VERY IMPORTANT! 7. Update the firmware in the M1XSP to version 40.0.6 (or the latest 40.x.x version). This firmware can be downloaded from the Elk website.
  • Page 5 It is Elk's understanding that different models of SAM modules are available and that each model retains the Home Automation Connection (RS232) regardless of the interface technology. However, it is ultimately the responsibility of the Installer to make sure the correct SAM module is selected and that it includes the RS232 connection.
  • Page 6 Updating/Replacing Firmware in the ELK-M1XSP The M1XSP stores it’s operating firmware in “Flash” memory. This state-of-the-art memory allows electronic field updates and eliminates the old fashion method of changing IC chips or shipping boards back to the factory. As new firmware updates become available, they will be posted on ELK’s website found at www.elkproducts.com.
