===Power===
The AlphaCom XE1 is powered by 5VDC from 90-240VAC power adapter. The power adapter comes with the XE1 server.

===Network===
The XE1 server has two RJ-45 ethernet ports for IP communication. Ethernet port 0 (Eth 0) is by default configured as a Management port, allowing connection to the embedded web server ([[AlphaWeb]]) and connection of the PC configuration tool [[AlphaPro]].
Default IP addresses: 
* Eth0 has IP address 169.254.1.5 
* Eth1 gets IP address from DHCP by default

===Serial Ports===
[[File:Serial ports XE1.PNG|thumb|right|400px|XE1 Serial ports pinout]]
The serial ports with RS232 and RS422/RS485 interfaces are used for connecting to equipment using serial communication.
* '''Serial Port 0''': R232 only on an 9-Pin D-sub connector
* '''Serial Port 1''': RS232, RS422 or RS485 on an RJ45 connector
** '''RS232:''':  [[AMC-IP_-_AlphaCom_Processor_Board_(Black)#Switches_and_Jumpers|Switch 8 on S601]] on the AMC-IP board must be set to OFF (default).
** '''RS422''': [[AMC-IP_-_AlphaCom_Processor_Board_(Black)#Switches_and_Jumpers|Switch 8 on S601]] on the AMC-IP board must be set to ON. Jumpers J1 and J2 in position 1-2
** '''RS485''': [[AMC-IP_-_AlphaCom_Processor_Board_(Black)#Switches_and_Jumpers|Switch 8 on S601]] on the AMC-IP board must be set to ON. Jumpers J1 and J2 in position 2-3 (default)




To access the jumpers J1 and J2, remove the top lid of the XE1 server:

===Remote Control Inputs (RCI)===
The AlphaCom XE1 does not support any inputs on the server itself. A number of external devices can be used to provide such inputs. See [[RCI - Remote Contol Input]]

===Remote Control Outputs (RCO)===
The AlphaCom XE1 does not support any outputs or relays from the server itself. A number of external devices can be used to provide such outputs/relays. See [[RCO_-_Remote_Control_Output|Remote Control Outputs]]

== Installation ==
* Remove the front cover of the XE1 cabinet
* Prepare the AMC-IP board with the STIC according to [[AMC-IP - AlphaCom Processor Board (Black)|this article]], then insert the AMC-IP board into the server. Give the board a firm final push to make sure it goes all the way into position.

{{obs|
* ''Turn '''power off''' before inserting or removing the AMC-IP board'' }}

* Insert the plug from the power adapter. Make sure that the cable goes underneath the strain relief.
* Insert the power adapter to the mains socket.
* Watch the LEDs of the AMC-IP board. The system uses approx. 70 seconds to start up. When running the green status LED should be flashing.
* Connect a laptop to Eth 0 port, open a web broswer (e.g. Firefox or Chrome), and log on to the web server using IP address 169.254.1.5. (Default Username/Password = admin/alphaadmin)
* [[AMC-IP software upgrade (Black AMC-IP board)|Upgrade the software]] of the server to the latest version. Upgrade is done from the web interface of the server. This will ensure that the system has the latest features, bug fixes and security updates.
* Replace the front cover of the XE1 cabinet

== Configuration==
* [[AlphaPro]] is a Windows application for configuring the AlphaCom XE system. AlphaPro is used for configuration of user data, such as Directory Numbers, Direct Access Keys, Group Calls etc.
* [[AlphaWeb]] is the embedded web server running on AlphaCom XE. The AlphaWeb server provides functions for system monitoring, system configuration, and system upgrade. Initial connection is done by connecting a laptop to Eth 0 port, open a web broswer (e.g. Firefox or Chrome), and log on to the web server using IP address 169.254.1.5. (Default Username/Password = admin/alphaadmin).

==Factory Reset (coldstart)==
Performing a '''cold start''' of the AMC-IP board will delete all previous programming, load factory default settings and set the IP-address to 169.254.1.5 with mask 255.255.0.0 on Eth0.

===Cold start procedure===
* Press and hold the cold start button on the AMC-IP board, then power up the XE1 server.
* Keep the cold start button pressed for at least 2 sec. after power on, then relase the button. 
* The AMC-IP status LED will blink green when the server is running

=== Cold-start of AMC application only, keep IP setting ===
*Power up the AlphaCom XE1 server
*After 10 seconds, press and hold the cold start button on the AMC-IP board.
*Keep the cold start button pressed until the AMC status LED is blinking green.

===Other methods of factory default===
The server can be set to factory default values also:
* '''From [[AlphaWeb]]''': System Maintenance -> System Recovery -> Load Factory Defaults
* '''From [[AlphaPro]]:''' Upload a default AlphaPro database to the exchange

==Mounting & Dimensions==
The cabinet should be mounted on a shelf or in a 19” rack. It contains one AMC-IP processor board only. The server includes a power board.
