RS-232
The LTC 8555/00 and LTC 8555/01 models use the Allegiant RS-485 communication protocol, and are the most common versions. These models are ready to operate as soon as they’re connected to the Allegiant system.
The LTC 8555/02 and LTC 8555/03 are similar, but use an RS-232 communication protocol.
These models can be used with communication links that support full duplex RS-232 transmission. Since the RS-232 models connect to the Allegiant’s RS-232 ports rather than the standard RS-485 keyboard ports, some initial configuration programming of the Allegiant switcher is necessary. With a few minor exceptions, general operation is identical for all models.
Although the LTC 8555/00 and LTC 8555/01 are compatible with Allegiant systems of any age, the LTC 8555/02 and LTC 8555/03 models require Allegiant CPU firmware version 7.6 or higher. Although this version was released in late 1998, it is possible to update older systems using a firmware download in some cases or by replacement of the CPU module with a current version. If necessary, contact your local sales office for additional details.

LTC 8555/00 and LTC 8555/01 (standard keyboard) Installation
There are several options available for connecting these keyboard models to an Allegiant system. The keyboard is supplied with a 3 m (10 ft) cable for local hookups, as shown in
FIGURE 1. Using the optional LTC 8558/00 cable, a keyboard can be remoted up to 30 m (100 ft) per Figure 2. In both of these cases, the keyboard cable can be connected directly to the
RJ-11 keyboard port located on the rear panel of the Allegiant system where it will be provided with both data and power.
For connections beyond 30 m (100 ft), the LTC 8557 Series Remote Hookup Kit can be used, as shown in Figure 3. The LTC 8557 is also required when the keyboard is remoted over a long distance communication link, such as a fiber optic system shown in Figure 4.

General
The RS-232 protocol versions of the LTC 8555 Series keyboards can be connected to either an
Allegiant LTC 8712 Series Console Port Expander accessory unit, or the 9-pin Console or
Printer (if equipped) RS-232 port on the back of the Allegiant system. The keyboard may be connected via hardwired cable or using another type of communication system conforming to standard RS-232 transmission.
For each keyboard being installed, an LTC 8557 Series Remote Hookup Kit (sold separately), user-supplied 9-pin mating connector, and user-supplied cable suitable for use with RS-232 signals is required. Refer to the most applicable configuration diagram.
Keyboard Number Assignments when Using RS-232 Model Keyboards
Use of RS-232 protocol keyboards does not increase the total number of keyboards that can be connected to an Allegiant switcher. When an RS-232 keyboard is connected in the system, a standard keyboard port will automatically become disabled. The disabled keyboard port number will be based on the interface connection type of the RS-232 keyboard. Keeping track of these keyboard numbers is necessary when priority-based restrictions, or other keyboard related lockouts, are assigned and used in the system.
The table below indicates which keyboard number will be assigned, based on the connection being used.

Allegiant System Command Scripts for RS-232 Model Keyboards
When a keyboard is being connected to an Allegiant’s Console port, or an Allegiant Printer port configured to operate in the Console mode, the Allegiant must be preprogrammed so the port will operate in the RS-232 keyboard mode.
The mode of the Allegiant’s Console port can be changed either by a manually entered ASCII text command, or preprogramming the Allegiant CPU with an Allegiant Command Script. The
Command Script method is preferred since the appropriate settings are automatically restored after a system power loss or reset. Manually entered commands remain valid only until the system is reset or powered off/on, so typically they should be used only for temporary or test purposes.
To manually configure an Allegiant’s Console port to operate in the keyboard mode, it is necessary to connect to the system via Windows® HyperTerminal or another dumb terminal emulator.
Note: Allegiant Console and Printer RS-232 ports do not use a standard RS-232 pinout. Use of an Allegiant Console cable is recommended (If necessary refer to the Allegiant Console cable pinout reference at the end of this manual).
The Allegiant RS-232 settings are user-programmable, but the default settings are:
Baud:
Stop bits:
Data bits:
Parity:
19,200

None
Handshake: None
Once online with the system, an Allegiant prompt appears each time Enter is pressed. The prompt will look as follows:
TC8x00 > where x is a digit from one to nine (varies based on the Allegiant model being interfaced)
At the system prompt, manually enter the appropriate command, based on the Allegiant port in use, and type of keyboard interface. Refer to the table below to determine the correct command. Enter the command exactly as shown below, then press ENTER.

Console Expander Configuration when Using RS-232 Model Keyboards
RS-232 model keyboards may be connected to an Allegiant system using the LTC 8712 Series
Console Port Expander, as shown in Figure 5.7. An LTC 8712 Series Console Port Expander can be configured to support up to four RS-232 Keyboard connections. Other devices, such as a PC running the Allegiant Master Control software, can be connected to the unused ports of the Port Expander. Because the Port Expander supports only a single baud rate for the external connections, and the RS-232 keyboards require 9600 baud, all external devices connecting to the Port Expander must be configured to for operation at this setting.

To configure an Allegiant system to operate with an LTC 8712 Console Port Expander, you must have access to the Allegiant CPU’s dipswitches, the PC-based LTC 8059 Master Control
Software, and possibly an Allegiant keyboard.
To convert an Allegiant Console port using a CPU dipswitch method, set dipswitches 3 and 4 to the ON position on CPU dipswitch S100, S1001, or S0201 (the switch number depends on the Allegiant model being used). After a system reset (power off/on, for example), the
Allegiant’s Console port is forced into the Port Expander mode, and the RS-232 data rate is automatically set to 57,600 baud. To convert an Allegiant Console port via the Master Control
Software, connect to the Allegiant and go online. Select the Parameter tab, and then the
Options tab. Check the box labeled Set Console Port to Port-Expander mode. Download the table into the Allegiant.
To convert an Allegiant Printer port to operate in the Port Expander mode, first configure the
Printer port to operate as a Console port. This is done by setting dipswitch 4 to the ON position on CPU dipswitch S101, S1002, or S0202 (the switch number depends on the
Allegiant model being used). After a system reset (power off/on, for example), the Printer port will begin to operate as a Console port. Next, use either the Allegiant Keyboard User Function
38 or the Master Control Software to change the port to the Port Expander mode. If using the
Master Control Software, connect to the Allegiant and go online. Select the Parameter tab, and then the Options tab. Check the box labeled Set Printer Port to Port-Expander mode.
Download the table into the Allegiant.

Because the Port Expander uses this setting for all external connections, all external devices connecting to the Port Expander must be configured to operate using a hardware handshake interface.
Remember to power the Console Port Expander off/on whenever any changes are made to its internal dipswitches.
Connect the data cable supplied with the LTC 8712 Console Port Expander between the unit and the appropriately configured port on the Allegiant. For further details refer to the instructions supplied with the LTC 8712 Port Expander unit.
Using an optional LTC 8557 Hookup Kit, the RS-232 keyboard can now be connected to the appropriate port of the Port Expander, as shown in Figure 8.
If a modem is being used, follow the same connections and configuration settings described in the previous section when interfacing directly to an Allegiant Console port.

Login Feature when Using RS-232 Model Keyboards
The Allegiant’s keyboard login feature is not affected by use of RS-232 keyboards. If desired, this feature can be enabled to provide additional security to the system. Note that it is not possible to use the Allegiant’s Console port login feature. The RS-232 keyboards must have unrestricted access to the Allegiant’s RS-232 ports.
Keyboard Controls
Joystick
Camera positioning is controlled via an eight-way joystick on the right-hand side of the keyboard. This joystick is used to move a pan/tilt-equipped camera up, down, left, right or diagonally. Rotating the ZOOM control knob causes the lens to either zoom in or out. The direction of its response depends upon several factors, including the camera/lens model, and certain system configuration settings determined at installation. Up to four pan/tilt/zoom commands may be sent to a remote camera site at one time (example: Zoom In, Focus Far,
Pan Left, and Tilt Down).
Focus and Iris Lens Controls
The lens control buttons are at the right side of the keyboard. Use these buttons to control cameras equipped with motorized zoom lenses to focus near or far, and open or close the iris
(if the lens supports manual iris operations). Up to three zoom lens functions can be sent simultaneously (example: Zoom Out using the joystick knob, Focus Near, and Iris Open).
Numeric Keypad
Use the numeric keypad when it’s necessary to enter a numeric value, for instance, Camera numbers, Monitor numbers, user number, or password information. Leading zeros are not necessary when entering a number.
“*” (Star) Button
The ‘*’ key is used to activate an advanced programming feature in the Allegiant CPU. It has no default function, and will cause ERROR 96 to occur unless an associated Command Script has been programmed into the Allegiant.
Other Keyboard Buttons
See the Operating section of this manual.
Keyboard Displays
The keyboard has two groups of seven-segment LED displays. The monitor LED display is a three-digit display that shows the number of the monitor currently being controlled by the keyboard. During certain operating modes, it may also display prompts and diagnostic information.
The camera LED display is a four-digit seven-segment display that shows the number of the camera being viewed on the monitor that the keyboard is controlling. There are three modes for this display; camera mode is the default, but when the operator pushes one of the numeric data keys, the display shows the numeric keystrokes as entered from the keyboard, and also causes the decimal point, in the lower right-hand side of the camera display, to light.

Messages). When the operator enters an erroneous key sequence, the keyboard beeps and an error number is temporarily displayed (for approximately 2 seconds).
User Information
General
The Allegiant system is factory-supplied with various user-selectable features set to their default states (the main Allegiant system Installation Manual contains complete descriptions).
Since these features are user-selectable and have a significant effect on system behavior, some of the descriptions below may not apply to your system configuration.
Keyboard Login Procedure
Two modes of keyboard access exist. The factory default settings, allow the keyboard to be used as soon as it is connected to an operating Allegiant system. The second mode requires operators to logon to the keyboard before access to the system is permitted. A valid User number and password are required. If the login feature is being used, the system installer or administrator typically provides this information to all operators requiring system access.
Perform the following steps to login to the keyboard:
1.
If the keyboard is displaying a camera and monitor number, it is already logged on; no action is required. When the keyboard is in a logged off state, the left side LEDs display 3 flashing dashes.
2.
Press ON. A 'U' should appear in the LED display as a prompt for entering a User number.
3.
Enter your User number via the numeric keypad, then press ENTER. Up to 32 user numbers are available (128 for Allegiant LTC 8900 models).
4.
If the entry is incorrect, press CLEAR and repeat the above step.
5.
Press ENTER.
6.
Verify that the keyboard monitor display now shows a 'P'.
7.
Enter the password (maximum of six digits). The keyboard camera display indicates the number of digits entered, but not the actual password. Press ENTER when finished entering the user password.
8.
If the User number or password is invalid, the display returns to the flashing dashes mode.
9.
If the User number and password are valid, you will be logged onto the system. The keyboard’s LEDs now indicate a monitor and camera currently under control by the keyboard.
Example: ON 12 ENTER 123456 ENTER
This example shows User #12 with password #123456 logging onto the system.
Keyboard Log Off Procedure
If the logon feature is not enabled, it will not be possible to log off the keyboard. If the feature has been enabled and you are currently logged on, press USER, then press OFF. The logged off keyboard displays flashing dashes in the keyboard LED display.

Modem Dialing (applies to LTC 855/02 and LTC 8555/03 models only)
The LTC 8555/02 and LTC 8555/03 keyboard models support the ability to dial the phone number of an attached modem. When the keyboard is offline, pressing ENTER causes it to go into dial mode. Modem initialization takes a few seconds, then the keyboard displays “dial” in the camera number display.
Enter the phone number via the keypad. The “*” (star) button can be used to insert a pause between digits. The digits scroll to the left in the monitor display as the phone number is entered. Use CLEAR to backspace over the digits in the reverse order that they were entered.
Although the modem remembers all digits entered, the keyboard only remembers the last four, so if CLEAR is pressed repeatedly, the display begins to show periods after it has cleared
4 digits.
Once the entire number has been entered, press ENTER to initiate modem dialing. Press USER at any time to cancel dialing. Dialing is also cancelled if CLEAR or ENTER is pressed when no digits have been entered.
The keyboard will flash the word “dial” in its display until a connection with the system is established, and it begins to receive data from the Allegiant switcher. If no data is received within one minute, the keyboard will time out and return to the flashing dashes mode.
If the modem is online, and the user is logged in, pressing USER 190 ENTER forces the modem to hang up immediately.
Keyboard Operating Instructions
Camera Selection
In default mode, enter a valid 1 to 4 digit camera number using the numeric keypad and press
ENTER.
If the Allegiant is configured to operate in “6-digit Camera ID” mode, up to 6 digits can be entered. If the new camera is at the same “site” as the current camera, simply enter 1 to 4 camera number digits.
If the desired camera is at a different “site”, 5 or 6 digits must be entered. The first and second digits would be the site number and the remaining 4 digits, including any leading zeros would be the camera number at that site.
Note: The keyboard's CAMERA button does not need to be used for simple camera selections.
The button is only useful when it’s necessary to cancel a previous incomplete action, such as canceling a monitor selection, and return to the camera number entry mode.
Monitor Selection
To select which monitor will respond to the operator 's keyboard commands, press MONITOR.
Enter a valid monitor number via the numeric keypad and press ENTER. The number of the selected monitor will appear on the keyboard's monitor display.
Lock or Unlock Control of a Camera
Press LOCK, then ON to lock a camera, or OFF to unlock a camera. If the camera to be locked is not the one currently being viewed, enter the camera number via the numeric keyboard, but do not press ENTER, before you press LOCK.
If the Status option is enabled, the section of the on-screen overlay between the camera number and the time now shows “RL”, indicating the camera is locked. Activating a camera lock immediately prevents other operators (unless they have a higher priority) from controlling the locked pan/tilt/zoom camera. Remember to unlock the camera when finished so that all operators can access it.

Lock or Unlock Control of a Monitor
Press MONITOR, then LOCK and ON to lock a monitor, or OFF to unlock the monitor. If the monitor to be unlocked is not the one currently being controlled by the keyboard, enter the monitor number (but do not press ENTER) after you press the MONITOR key. Then press the
LOCK and ON key. If the Status option is enabled, the section of the on-screen overlay between the camera number and the time now shows “ML”, indicating the monitor is locked.
This prevents other operators (unless they have a higher priority) from changing the video on the monitor being used. Remember to unlock the monitor when finished so that all operators can access it.
Note: If an operator with a higher priority accesses a locked monitor and switches to a different camera, the lock will automatically be removed.
Recording a Camera Pre-position Scene
Select a camera with pan/tilt/zoom control (with pre-position options), as described above.
Using the joystick and lens controls, adjust the camera to view the scene to be stored. Press
SET, then select the scene number using the numeric keypad, and press ENTER. The camera position is now stored, for later recall.
If an AutoDome® camera is being used, certain pre-position commands are also used to activate operational features and functions. Refer to the AutoDome operation manual for complete information. If a conventional Allegiant Receiver/Driver is being controlled, the pan/ tilt/zoom lens must have the necessary options for pre-position operation.
Certain AutoDome models and Allegiant Receiver/Driver series have the capability to disable a previously stored pre-position or remove one from a pre-position tour by pressing SET, the digit 9, followed by the 2-digit pre-position number. Information supplied with the device will identify whether this feature is available.
Recalling a Camera Pre-position Scene
Select the camera to be activated and press SHOT, then enter a previously stored camera scene number via the numeric keypad and press ENTER. The camera automatically returns to the previously stored position.
If a second pre-position is called prior to the completion of the first, the camera moves directly to the second shot. If using an AutoDome camera, certain pre-position commands may be used to activate operational features and functions. Refer to the AutoDome operation manual for more information.
Activate/Deactivate Auxiliary Function
To turn on an auxiliary function of a remote camera device, press ON, enter the number of the auxiliary to be activated, and press ENTER. Holding down the ENTER key causes the auxiliary function to be sent repeatedly. This capability is useful when the auxiliary is activating a housing window washer function, or a temporary light source.
To turn off an auxiliary function of a remote camera device, press OFF, enter the number of the auxiliary to be deactivated, then press ENTER.
With AutoDome cameras, auxiliary commands are used to activate/deactivate certain operational features and functions. Refer to the manual supplied with the AutoDome camera for complete information on supported features.
In the Allegiant Receiver/Driver series, the first 4 auxiliaries correspond to relay outputs.
Option switches in the receiver/driver can configure these to operate as either ‘latching’ or
‘momentary’ functions. If configured for the 'latching' type, the auxiliary will stay on once activated, until turned off. If configured as 'momentary', the auxiliary remains on only as long as ENTER is held down. Auxiliary outputs 2 through 4 can also be configured as contact closures, 24 VAC, or as line voltage. Auxiliary number 5 controls the DITHER function (see

User Information | en 23 below). Auxiliary number 6 corresponds to an internal receiver/driver AUTO-PANNING feature that must have been previously enabled via an option switch internal to the receiver/driver.
DITHER is a legacy Allegiant Receiver/Driver feature designed to extend the life of tube-based low-light level cameras. Its function was to prevent bright lights in the scene from burning a spot on the camera imager. When this feature is active and the pan/tilt is not moved for a period of about 2 minutes, the receiver/driver automatically pans right for approximately 0.5 seconds. Two minutes later, a pan left occurs. This cycle continues until disabled. The feature is enabled via an option switch in the receiver/driver, and is activated by turning on auxiliary
5. To deactivate the feature, turn off auxiliary 5. When first enabled, the pan/tilt unit makes one short Left/Right cycle to indicate that the DITHER function has been activated. Note that a camera in the DITHER mode accumulates a viewing error if left unattended for a long period of time, so occasionally a manual adjustment of the pan/tilt may be required.
Arm/Disarm Individual Alarms
Alarm commands are used to control the system's automatic video switching, in response to alarm signals. To arm/disarm an individual alarm on the monitor currently controlled by the keyboard, press ALARM. Enter the alarm number to be armed using the numeric keypad, and press ON to arm the alarm, or OFF to disarm it.
Using default settings, the camera activated by an alarm is normally the same as the alarm number, but this relationship can be changed via the optional Allegiant PC based Master
Control Software package. In cases where the alarm number does not match the camera number, it is important to specify the alarm number when using this command.
The monitor status display (if enabled) shows “'CA” (camera/alarm armed) whenever an armed camera is selected.
Arm/Disarm All Alarms
To arm/disarm all alarms on the monitor currently controlled by the keyboard, press USER,
ALARM, then ON to arm all alarms, or OFF to disarm all alarms.
Arm/Disarm Monitor
To arm/disarm the monitor currently controlled by the keyboard, press USER, MONITOR, then
ON to arm the monitor, or OFF to disarm the monitor.
Note: Alarm video will appear on a given monitor only if the monitor is armed and the alarm is armed for that monitor. The monitor status display (if enabled) shows “MA” (monitor armed).
Acknowledgment of Alarms
ACK is provided so system operators can respond to alarms from the keyboard. Pressing ACK while the keyboard is beeping due to an alarm condition always silences the beeper.
Depending on alarm configuration programming, subsequent pressing of the ACK key either clears alarm video from the monitors, or has no effect.
Load/Clear a Sequence
To load a previously programmed sequence so it can be run on your monitor, press
SEQUENCE, enter the desired sequence number (1 to 60 for most Allegiant models, or 1 to
256 for the LTC 8900 system), and then press ENTER. Note that loading a sequence does not automatically initiate the sequence. Refer to the following sections for sequence control information.
Since sequences may be programmed to use more than one monitor, all monitors required for a sequence must be available. If a sequence is already on a monitor, the operator who loaded it originally (or an operator with a higher priority) is permitted to load a new sequence on the monitor or monitors. Others receive an error message.

To clear a sequence from a monitor, press SEQUENCE and ENTER. Only the operator who loaded it originally (or an operator with a higher priority) is permitted to clear a sequence from a monitor. Others receive an error message.
If enabled, the status display area of the monitor indicates the sequence number in the appropriate location. If no sequence is currently loaded, “00” is displayed.
Run a Sequence
To run a sequence currently loaded on a monitor, press RUN. If the sequence was stopped, the RUN command will initiate sequencing. The direction of sequencing is indicated in the monitor status display (if enabled) by a directional arrow and the letter 'R' to the right of the sequence number. If RUN is pressed while a sequence is already running, the switcher goes immediately to the next step in the sequence, and continues to run. Holding down RUN produces a 'quick-scan' effect. If RUN is pressed when no sequence is loaded, an error results.
If the monitor is in alarm, RUN controls the switching of alarm video rather than a loaded sequence.
Stop a Running Sequence
Press HOLD to stop a sequence if one is currently running. The monitor status display shows
'S' to the right of the sequence number. If the sequence is already stopped, pressing HOLD has no effect. If no sequence is currently loaded, pressing HOLD results in an error condition.
If the monitor is in alarm, HOLD stops the alarm switcher rather than a loaded sequence.
Controlling the Direction of a Sequence
The direction of a sequence can be set to run in either a forward or reverse direction. It is also possible to manually step though a stopped sequence, either forward or reverse. These actions work as follows:
– If NEXT is pressed with the sequence in the stop state, the sequence switches forward and remains stopped. If the sequence is running when NEXT is pressed, it immediately goes to the next step and continues to run. The same is true for PREV, but in the reverse direction. If either NEXT or PREV is held down, a 'quick-scan' effect, switching at a rate of approximately two steps per second, takes place. When sequences are first loaded, the direction defaults to forward
– If PREV is pressed while a camera sequence is running, it reverses the sequence. If PREV is pressed while in a hold mode and the display is showing the forward prompt, the first push changes the direction only, and a second push switches to the previous step. The same is true for NEXT in the opposite direction. The monitor status display shows an arrow pointing either up or down, indicating the direction of the sequence. The arrow is to the right of the sequence number, either above or below the sequence run ‘R’ or stopped ‘S’ indicator. If the monitor is in alarm, PREV and NEXT control the alarm switcher rather than the loaded sequence.
– If no sequence is loaded, pressing NEXT or PREV automatically steps the switcher through the camera numbers in numerical order.
Programming a Simple Camera Sequence
The Allegiant system has very powerful sequencing capabilities. Using a system keyboard, it is possible to enter sequences that will run on a single monitor or multiple monitors. As long as valid camera and monitor numbers are used, they can be entered into a sequence in a completely random order. More powerful features are available when sequences are programmed via the PC-based LTC 8059 Master Control Software, including the capability to activate receiver/driver actions as part of a sequence step.

The only limitation associated with sequence programming is the CPU memory required for storing the sequence steps. The current limit for most Allegiant models is 3000 steps, but the
LTC 8900 supports up to 6000 steps.
Consider a sequence as being similar to a spreadsheet; a simple sequence would consist of 3 columns of information that would look as follows:
Camera
1
2
3
4
5
Monitor
1
1
1
1
1
Dwell
2
2
2
2
2
Programming of sequences can best be described by going through the above example.
Initiate the programming mode by pressing PROGRAM. Enter an available sequence number
(1 to 60 for most Allegiant models; 1 to 256 for LTC 8900 systems), then press ENTER. The on-screen monitor display will change to the following format:
1st Line Camera (Ignore) S0001 L0001 Time (Ignore)
2nd Line >C0001< M001 D02 (Date (Ignore)
The top line of the display always indicates the current step being viewed, in the S0001 section. Total length of the sequence is displayed in the L0001 section.
When programming a new sequence, the camera number that was being viewed before entering the programming mode is automatically placed within the > < prompts (as in the above example showing camera number C0001 on the 2nd line). Enter the first camera of the sequence into this position. If the camera number is correct, no action is necessary. If not, enter the desired camera number via the keypad, and press ENTER.
Using the joystick control, move to the RIGHT one step. The prompts will shift over to the monitor number shown above as M001. The monitor that was being controlled by the keyboard before entering the programming mode defaults to this position. If it is correct, no action is necessary. If not, enter the desired monitor number via the keypad, and press
ENTER.
Move RIGHT again. The prompts now shift over to the dwell time shown above as D02. The default dwell time for a new sequence is two seconds. If a different dwell period for this step is desired, change the value to any number between 1 and 60. One line is now complete.
Press NEXT to add a second line. The camera number automatically increments, but monitor number and dwell remain the same as the first line. Since this line is correct, no change is necessary and NEXT may be pressed three more times, until line five is reached. Note that the joystick can be used to move around within the spreadsheet, but only the NEXT key adds new lines.
Continue entering camera, monitor, and dwell times in the same fashion until finished. To store the sequence for future use and then exit programming mode, press PROG. If you press
RUN, the programming mode exits, the sequence is stored into memory, and the sequence begins to run. The switcher steps through the five steps in the order shown, and repeats the sequence when it reaches the last step.
To program a sequence that runs once through its steps and then stops, enter the value 62 for the dwell time in the last step, and press ENTER. The dwell display will change to the STP indicator, meaning stop. To program a sequence that runs once through its steps, and then unloads itself, enter the value 63 for the dwell time in the last step and press ENTER. The dwell display changes to ULD, meaning unload.
To edit an existing sequence, press PROG, enter the existing sequence number, and then press ENTER. You can insert a line into a sequence by navigating to the appropriate line and

Allegiant Keyboards pressing ON. An identical line will be added to the next step. To delete a step, navigate to the line and press OFF. To delete all steps below the line you’re viewing, press LOCK. (Be careful with this feature!)
To completely erase a sequence, press LOCK while on the first line of the sequence, and then press OFF. The sequence is then erased, and programming mode automatically exits.
Programming a SalvoSwitching Camera Sequence
A SalvoSwitching® sequence allows specification of a group of monitors that will switch together as a synchronized group. To program a salvo sequence, enter the programming mode as described above for a simple camera sequence. Since a salvo sequence involves multiple monitors switching as a group, the sequence must involve more than 1 monitor. An example of a simple salvo sequence that switches cameras on three monitors simultaneously is shown below in spreadsheet format:
Camera
1
2
3
7
8
9
21
22
23
Monitor

3
1
1
2
3
3
Dwell
SLV
SLV
2
SLV
SLV
2
SLV
SLV
2
In general, follow the instructions used for the simple camera sequence described above, but instead of entering a number of seconds for steps that must switch instantly, enter 61 and press ENTER. When 61 is entered, the switcher automatically changes to the salvo abbreviation SLV. Dwell time (in seconds) is entered only upon reaching the step containing the last monitor to be switched within the synchronized group.

Error Messages
The keyboard is designed to emit a short beep and display an error number whenever
Allegiant system error messages are generated. Error messages are generated for various reasons, including entry of an erroneous key sequence or restricted function invocation.
Some errors contain more than one message. For example, if an attempt is made to access a monitor or controllable camera which has been locked by a higher priority operator, the camera number is temporarily replaced with an appropriate error number, then the number of the operator who placed the lock is briefly displayed.
Refer to the Installation manual supplied with the Allegiant system for a complete listing of error messages applicable to your model system.

Problem
No Power Indication
General
LED Displaying Flashing dashes
Non-operating Key or LED Digit
Possible Causes
– If powered from a non-modular type Allegiant, try another keyboard port on the Allegiant. The port may have failed.
– If powered from a modular type Allegiant, check the fuse on main Allegiant power supply. Try another keyboard port.
– If powered from a separate power source, check power source or main AC supply of power source.
– If power source is confirmed to be OK, the keyboard may have an internal failure. Swap suspect keyboard with a known good keyboard.
– If the login feature is enabled, the keyboard may be logged off.
(User LED lit and OFF LED lit)
– If the login feature is not enabled, or the keyboard port is logged in, there is likely a data communication error. Test the keyboard cable in another keyboard port. Swap the suspect keyboard with a known good keyboard. Try another keyboard data cable. Check keyboard data cable connections.
– If using RS-232 protocol models with a dial-up modem link, the keyboard may be waiting for the operator to dial a phone number and establish communication with the Allegiant.
– If a key does not seem to be working, verify that the attempted function is applicable to the device being controlled, or the switcher’s current situation.
– Key or LED may be defective. Run the User Function 1 test described in section below.

Problem
Camera and Monitor numbers being displayed, but Allegiant systems will not respond to changes or PTZ controls
Intermittent beeping and/or display of error message 90, 92, 94 or 95
Possible Causes
– Verify that the attempted function is applicable to the device being controlled, or the switcher’s current situation.
– If using a directly connected cable, the keyboard port or keyboard could be defective. Swap the suspect keyboard with a known good keyboard.
– If using a communication link other than a directly connected cable, there could be a problem with the communication link.
Data is being received from the Allegiant if camera and monitor numbers are displayed, but these symptoms indicate that the keyboard’s data is not getting back to the Allegiant. Test with a directly connected Allegiant keyboard cable. Verify that the communication link is compatible with Allegiant keyboard data communications.
– Error 90, Error 92, and Error 94 indicate the Allegiant system has received invalid data. The most likely cause is excessive EMI interference on the keyboard data cable, within the keyboard itself, or possibly in the Allegiant system. If the keyboard is remoted a long distance, try using the 3 m (10 ft) data cable supplied with the keyboard.
– Error 95 indicates that there is intermittent keyboard communication. Verify the physical data cable connections and the integrity of the cable connectors.
9.2
Local Keyboard Test -- Keyboard User Function 1
Keyboard User Function 1 is an Allegiant system keyboard feature used to verify that all the keyboard’s LEDs and switches are in working order. This function also automatically calibrates the center position of the analog joystick. Upon starting this test, the keyboard emits a short beep and all LEDs light for about two seconds. During this time, note any LED failures.
Each key may be pressed to display a unique code number associated with that key. Follow the table below to ensure that the keyboard is properly processing all keys. The amount of deflection of the Joystick during pan/tilt actions is indicated by a speed indicator value in the first digit position of the LED display. Rotation of the Zoom control indicates a value of x41 when rotated clockwise, and x40 when rotated counterclockwise. Push USER last, as this exits the keyboard test mode.
If the login system features have been selected by the system installer, the same local test can be initiated while the keyboard is not online, by pressing “*” (the star key).
