10.6 Camera Number
The left most display on the top line shows the camera number. This
number is generated by the system and is always displayed. This
number identifies this camera when using the keyboard for video call-
ups. Each number is unique. In base systems, this number is the
same as the numbered BNC connector that the camera is plugged
into on the rear of the bay (physical camera number). However, the
optional Master Control Software for Windows or the optional
Graphical User Interface software package can be used to change this
number to any unique number between 1 and 9999.
10.7 Camera Title
The camera identification display is the first 16 characters of the
lower line. These 16 characters are used to label each camera.
Each camera has its own title, which will be displayed whenever
that camera is called up for viewing. The characters can be
entered from the keyboard using a user function operation or may
be entered from the personal computer keyboard using the
optional Master Control Software for Windows or the optional
Graphical User Interface software package. There are 235 possible
characters to choose from.
10.8 Video Loss Detection
The Allegiant system is capable of detecting loss of video. When
the unit detects that an input has lost video, a "VIDEO NOT
PRESENT" message is displayed on the respective monitor.
NOTE: It may take up to five seconds for the unit to display the
video loss message, when a video source is disconnected.

FACTORY DEFAULT SETTINGS
As the Allegiant system is shipped from the factory, certain
features are placed in a default configuration. Some of these
features can be selected by the installer at the time of system
installation/configuration. Generally the default configuration
represents the simplest mode of operation. These default settings
are described below for reference.
11.1 User Selectable DIP Switch Settings For
System Configuration Options
NOTE: To gain Access to the DIP switches, refer to the section
on cover removal.
The circuit board contains two 8 position DIP switches (S0201
& S0202). The functions assigned to DIP switch S0201 are
reserved for certain accessory products and all settings should be
left in the OFF position. The options assigned to DIP switch
S0202 are as follows:

Switch 1
This switch is currently not used and should be left off.
Switch 2
This switch is currently not used and should be left off.
Switch 3
This switch is currently not used and should be left off.
Switch 4
If switch 4 is turned on (usually at time of system installation),
the Printer port on the rear panel is configured as an auxiliary
Console port. The Printer port has the same pin-out as the
normal Console port, so the Console cable supplied with the
LTC 8059/00 Master Control Software for Windows or LTC
8850/00 Graphical User Interface software package may be used
to interface with the Printer port when switch 4 is on.
Note: This feature can also be implemented via the "PRT2CON"
Command Console Language command using an external PC,
dumb terminal, or other computing device.
Communication parameters (baud & handshake) for the Printer
port can be set using Keyboard User Function 31 (covered later
in this manual), with the optional LTC 8059/00 Master Control
Software for Windows, or the LTC 8850/00 Graphical User
Interface software package.
Switch 5
Switch 5 controls the system security modes. When this switch is
set to ON (factory default), the system log-in features can be
controlled using keyboard User Function 27 and User Function
28 (refer to section on Keyboard User Functions for complete
information). Users with priority 1 can access User Function 27
to select if the system keyboard log-in feature will be enabled or
disabled. When enabled, the system keyboards require each user
to 'log-on' and 'log-off' the system. All users will be required to
enter a user number and the correct password before interaction
with the system is permitted.
Users with priority 1 can also access User Function 28 to select
if the Console port log-in feature will be enabled or disabled.
When enabled, any external PC or other computing device will
be required to 'log-on' and 'log-off' the system. Any external PC
or other computing device will be required to enter a user
number and the correct password before interaction with the
system is permitted.
If this switch is turned OFF (usually at time of system
installation) or if the features are disabled using User Functions
27 and 28, the system keyboards and the Console port are always
'on-line' with the system.
Switch 6
This switch is currently not used and should be left off.
Switch 7
Switch 7 controls the system keyboard polling mode. When
switch 7 is ON (factory default), the CPU will communicate with
system keyboards using a '6 poll byte' protocol. This format is
