AlphaPro
From Zenitel Wiki
AlphaPro is the programming tool for the AlphaCom exchange. AlphaPro gives the facility to program the features of the exchange off-line, and at a later stage upload this programming into the exchange. AlphaPro does not extend the features of the exchange, it fills in the appropriate tables.
NOTE: Databases made in the latest AlphaPro version may not function properly if used with older AlphaPro versions. It is recommended to always use the latest AlphaPro version.
The latest version is available on the download page.
AlphaPro is actually two software programs, one FoxPro database application (the big, central window) and one C-code communication program called WACS (the small window on top).
Supported OS
The current AlphaPro version 11.6 supports the following OS:
- Windows XP
- Windows Vista
- Windows 7
- Windows 8.x
- Windows 10*
*Requires .NET 3.5 SP1 before AlphaPro installation
Windows Server is NOT supported!
AlphaPro Versions
AlphaPro version 11.x comes in two versions. A hardware dongle is used to differentiate between the different versions:
- AlphaPro M
Runs without a hardware key. It gives access to all features (except AlphaNet configuration), but only for the first 36 subscribers (physical number 1-36).
- AlphaPro Professional
Uses the Professional hardware key. It gives access to all features. This version must be used when extensive changes to the default Auto-load should be made. For example coniguring physical number above 36 or configuring AlphaNet.

- NOTE: Since 30.07.2009 the AlphaPro Lite hardware key is phased out
