alpha Configurations using a PC
The alpha is configured by a simple ASCII text file. This file can be downloaded to the alpha
and uploaded to the configuration PC for analysis and modifications.
When configuring the alpha using the Windows alpha configuration suite, the generation of
the ASCII text file is done for you. The configuration suite also checks the configurations for
errors. It is possible to edit the file using a simple text editor such as notepad, but caution
should be taken as the configuration will not be checked for errors, and this could cause the
alpha to not operate as desired.

environment.

Within the box type a:\setup.exe, then Click on the “Ok” box.
