en | Installing the IntuiKey Keyboard
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.
The RS-232 keyboard can now be connected to the appropriate port of the Port Expander, as
shown in Figure 3.7.

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.

IntuiKey Terminal Mode
When the IntuiKey is operating in Terminal mode, its behavior is completely determined by the
third-party software running on a PC. All communication between the keyboard and the third-
party PC is performed through an RS-232 interface. The following diagram illustrates this
configuration:
Figure 3.8 Terminal Mode
This connection requires a standard Null modem RS232 link. If desired, the Bosch Security
Systems cable S1385 can be used. Connect one end of the RS-232 interface cable to the 9-pin
RS-232 Serial Port located on the far right side of the rear of the keyboard. Connect the other
end of the RS-232 interface cable to a COM port on the PC.

wish to change any of these settings, refer to the following information and procedures for the
