AlphaPro 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 download this programming into the exchange. AlphaPro does not extend the features of the exchange, it fills in the appropriate tables. AlphaPro gives the facility to program the features of the exchange off-line, and at a later stage upload this programming into the exchange. The latest released version is v10.28. AlphaPro is actually two software programs, one FoxPro database application (the big, central window) and one C-code communication program called WACS (the small window on top). AlphaWeb The AlphaWeb is an embedded web server running on the AlphaCom E exchange. It allows the users to log using a standard web browser such as Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Opera or Netscape to operate and manage the AlphaCom system. Event Handler The AlphaCom exchange is an intercom exchange of which the main task is to enable uni- and bi-directional speech. In order to be able to meet as many customer requirements as possible when it comes to special features an Event Handler has been implemented. The underlying idea is that by customer-programming this event handler functionality can be implemented which is not part of the standard feature list. The event handler is unique in the world of intercom. It is what gives the exchange its flexibility and makes it possible to meet most, if not all, customer requirements. The Event Handler is based on the software concept that when the intercom functions run, they report 'events' to a part of the software called the Event Handler. The event can be described as a trigger that sets off an action in the system depending on the information entered in AlphaPro, the programming tool for the AlphaCom exchange. In this way, the Event Handler provides a powerful engineering tool for configuring system behaviour to meet requirements from customers.
