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.

AlphaPro modes of operation
AlphaPro version 11.x operates in one out of two modes. An USB hardware dongle is used to differentiate between the different modes:
- AlphaPro M: Runs without the USB hardware key. It gives access to all features, but only the first 36 subscribers (physical number 1-36) can be configured. AlphaNet cannot be configured in this mode.
- AlphaPro Professional: When the hardware key is detected, AlphaPro will run in "Professional" mode. It gives access to all features. This mode must be used to configure physical numbers above 36, or to configure AlphaNet.
Installation
Prerequisites
Before installing AlphaPro, the computer must have the following software installed:
- Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=25150
- Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=52685
Installing AlphaPro
- Download the AlphaPro software from the download page
- Unzip the downloaded file, and run the setup.exe file
- Follow the instructions on the screen
Install driver for the USB Hardware Key
If this is the first time AlphaPro is installed on this computer, you need to also install a driver for the USB hardware key.
Open Windows File Explorer, and locate the folder where AlphaPro was installed. Here you will find the folder SentinelSystemDriver. Open the folder, and run the file Sentinel System Driver Installer 7.5.8.exe.

Compatibility
- Note 1: 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.
- Note 2: As from AlphaPro version 11.5 there is no support for serial communication, which is needed to configure AMC9. For AMC9 and mixed networks AlphaPro 11.2.x.x must be used.
