The AlphaCom E-series includes extended integration of different kinds of communication and alarm systems, access control, CCTV, public address, public telephones and a variety of features and solutions that can be added when desired. It is easy to interface to 3rd party systems to create special applications. The new technology allows remote programming, logging and maintenance via AlphaPro, Syslog and standard web browsers. What's new Hardware: New ASLT/ATLB filter and connection board with RJ45 connectors New design for flush mount stations 7040, 7042 and 7043 AMC software version 10.40 is about to be released.

IP audio connections in AlphaNet are not compatible with earlier versions of AMC software. Local Echo Canceling. 10 channels of local echo canceling are available for "open" handset conversation when using SIP, Multimodule IP and AlphaNetIP. The channels are allocated when needed, when no more resourced switched duplex is used. New event type 33, Private Ringing Outgoing. Might be used for state of outgoing conversation to SIP. The number of AlphaNet data links is increased from 20 to 50. External VoIP audio gain adjustment: Gain towards SIP devices is now by default +18db, giving more appropriate audio level towards external exquipment. IP audio Gain adjustment options.

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.
