Allegiant Keyboards
7.4 Modem Dialing (applies to LTC 855/02 and LTC 8555/03 models
only)
The LTC 8555/02 and LTC 8555/03 keyboard models support the ability to dial the phone
number of an attached modem. When the keyboard is offline, pressing ENTER causes it to go
into dial mode. Modem initialization takes a few seconds, then the keyboard displays "dial" in
the camera number display.
Enter the phone number via the keypad. The "*" (star) button can be used to insert a pause
between digits. The digits scroll to the left in the monitor display as the phone number is
entered. Use CLEAR to backspace over the digits in the reverse order that they were entered.
Although the modem remembers all digits entered, the keyboard only remembers the last
four, so if CLEAR is pressed repeatedly, the display begins to show periods after it has cleared
4 digits.
Once the entire number has been entered, press ENTER to initiate modem dialing. Press USER
at any time to cancel dialing. Dialing is also cancelled if CLEAR or ENTER is pressed when no
digits have been entered.
The keyboard will flash the word "dial" in its display until a connection with the system is
established, and it begins to receive data from the Allegiant switcher. If no data is received
within one minute, the keyboard will time out and return to the flashing dashes mode.
If the modem is online, and the user is logged in, pressing USER 190 ENTER forces the modem
to hang up immediately.

Keyboard Operating Instructions

7.5.1

Camera Selection

In default mode, enter a valid 1 to 4 digit camera number using the numeric keypad and press
ENTER.
If the Allegiant is configured to operate in "6-digit Camera ID" mode, up to 6 digits can be
entered. If the new camera is at the same "site" as the current camera, simply enter 1 to 4
camera number digits.
If the desired camera is at a different "site", 5 or 6 digits must be entered. The first and
second digits would be the site number and the remaining 4 digits, including any leading zeros
would be the camera number at that site.
Note: The keyboard's CAMERA button does not need to be used for simple camera selections.
The button is only useful when it's necessary to cancel a previous incomplete action, such as
canceling a monitor selection, and return to the camera number entry mode.
7.5.2

Monitor Selection

To select which monitor will respond to the operator 's keyboard commands, press MONITOR.
Enter a valid monitor number via the numeric keypad and press ENTER. The number of the
selected monitor will appear on the keyboard's monitor display.
7.5.3

Lock or Unlock Control of a Camera

Press LOCK, then ON to lock a camera, or OFF to unlock a camera. If the camera to be locked
is not the one currently being viewed, enter the camera number via the numeric keyboard, but
do not press ENTER, before you press LOCK.
If the Status option is enabled, the section of the on-screen overlay between the camera
number and the time now shows "RL", indicating the camera is locked. Activating a camera
lock immediately prevents other operators (unless they have a higher priority) from
controlling the locked pan/tilt/zoom camera. Remember to unlock the camera when finished
so that all operators can access it.
