Allegiant System Command Scripts for RS-232 Model Keyboards

When a keyboard is being connected to an Allegiant's Console port, or an Allegiant Printer
port configured to operate in the Console mode, the Allegiant must be preprogrammed so the
port will operate in the RS-232 keyboard mode.
The mode of the Allegiant's Console port can be changed either by a manually entered ASCII
text command, or preprogramming the Allegiant CPU with an Allegiant Command Script. The
Command Script method is preferred since the appropriate settings are automatically
restored after a system power loss or reset. Manually entered commands remain valid only
until the system is reset or powered off/on, so typically they should be used only for
temporary or test purposes.
To manually configure an Allegiant's Console port to operate in the keyboard mode, it is
necessary to connect to the system via Windows® HyperTerminal or another dumb terminal
emulator.
NOTICE! Allegiant Console and Printer RS-232 ports do not use a standard RS-232 pinout. Use
i
of an Allegiant Console cable LTC 8506/00 is recommended as seen in the pinout diagram
below.

Once online with the system, an Allegiant prompt appears each time Enter is pressed. The
prompt looks as follows:
TC8x00 >
where x is a digit from one to nine (depending on the Allegiant model).
At the system prompt, manually enter the appropriate command, based on the Allegiant port
in use, and type of keyboard interface. Refer to the table below to determine the correct
command. Enter the command exactly as shown below, then press ENTER.
