TC8x59 Series Allegiant
Master Control Software
The
TC8x59
Series
Software consists of an IBM
program which allows quick and easy configuration
of standard system features. An appropriate Allegiant
Master Control Software package exists for each
type of Allegiant system, i.e., the TC8559 is used for
TC8500 Series systems, the TC8659 is used for
TC8600 Series systems, etc. The program provides
advanced alarm and sequence programming in
addition to other features which are not available
using the system keyboard. An on-line real-time
monitoring of system status and a keyboard
emulation mode is also included.
Other standard Master Control Software features
include:
user
passwords,
programmable time event functions, custom alarm
responses using the VersAlarm
keyboard emulation mode. In addition to the
operational switching sequences normally inputted
from the standard keyboard, much more complex
switching sequences may be programmed which
incorporate remote control commands as part of the
switching sequence. The ability to detect video loss
in TC8600 Series and TC8800 Series systems and to
monitor the system operation in real-time on all
systems is a standard feature of the Allegiant Master
Control Software package.
The TC8x59 Software package includes a 3 1/2-inch
program disk containing Allegiant Master Control

A special version, the TC8059, includes multiple
disks for programming TC8500 Series, TC8600
Series, and TC8800 Series Allegiant systems. The
TC8059 software package is intended to be used for
programming a mix of Allegiant systems operating in
a Satellite configuration.
The master control software program requires an
IBM PC or true IBM compatible PC with at least 640
k bytes of memory, DOS 3.0 or higher, one serial
port, one parallel port, and MDA, Hercules™, CGA,
EGA, or VGA display (or compatible).

Windows Based Allegiant Software

Graphical User Interface (GUI) to integrate and
control security systems. The GUI interfaces directly
to the Allegiant system and provides complete
control and programming of all system features. The
GUI software program requires an 486DX2-66 MHz
PC or better running Windows 95 or Windows NT
with at least 16Mbytes of memory, one serial port,
one parallel port, 3.5" floppy disk drive, mouse or
trackball, and SVGA display. Refer to the TC8850
