Sumario:The essential commissioning steps of the ALFA Roman Pot detectors in the LHC tunnel are described. First measurements of elastic proton scattering has been done with a high β* = 90m optics. The angular plots of elastically scattered protons are shown. Finally an outlook for physics data taking with β* at 500m or slightly above is given.
