# Configuration and game modes

Ares Alpha props can be configured in two modes: [Local ](/ares-alpha-props-manual-en/configuration-and-game-modes/local-configuration.md)and [Remote](/ares-alpha-props-manual-en/configuration-and-game-modes/remote-configuration.md).\
\
In Local mode, the prop needs to be switched to admin mode, and your phone must connect directly to the prop’s Wi-Fi hotspot.\
\
In Remote mode, the prop must be online and connected to the Ares Alpha servers through a mobile network or Wi-Fi.

By default, the prop is set to allow local configuration only. To enable remote access, you need to activate **Remote Control** in the Connection section.
