KBD-Universal (RS-232 Protocol) Installation
The KBD-Universal keyboard can be connected to either an Allegiant LTC 8712 Series Console
Port Expander accessory unit, or the 9-pin Console or Printer (if equipped) RS-232 port on the
back of the Allegiant system. The keyboard may be connected via hardwired cable, dial-up
modem, or using another type of communication system conforming to standard RS-232
transmission.
For each keyboard being installed, a user-supplied 9-pin mating connector, and user-supplied
cable suitable for use with RS-232 signals is required.
NOTICE! To configure the IntuiKey to operate using Allegiant RS-232 protocol, enter the
i
Keyboard Control menu and press the protocol button. Enter the password (see APPENDIX A)
to change the protocol mode from RS-485 to RS-232.
Refer to the most applicable configuration diagram. See Figure 3.6 or Figure 3.7.
3.3.1
Keyboard Number Assignments when Using RS-232 Model Keyboards
Use of RS-232 protocol keyboards does not increase the total number of keyboards that can
be connected to an Allegiant switcher. When an RS-232 keyboard is connected in the system,
a standard keyboard port will automatically become disabled. The disabled keyboard port
number will be based on the interface connection type of the RS-232 keyboard. Keeping track
of these keyboard numbers is necessary when priority-based restrictions, or other keyboard
related lockouts, are assigned and used in the system.
The table below indicates which keyboard number will be assigned, based on the connection
being used.
