M1 Gold. Additional buttons will work in a similar fashion.

The following software and apps allow access and control of an ELK M1 Security System from a variety of devices. Remote access to M1 from any of these applications requires the ELK-M1XEP Ethernet interface.
  • M1ToGo - M1ToGo provides computer-based, internet remote access to your M1 from anywhere in the world. (Windows XP, Vista, 7)
  • eKeypad - A family of native iPhone applications that provides wireless control of your Elk M1 using any Apple iPhone or iTouch device. (iPhone/ iPad/ iPod Touch)

  • More Info

    The ELK-M1XEP features a secure embedded web server, with a user interface built on a Java applet, and email event notification. A software setup utility is built into ElkRP (version 1.5.0 or later) for configuring the connection setup, network password, etc. The M1XEP is factory defaulted to obtain a dynamic IP address from a DHCP server (i.e. Ethernet switch, cable modem, etc.), however it may also be setup with a static IP address. By installing the M1 Ethernet Port Expander/Interface, you'll also be adding an event notification system to your security. Upon a breach of your home's security, the M1 Gold can be configured to send an email to up to 16 different email addresses. Additional M1 Gold accessories are sold separately.

    CHRISTINE -- roswell, GA   8/11/2011
    Overpriced, but the only option for ethernet control for the Elk. It's essentially a serial port to ethernet bridge, with some extra control logic.
    MARK -- gladewater, TX   2/28/2011
    Works as advertised. Easy to set up.
    JILL -- lake zurich, IL   1/5/2010
    Easy install and it provides many useful functions. Updates and programming are made easier. As many others have reported, the email notification feature is not working for me. Using "eK M1" app for iPhone to control and it's better than the web access that's included.
    BRADLEY -- san marcos, CA   8/17/2009
    Worked like a charm immediately after installing it.
    BRENT -- bakersfield, CA   4/23/2009
    Great product. Makes programming a breeze! New upgradable firmware available.
    LOUIS -- west lake hills, TX   3/7/2009
    Works exactly as advertised. It connected easily to the m1gold and to my home network. The RP software found it easily and the built in webserver allows control of the alarm and home automation as it should.
    LUIS -- san ysidro, CA   12/1/2008
    Easy to configure but you need some computer network knowledge!
    PAUL -- charlotte, NC   2/21/2008
    Good unit. My only problems were the unit needed an additional interface board for the M1EZ8 and upgrading the firmware is a little complicated. This unit is a MUCH better way to program the main system.
    TimC -- Raleigh NC   5/31/2011
    Hardly works. Requires frequent manual power resetting to connect. Loses connection randomly Does not allow communications while alarm is sounding. E-mail does not work. Latest firmware updates applied does not fix problems. What a piece of junk.
    STEVEN -- lilburn, GA   4/4/2007
    IMHO a must have for the M1EZ8. Makes quick work of complex programming and automation, unlocking the true power of the Elk systems. Have not yet gotten the email notification function working yet though.
    CHRIS -- atlanta, GA   12/27/2006
    Works like a charm.
    WILLIAM -- san diego, CA   10/13/2006
    This makes access to the system much more convenient.
    BRUCE -- newark, CA   8/13/2005
    Impressive product. Makes setup and mangement of the M1 system extremely simple.
