General Description and Operation
C1M1 mounts easily inside the 14" or 28" ELK-M1 metal
enclosures. (ELK-SWB14 or ELK-SWB28) Both provide a
knockout for the cellular antenna as well as a screw hole and
zip-tie basket handle for permanent mounting. C1M1 is shipped
with a screw-on dipole antenna.
C1M1 operational status is displayed via 3 discrete LED indicators
along with a seven (7) segment display.
Only 3 wiring connections are needed to complete the installation.
These are: Serial cable to the M1 RS232 Main Port 0, 12VDC
power from the M1 Aux. power output, and a CAT5/6 network
cable (not supplied) to the premise's IP (LAN) network router.
An optional USB port (type "B" mini) is conveniently available
on the C1M1 for connection of a local PC. This allows ElkRP
software to be used for local programming of the M1 Control.

Applications and Overview
The C1M1 4GSM 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 configured to send full data messages using
Internet (IP) as the primary pathway and Cellular as backup. It may also be configured for single path operation in situations where
one of the paths (IP or Cellular) is not available. In the dual path configuration the C1M1 will automatically report the temporary outage
of either pathway over the remaining pathway. Periodic automatic test reports configured 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.
