The AlphaCom supports a subset of the MPC data protocol used with the classic Stentofon TouchLine exchanges. As it allows control of the AlphaCom exchange by mapping MPC commands to AlphaCom commands one-to-one it can be thought of as a variant of the simple link layer, but only for single-exchange (not AlphaNet) applications.

The output is broadcast of exchange events like dialled digits, station busy/free, connection and transfers. Note that it’s possible to send additional data strings from the AlphaCom’s Event Handler on this port also.

The AlphaCom supports a subset of the MPC Data Protocol for backward compatibility. This allowed some TouchLine generation equipment like PNCI, MLH and CRMIII/IV to be used with the AlphaCom.

As from software 11.2.3.5 the MPC input commands also support global numbers, i.e. the command will be routed to the correct node.

-AlphaCom has supported a serial data port which outputs TouchLine formatted output messages since AMC 03.00.
+'''See also:''' [[MPC data trace]]
-From software AMC 07.60, a limited subset of TouchLine input commands are supported also.
-=== Disclaimer ===
-The TouchLine input commands have been implemented by translating them to existing AlphaCom data protocol commands.  This means that the commands may not behave 100% identical compared to a TouchLine exchange in all possible situations.  You should think of it as a simple ASCII link layer protocol to AlphaCom functionality.
-=== Tips for use ===
+[[Category:Protocols]]
-Many AlphaCom features require additional parameters, which can not be supplied when using TouchLine message format.  A possible workaround is to use the Event Handling, where you can set up action commands with many parameters.
-* Create a directory number bbbb with feature 85, "Event trigger"
-* In the Event Handler, add an "Event Trigger Feature" event on station aaaa.
-This occurs when bbbb is dialed on station aaaa.
-* Configure the desired action commands for the event.  The action can be as complex as you like.
-Now you can use the “H aaaa bbbb” TouchLine command to execute the configured action.
