The AlphaCom Intercom Exchange first came out in 1995. Since then it has evolved many times, perfecting the art of critical communication. Until 2006 the upgrades consisted of changing the software chips on the board, or even swapping the AMC board it self for improved memory and processor and so on. But in 2006 the first IP exchange was introduced. In appliance with Zenitels compatibility strategy all older AlphaComs can also be turned in to an IP version exchange simply by changing the processor board. In this article you will find detailed information about converting an older Alphacom into the IP era. In all cases all existing stations and other boards such as ASLT, ATLB, ATLB-12, AE1, AGA, ASVP, APC, can be kept.

Hardware Upgrade
AlphaCom M to AlphaCom XE7
Because of exensive changes to the backplane, the complete AlphaCom M cabinet must be replaced with a new AlphaCom XE7 cabinet in order to upgrade to IP. You need:
AlphaCom 80+ to AlphaCom XE20
New AMC-IP board and AMC filter board is required:
- 1 x AMC-IP board (1009202100)
- 1 x STIC for XE20/XE26 (1009296200)
- 1 x Filter card AMC-IP (1009511000)
AlphaCom 138 to AlphaCom XE26
- 1 x AMC-IP board (1009202100)
- 1 x STIC for XE20/XE26 (1009296200)
- 1 x Filter card AMC-IP (1009511000)
AlphaCom E7 to AlphaCom XE7
- 1 x AMC-IP board (1009202100)
- 1 x STIC for XE1/XE7 (1009296100)
AlphaCom E20 to AlphaCom XE20
- 1 x AMC-IP board (1009202100)
- 1 x STIC for XE20/XE26 (1009296200)
AlphaCom E26 to AlphaCom XE26
- 1 x AMC-IP board (1009202100)
- 1 x STIC for XE20/XE26 (1009296200)
AlphaPro Database
AMC 04.03 - 06.xx
Here you will need AlphaPro 06.01. This version is only available on request form Alphasupport@zenitel.com. You also need a PC with Windows 95/98. Windows 2000, NT or higher are not supported.
AMC 07.xx
Here you will need AlphaPro 07.25. This version is only available on request form Alphasupport@zenitel.com. You also need a PC with Windows 95/98. Windows 2000, NT or higher are not supported.
AMC 08.xx
Here you will need AlphaPro 09.23. This version is only available on request form Alphasupport@zenitel.com. You also need a PC with Windows 98 or higher. Windows Vista and Windows 7 are not supported.
AMC 09.xx -> Present version
The latest AlphaPro version found on Downloads can be used for all version from AMC 09.00 and upwards.
Database Conversion
All conversion of databases happens in AlphaPro. If a database is copied into the database folder of a higher version you will be prompted to convert or not.
For each AMC software version the NVRAM version is listed. If the NVRAM version is different, the AMC board must be cold started, and then you must do a SendAll from AlphaPro to restore the configuration.
A flash backup made in one NVRAM version is not compatible with a different version and thus cannot be restored.
