Solution
The software requires the correct "hw_model" parameter defined in the configuration file to find a match with the executable, in the example above the "as4000.exe" file.
The problem here is the hw_model value is incorrect as this value is case sensitive and the expected value is "AlphaServer_4000" and not "Alphaserver_4000". Solution is to update the configuration with the correct model name.
These name are available from the user's guides, configuration details chapter then General settings.
