This is the currently produced AMC-IP board. It replaced the [[AMC-IP - AlphaCom Processor Board (Red)|red AMC-IP board]] (hardware revision 4) in 2010.  
*When updating to AMC IP software version 10.52, all AlphaCom E exchanges in a VoIP AlphaNet network with a software version lower than 10.40 MUST be upgraded at the same time. This requirement does not exist for exchanges connected via [[AGA]] or [[AE1]] cards, either connected directly or via multiplexer equipment, where the data is transferred via serial data links.
 
*For programming of the exchange, AlphaPro 10.28 or later must be used.
