What is a? What is z? Is both user defined?

a and z are constant of the Montgomery curve algorithm (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montgomery_curve)

the z value is always 1.

I read that, but what is 'a' exactly? If it is an unknown constant, then how will I find when the said result will occur. Is it 1? Or does the value of a has no impact on the result (but it certainly does)? Or on calculation the value of 'a' will be given?

I think I did not understand the question properly. Huh
