SendChg	Send changed data from the PC to the exchange or to all exchanges in an AlphaNet. It may take about 60 sec. after the data has been sent to take effect for an exchange in normal operation. Some changes will require reset for the changes to take effect.
SendAll	Send all data from the PC to the exchange. Use this option after major configuration changes or to be sure that the database is identical to the exchange tables in NVRAM. Do NOT SendAll to an exchange in normal operation! Perform an exchange reset after SendAll.
GetAll	Get all data from the exchange to the PC. The data can be stored in the current database or in a new auto-loaded database. The configuration can be changed afterwards.
Reset	Restart the exchange without changing the programming. The exchange will halt and all activities will be disturbed. See Situations that require System Reset.
SetNode	Modify the node number in the exchange. If the node number in the exchange is not equal to the node number in the AlphaPro database, the logon will fail. This command allows you to modify the node number in the exchange. After Autoload the exchange will have node no. 1. In a network of exchanges (AlphaNet) each exchange must have it’s unique node number.
