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
6.1
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).
6.2
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).
6.3
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.
6.4
"*" (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

6.6
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. If the
