You can apply the Satellite concept such that an Allegiant can be both a master and a slave. In
this way, each Allegiant can view cameras from the others. It is only necessary to connect
trunk lines and control lines in both directions, and to properly configure the Allegiant tables.
The concept can be further extended, with no practical limit, to multiple Allegiant systems. An
Allegiant can have many slaves, and it can be a slave to many masters. You can program the
Allegiant tables to allow or disallow user access to camera views as required by site policies.

Scenarios for CCTV keyboard connections

You can connect a CCTV keyboard to the COM port of a Bosch Video Management System
workstation (scenario 1) or to a hardware decoder (e.g. VIP XD, scenario 2).
If you connect the keyboard to a Bosch Video Management System workstation, you can
control the complete system. If you connect the keyboard to a decoder, you can only control
the analog monitors of the system.
NOTICE!
For connecting the CCTV keyboard with a Bosch Video Management System workstation, use
the specified Bosch cable.
For connecting the CCTV keyboard with a VIP XD decoder, you need a cable which connects a
serial COM port of the keyboard with the serial interface of the decoder. See
Section 25.3.2 Connecting a CCTV keyboard to a decoder, page 163 for connections.
