Configuring the user name for logging on the Allegiant services
If the Allegiant matrix is connected to a PC in the network and not to the Management Server,
ensure that the Allegiant services on this PC and on the Management Server log on with the
same user account. This user must be member of an administrators group.

Bosch Allegiant Satellite System Concept
The Allegiant matrix switch allows multiple Allegiant systems to be tied together using the
Satellite concept. In this case, multiple Allegiant systems can appear to the Bosch VMS as one
large system, providing access to all cameras on all systems.
2013.03 | V1 | Configuration Client
Stop the Management Server service if running (Start > Control Panel > Services > Right-
click Bosch VMS Management Server > Stop)
Install the Allegiant Master Control Software on the Management Server and on the
Allegiant PC (if present).
On an remote Allegiant PC configure it to start the Allegiant Network Host program
(ld_alghw.exe) on startup. This starts the necessary Allegiant services to allow other PCs
on the network to access the Allegiant. The software runs invisibly. It is not necessary to
have a dongle attached to this computer.
To have the service started on computer startup automatically, copy a link to
ld_alghw.exe to the Startup folder of your computer.
Using the Allegiant Master Control Software, create a Allegiant configuration file that
specifies the computer attached to the Allegiant matrix. For this task, the Master Control
dongle is required.
On the Transfer menu, click Communication Setup. In the Current Host list, enter the
DNS name of the computer connected to the Allegiant matrix, and enter the serial port
parameters (COM port number, baud rate, etc.) of the Allegiant-connected serial port.
This allows the Master Control Software on the Management Server or PC to go on-line
with the Allegiant system. If this is not successful, ensure that either the Master Control
Software or the Allegiant Network Host program is running on the computer attached to
the Allegiant matrix, and that the network security is configured to allow remote access
to this computer.
On the Transfer menu, click Upload. Select all tables and click Upload. To save the
configuration file, select a directory.
Exit the Master Control Software.
Start the Bosch VMS Management Server service, start the Configuration Client, and add
the Allegiant device by adding this configuration file (see Adding a device, page 65 for
the step-by-step instruction).
Ensure that the Allegiant Master Control Software configuration file used in Bosch VMS
matches the current Allegiant configuration.
Bosch VMS runs the required components of Master Control Software invisibly in the
background.
