LTC 8850 | Instruction Manual | Introduction

1.3.2 Minimum System Requirements

Before using the GUI, make sure that the host

computer meets the following minimum system

requirements:

•

Microsoft Windows compatible PC, Intel

120 MHz or greater

•

Windows NT 4.0 (Service Pack 6 or later);

Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows 95/98/ME

(Note

)

•

CD-ROM drive

•

32 MB of RAM

•

One serial port

•

One parallel port configured for bidirectional

operation (Examine BIOS settings if necessary)

•

Super VGA display or compatible

•

For LTC 8850 Network Configurations:

Windows NT, 2000, or, XP is required on all

workstations. Windows Server is required on PC

attached to Allegiant if number of workstations

exceeds 10.

NOTE

: Because of resource limitations imposed by

Windows 95/98/ME, complex site installations (those

having approximately 10 site maps or more) should be

configured only on PCs running Windows NT 4.0,

Windows 2000 or Windows XP.

1.3.3 The Security Key

Before the program will run on the host computer, the

hardware security key must be connected to a parallel

port of the computer. Locate this port (possibly labeled

LPT) with the help of the hardware manual that comes

with the host computer. Make sure the computer is

turned off. Push the security key into place and secure

it with the screws on the key. Be careful not to

overtighten the screws.

A printer or other device can be connected onto the

security key, but the key might not function properly

unless the device is turned on.

In the event the security manager does not wish other

people to gain access to the GUI, the key may be

removed and locked for safekeeping. The GUI will

run in Demo mode without the software key attached.

1.3.4 The Console Interface Cable

For functions that require communication between the

GUI and the main Allegiant system, the supplied

LTC 8506/00 interface cable must connect the host

computer to the Allegiant main bay. Attach the 9-pin

Pentium

connector on the supplied cable to the port labeled

CONSOLE on the rear of the Allegiant main bay.

Plug the 9-pin connector on the other end of the cable

into an available serial port on the host computer

(PC). This port might be labeled COM1 or COM2. In

order for serial communications to operate properly,

the PC and the Allegiant system must use the same

communication parameters. For reference, the cable

pinouts are as follows:
