US date order

The AlphaCom can be changed to use the format month-day instead of day-month.

This can be changed for the date and time shown in the display of the station, as well as the dial input for absence messages. This is controlled from the MDF-file.

Dial Input

To change the dial input to month before day for absence messages

• Open the MDF file
• Locate the following text:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%  Month before day.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

% Un-comment the next line if you want to dial month before day. Default is day before month.

% #US_DATE_ORDER

• Delete the '%' in front of #US_DATE_ORDER
