Applications and Overview
The C1M1 LTEA ElkCommBd is a dual path alarm communications device for use with the ELK-M1G Control family. It is the ideal
solution for backing up or replacing old fashioned phone line communcations. C1M1 is congured to send full data messages using
Internet (IP) as the primary pathway and Cellular as backup. It may also be congured for single path operation in situations where
one of the paths (IP or Cellular) is not available. In the dual path conguration it can be optionally programmed to detect temporary
outage of either pathway after a selectable time delay and report that outage over the remaining pathway. Periodic automatic test
reports congured in the M1 will be sent over both pathways for ultimate reliability and peace of mind. All communications between
the C1M1 and the Central Monitoring Station is encrypted and secure.
Service and Setup
Cellular service is handled via a cooperative partnership between Elk and Telguard Online. Telguard is a division of Telular® Corporation,
an industry pioneer and leader in cellular alarm communications. Activation and setup will be handled through the Telguard Online
website. Once a unit has been activated, management of the Central Station reporting parameters and paths is handled through the
ElkLink website. Installing Dealers will need an online account for both websites. Existing Telguard Installing Dealers can use the
same account and login credentials they already have.

HARDWARE OVERVIEW
7 Segment Display
Sequentially displays 1 character at a time to
reveal: Signal Strength, Error Codes, IP Address.
Data is grouped in short packets with a key letter
prex. It also displays communications activity.
bbars of cell signal - The letter is followed by a
single digit from 0 to 5.
Example: b 3 reveals 3 bars of service.
EErrors - The letter is followed by two digits.
Examples of error codes are:
E01 = Application not loaded
E0 2 = Radio Module Power Fail
E0 3 = No SIM card installed.
E0 4 = Inactive Unit
E0 5 = Low (Poor) Signal Strength
E0 6 = No Service or unregistered on Cell
Network
E0 7 = Unable to communicate with M1
E0 8 = Cellular radio module not detected
E0 9 = No Internet Service (LAN detected)
E1 0 = No LAN detected (check cable)
E1 1 = Central Station not congured in
ElkLink
E1 2 = CS Receiver failed to respond
E1 3 = No DHCP Server found
AAddress - The LAN IP address is displayed
1 character at a time during the rst 2
minutes after power up. C1M1 supports
IPv4 addresses. These consist of 4 octets
having a value of 0 to 255. Each octet will be
separated by a decimal point.
Example: A 1 9 2 . 1 6 8 . 0 . 1 0 0
NOTE: CS reports will take priority over the
LAN IP display which can make it di󰀩cult to
view the address sequentially during power
up. If needed the LAN IP display may be
manually restarted by removing the cover
from the C1M1 and pressing the small tamper
switch button 5 times quickly. Always replace
the cover when done.

Step 1: Establish Telguard dealer account
(This is a one-time event and may be skipped if you are already a registered Telguard Online Customer)
Important: Registration must be completed prior to Installation of any devices. Please setup your Telguard registration from
the convenience of your o󰀩ce at least 1 day or more prior to physical installation. Do not wait until you arrive on the customer
job site to do this very important step!
To register with Telguard Online go to: www.telguardonline.com
Select the Dealer Sign-up.
Fill out the form in its entirety and click next.
Read and accept the services agreement.
You may also signup by contacting Telguard Customer Service at 678-945-1651. Within 1 business day you should receive an
acknowledgment/approval of you Dealer account form. This acknowledgment will include a Dealer Account Number that should be
used for all Telguard registrations.
Step 2: Establish ElkLink dealer
(This is a one-time event and may be skipped if you are already a registered ElkLink Customer)
Important: Please setup your ElkLink registration from the convenience of your oce at least 1 day or more prior to physical
installation. Do not wait until you arrive on the customer job site to do this very important step!
Even though the cellular service for C1M1 is provided by Telguard, you must also establish and maintain a ElkLink account with Elk
Products. Your ElkLink account will be used for setup and programming of the Central Station parameters.
To establish an ElkLink account contact Elk Products and ask for Customer or Techical Service. When asked to choose your ElkLink
Customer number we recommend using the same number you already use for your Telguard Account. This will help make things
simpler and eliminate the need to remember multiple numbers.
The C1M1 can only be activated after all the necessary accounting information has been entered into the customer database in the
Telguard Communication Center, and after the Central Station information has been entered into the ElkLink database.
Step 3: Signal Strength Test
Always check the cellular signal strength in the proposed mounting location prior to permanent attachment. This can be done by
temporarily powering up the C1M1 and holding it close to the proposed location while monitoring the bars of signal. A minimum of b2
is suggested. CAUTION: Do not rely on your smartphone for the signal strength! It displays voice signal strength instead
of data signal strength. Voice is not the same as Data!
3.1. Connect the 12VDC inputs on the C1M1 to a 12VDC power source or 12V battery. Be careful to observe polarity.
3.2. Within 30 seconds the device should boot up and display information on the 7 segment display. This includes bars of service
and likely several "E" (error) codes. The error codes are listed on page 2.
The green CELL light should illuminate if su󰀩cient cellular service can be obtained. The bars of service will display as a lower
case "b" followed by a number from 0 to 5. More bars are always best, and we recommended choosing a mounting location that
provides at least 2 bars or better. This will help ensure reliable cellular service. If the location where the M1 is mounted cannot
provide at least 2 bars of service, we recommend relocating everything to a better location OR substituting a good quality remote
antenna in place of the dipole antenna that is supplied with the unit. Remote Cellular antennas are available from many sources
and can be found in varying lengths of cable.
3.3. Once a suitable mounting location has been found, proceed to the physical installation and wiring of the unit to the M1 Control.
Consider the following prior to permanent mounting:
- Do not mount in an area where persons might regularly come within 20cm (8 inches) of the antenna.
- The best location for a cellular communicator is generally in the highest point of a building or a location with the fewest number
of walls between the unit and the closest cell tower.
- Try to avoid mounting the unit near any other electronic devices that might cause interference.
- The included antenna is intended for indoor installations only.
- Always place the unit so that its antenna is perpendicular to the ground, either right side up or upside down. NEVER mount it
with the antenna positioned horizontally.

ELKC1M1 LTEA ElkCommBd Communicator Page 5
Step 4: Mounting and Connecting to the M1 Control.
C1M1 is designed to be mounted in the top right corner of the M1 Control Enclosure. Be sure to perform a radio signal strength test
PRIOR to permanent mounting of the M1 Control or the C1M1.
Mounting
4.1. From the inside install the supplied #6 x 3/8 self tapping mounting screw in the hole centered just above the top right knockout
of the M1 enclosure. Leave the screw sticking out 1/16". The keyhole slot on the back of the C1M1 will slide onto this screw.
4.2. Remove the 1/2" antenna knockout on the top and right side of the enclosure (just above the mounting screw location).
4.3. Hold the C1M1 at about a 5 degree angle and thread its antenna up and through the top antenna knockout. While doing so,
move the unit to the right until the keyhole slot on the back engages the mounting screw. Slide the unit over and down onto the
screw.
4.4 The bottom of the C1M1 will straddle a basket handled designed for attachment of wiring with a zip-tie. After all testing has been
completed use the included zip-tie to nal x the unit to this basket handle.
Wiring Connections
4.4 Make certain the M1 and C1M1 are not powered on while making any connections.
4.5. Connect a two-conductor Red/ Black power cable from the Positive and Negative input terminals on the C1M1 to the Positive
and Negative output terminals of one of the Auxiliary Power outputs on the M1 Control. Be mindful to observe proper polarity.
4.6. Plug the supplied 3-wire serial cable (black cable with white 3-pin connector and 9 pin serial connector) into the C1M1 and then
into the main serial port #0 on the upper right edge of the M1 Control.
4.7. Connect a Cat5/5E RJ45 terminated LAN cable (not supplied) from the C1M1 to the Customer's LAN switch or router.
4.8. Make sure all connections including the screw-on dipole antenna are correct and secure. Turn on the M1 Control power. The
C1M1 should power up.
4.9. Observe the C1M1 LEDs and the 7 segment display for activity. The unit will immediately attempt to obtain an IPv4 address via
DHCP from the customer's LAN router, and display that IP address during the rst few minutes after power application.
Example: A 1 9 2 . 1 6 8 . 0 . 1 0 0

Step 7: Program the M1 for IP Communications via the C1M1
Setting up and programming the M1 parameters necessary for communications using the C1M1 may be done from the Keypad
Installer Level programming or from the ElkRP † Programming Software.
7.1. M1 Keypad Installer Level Programming
From the M1 Keypad enter the Installer Level Programming mode by pressing ELK, 9, RIGHT Arrow, and then entering the
Installer Programming code. Navigate to Menu 08, Telephone Account Setup and press the RIGHT arrow key to select. The rst
screen shows the name currently assigned for Tel #1. A customized name is not required. Use the DOWN or UP arrow keys to
scroll and view each menu option. Press the RIGHT arrow key to select and program the desired option.
Telephone #1 - This is the one and only telephone number that MUST be programmed in order to use the C1M1.
Program each option as follows:
7.1.1. Program option 01 (Format) as "06 = Ethernet". This is required for M1 IP communications.
7.1.2. Program option 02 (Priority) as "0 = Always Report".
7.1.3. Skip option 03 (Num) but set option 04 (Dial Attempts) to at least 01.
7.1.4. Program the Areas (partitions) to be identied at the Central Station by entering a non-zero number (e.g. 009999,
000001, etc) into the respective Acct code locations (Options 05 thru 12, Acct # for Areas 1 - 8). The C1M1 will not report
an area if the acct number is blank (000000). NOTE: The actual Account Number which identies the M1 Customer to
the Central Station is programmed and stored in the C1M1 via the ElkLink web portal. C1M1 reports that single Acct
number and includes extended information that identies the area (partition) to the Central Station.
7.1.5. Program option 13 as "Yes" if you wish to enable reporting of Zone Alarms, Zone Restorals, and Zone unbypasses.
7.1.6. Program option 14 as "Yes" if you wish to enable reporting of Zone Bypasses.
7.1.7. Program option 15 as "Yes" if you wish to enable reporting of Zone Troubles.
7.1.8. Program option 16 as "Yes" if you wish to enable reporting of User Openings and Closings.
7.1.9. Program option 17 as "Yes" if you wish to enable reporting of Global System (AC, Low Battery, etc.) events.
NOTE: Telephone or "dialed" number is the legacy method used by M1 for communicating alarms. Of the available
8 telephone numbers in the M1 only Telephone #1 is required as part of the process for enabling C1M1 Cellular and
IP communications. The other 7 numbers can still be used for digital or voice dialing if the client still has a working
POTS (plain old telephone) line. In that case Telephone #2 could be setup and utilized as a digital dialer backup for
the C1M1 should it ever be unsuccessful in reaching the Central Station. Keep in mind that since C1M1 is a Dual Path
Communicator, it backs up itself using one of its two di󰀨erent communications pathways (IP and Cellular).
Reporting Codes - Menus 09, 10, 11, 12, and 13. Each of these Menus lists reporting codes grouped by catagory.
7.1.10. Program each reporting code (Zone, User, System Event, etc.) that needs to be reported by entering a non-zero value
(e.g. 01, 99, etc.) Reporting codes with a value of 00 will NOT be reported.
7.2. ElkRP Programming Software †
Download and install the ElkRP PC Programming Software from the Elk Products website. www.elkproducts.com Connect
to the M1 Control and program all necessary communications options. It will be necessary to create a new (blank) client M1
account in ElkRP unless you have previously used ElkRP to program this M1 Control.
With the C1M1 connected to the M1 Control there are two ways to connect ElkRP with the M1. #1 is for a Local connect,
#2 is for Remote connect.
1) Local Connect - Utilizes a USB (Serial A to USB Mini B) cable from the PC to the USB port on C1M1. In ElkRP select On-site Local from the
connection dropdown then select: PC USB Port TO Device USB (if available). Almost all modern computers now have a USB port and this
method does not disrupt or interfere with the C1M1 connection to M1 serial Port 0.
2) Remote connect - This utilizes Elk's Cloud Proxy server. In ElkRP select Network Proxy from the connection dropdown. A login window will
open. Enter your ElkLink login credentials. You will be given an option to save these credentials in the account database for future use.
Older "legacy" ElkRP methods that are still supported:
A) Local IP connect from the PC via the customer's LAN to the C1M1 IP "LAN" port. ** This requires an option to be set in the C1M1 that allows
allows inbound IP connections via either secure or non-secure ports.
B) Local RS232 from the PC to the M1 serial Port 0. Unfortunately this require that the C1M1 be disconnected from Port 0 which will disrupt
and interfere for the duration of the ElkRP programming sessions and while the device remains disconnected.
† Not evaluated by UL

ELKC1M1 LTEA ElkCommBd Communicator Page 9
ATTENTION: ElkRP displays a setup button
for the Elk-M1XEP however there is no need
to select this or attempt to setup anything from
here. The setup for the C1M1 (IP address,
Acct number, Port, DNIS, etc.) is managed
through the ElkLink portal and obtained from
there by the C1M1.
Step 8: Test and Verify Alarm Signal Transmissions via Cellular, IP, or both
Trip several alarms on the M1 Control and verify that the central station receives them.
If you are having problems getting reliable alarm signal transmissions, additional adjustments may be necessary.
• Recheck signal strength. You need at least 2 bars of service [ b 2 ] to be assurred of reliable service.
• Check antenna connector and make sure it is screwed on and seated correctly.
This should complete the Installation and Programming of the C1M1 Communicator.
The C1M1 should now be operational.
Telephone #1 - This is the one and only telephone number that MUST be programmed in order to use the C1M1.
Use the ElkRP Software † to program each option as follows:
7.2.1. Open/create the account le for the M1 Control and connect ElkRP using one of the methods mentioned in the box previous.
With the account open select Telephones from the left hand column. If Telephone #1 does not already exist, choose New
(or right click the mouse button) and add it. If Telephone #1 already exists then select edit its settings.
7.2.2. Program the Priority for Telephone #1 as: "Always Report".
7.2.3. There is no need to program a Name for Telephone #1. This is optional and may be skipped.
7.2.4. Program the Format for Telephone #1 as: IP (6)
7.2.5. There is no need to program the Number to Dial but the Dial Attempts should be set to at least 01.
7.2.6 For each of the Reporting events (Alarms, Users, Globals, etc.) place a check mark in the adjacent box of those you wish
to have the C1M1 report.
7.2.7 ElkRP will present a list of 8 checkboxes for selecting the Areas (partitions) to be reported to the Central Station. The C1M1
will not report an area if the acct number box is not checked. NOTE: The actual Account Number which identies the M1
Customer to the Central Station is programmed and stored in the C1M1 via the ElkLink web portal. C1M1 reports that single
Acct number and includes extended information that identies the area (partition) to the Central Station.
7.2.8 If you wish to setup Telephone #2 as a digital dialer backup to Telephone #1, add or edit Telephone #2 and program it as
type: "Backup." Telephone #1 will be the primary means of communications and Telephone #2 will only be used as digital
dialer backup should Telephone #1 (C1M1) be unsuccessful. Dual reporting (to both) may also be selected by conguring
the Type for both numbers as: "Always Report." Be aware that some Central Stations may charge additional fees for dual
reporting.
7.2.9 Select Communicator from the left hand column and review each of the di󰀨erent Reporting Codes (RCs) by category.
Program each reporting code (Zone, User, System Event, etc.) that needs to be reported by entering a non-zero value (e.g.
01, 99, etc.). Reporting codes with a value of 00 will NOT be reported.
7.2.10. Select the Send to Control button to program these settings. VERY IMPORTANT! ElkRP must be connected to the M1
Control in order to do this.

C1M1 NETWORK (Port) REQUIREMENTS: (Disregard when using C1M1 in cellular only mode)
It is not necessary to forward any inbound ports in your customer's router because C1M1 it initiates all network connections as
OUTBOUND from the customer premises. Customers who utilize a rewall to block ports, however, may need to adjust their rewall
to allow OUTBOUND connections on specic ports needed by C1M1.
Ports 3061 (or the appropriate port being used by the Central Station IP Receiver) must be opened to OUTBOUND UDP
connections. C1M1 requires this to communicate with the Central Station IP Receiver. IMPORTANT! Always verify what port(s)
that your Central Station is accepting for IP Communications. Then set the port in your ElkLink C1M1 account settings and in your
network router or rewall for OUTBOUND UDP connections. Occasionally this port might be 3071 or another value.
Port 8888 - This port must be opened to OUTBOUND TCP connections. C1M1 uses this port to communicate with the ElkLink
backend server, where the CS reporting parameters and general setup are stored and managed. If customer chooses to use
the free remote app, ElkLink Mobile, this same port also faciilitates that connectivity. The ElkLink Mobile connectivity may be
disabled, however, this port must still be opened or else the C1M1 will not be able to receive parameter changes.
Port 8899 may need to be opened to OUTBOUND TCP connections but only if the customer wishes to use ElkRP Remote
Programming or one of the third party mobile apps: eKeypad or M1TouchPro. C1M1 uses this port reach the ElkLink "proxy"
server that facilitates the proxy connectivity of these programs. Third part remote control and ElkRP Remote Programming over
network will be blocked if this port is not opened.
