Elk installation manual Using the Virtual Keypad Application, ELK-M1XEP Installation Manual

Using the Virtual Keypad Application

In order to access the M1XEPs built-in web application "M1 Virtual Keypad" your computer must have the current Java application software (at the time this manual was released the current version was 1.5.0) . There is no charge for this software and it may be downloaded and installed from www.java.com.

Note: A connection with ElkRP overrides any "M1 Virtual Keypad" connection. If ElkRP is already connected to the control and you attempt to establish a connection with the "M1 Virtual Keypad", you will receive a message upon entering the user code on the Welcome screen, stating that the M1 is busy or unavailable.

If a connection with the "M1 Virtual Keypad" is already established and ElkRP connects to the control, the "M1 Virtual Keypad" will display "Please Wait... Panel has entered programming mode." The "M1 Virtual Keypad" screen will be restored to normal when ElkRP disconnects from the control.

1.If the M1XEP has just been powered up, please allow up to 1 minute for it to boot (start-up).

2.Open a PC web browser and type in the following address: "http://<ip address>" where <ip address> represents the IP address of the M1XEP. If unsure of the M1XEP's IP address setting, it can be discovered by clicking the 'Find' button on the M1XEP Setup screen in ElkRP. The current IP address will appear in the third column of the "Find M1XEPs" screen. This procedure is handy when using DHCP, as the IP address is dynamic and may change each time the M1XEP is power cycled. Type the IP address into your browser and press enter.
