functions described in this manual may not be available.
About M1XEP With “New” Version 2 Firmware
Version 2 firmware adds some exciting and noteworthy changes to an
M1XEP Ethernet Interface. An extended list of email service providers are
now supported, including some with SSL/TLS encryption requirements.
This version also supports M1Cloud remote services available through our
M1Cloud partners. In light of the functionality available through ELK's free
M1ToGo software, third-party apps for smart devices, and M1Cloud services,
we have removed the out of date Java based web server user interface from
the Version 2 firmware. For details on email enhancements, see page 9. For
information on remote control options, see page 16.
