ELK M1G connect problem

Yup. On main RP screen after opening account, lower right corner. Click on M1XEP Setup, then TCP/IP tab. Choose Static IP and enter all the info.

Just make sure that any static addresses you use are outside of any dynamically issued addresses (i.e. outside the range of addresses that your DHCP server is set up to serve up.)

hmmm...i am having similar problem as ron had. i loaded the elk ip driver and have it set to the unsecure port, 2101. i have also used the ip address listed in the account details page in ELKRP. i have tried to connect will both ELKRP open and close. each time i get a there is a "Wait for Comm Resource" message. In the logs it says

"Driver 'ELK' is trying to get its comm resource
Connect Operation Failed. Tried to connect to 192.168.1.106:2101.

all i did was load the elk driver. Running ELKRP V1.6.24 (the latest) and firmware is 4.5.28.

is there something else i need to do in ELKRP or CQC to properly setup the connection?

That means that either there's nothing there at that address, or it cannot be connected to, or you are running the ElkRP software and it's currently connected to the Elk (which will keep it from responding correctly to CQC until you disconnect.)

You also, as documented in the driver docs for the Elk, have to turn on certain notifications, but that probably wouldn't prevent a connection.

i just when to my IE7 browser and connected to 192.168.1.106. its my M1EXP alright. so the ip address is correct. ELKRP software is not running.

here's a question on the port. on the Account Details page, it is showing the correct IP address. The port shows up as 2601 which is the secure port. if i change this to 2101 on the account details page the m1exp will not connect to the M1. shift it back to 2601 and it connects.

under the M1EXP page setup as follows.

when i try to connect via the cqc elk driver the port 2101 is selected and i enter the 192.168.1.106 address and cqc reads back 192.168.1.106:2101

elk driver setup page:



is there something to change on the m1exp setup page?


EDIT: found the issue. after i enabled the unsecure port on M1EXP setup page, i did not send the changes to the M1. i saved changes, but i did not search for conflicts. when i searched for conflicts, the M1EXP settings showed up. sync'd ELKRP with the M1 then unloaded and reloaded the ELk driver and Viola!...magic occured and the driver connected. dang...good news, bad news--i was a knucklehead but now i am better.
