Software and Display Compatibility

AlphaNET is Windows-based software and is not compatible with Mac. Before ordering, contact Salescaster to confirm the software version, your operating system, sign model, firmware and connection requirements. Confirm Windows 11 compatibility before planning an installation.

ActiveX-based real-time data applications require confirmation of the software version, control components and integration requirements. Available features and connection options depend on the display model and equipment used.

For display options, explore the Alpha Big Dot display and BetaBrite Classic LED display. Contact Salescaster to confirm compatibility with your specific model, firmware and connection equipment. For technical integration information, review the ALPHA LED Sign Communication Protocol.

Message Editor

The Message Editor works much like a word processor. Enter text, select fonts and choose presentation modes supported by your sign. Add graphics, animations and colors to make messages easier to recognize. Available options depend on the display model.

Message Simulator

Preview messages, text, graphics and animations on your PC before sending them to a sign. The Message Simulator shows the size, color and position defined for the selected display model. Zoom controls help you check the placement of text and graphics.

Site Manager

Site Manager organizes displays on local or remote networks. Associate message lists with individual sites or groups, and use addressing where supported to send messages to selected displays. Grouping helps manage transmissions across the display network.

Diagnostics

The built-in Diagnostics utility tests a sign or a group of signs on a display network. Send test messages to selected displays or broadcast to a group. Supported queries can retrieve information such as a serial address or firmware version. Available diagnostic functions depend on the sign model and connection.

Communications Manager

Communications Manager tracks message transmissions and logs activity. Set options to save logs to a file, monitor current activity and review previous transmissions for message verification and error checking.

Animation Software

Create GIF animations and visual effects for compatible LED displays. Choose colors and graphics appropriate to the capabilities of your sign.
