ALLEGIANT SERVER ICONS
3.1.1
Introduction
The Allegiant server is used to configure and control
Allegiant systems. The server provides a seedbar to
installer level users when it is started by the GUI. The
seedbar is used to place icons into the map pages
which represent actual devices in the Allegiant system.
The majority of the functions discussed in the
following descriptions are only available to users with
installer or administrator level privileges.

icons can then be assigned within the map to reflect
actual physical positioning of the field devices in a
surveillance site.

By clicking once on a camera, monitor, or alarm
icon with the right mouse button, the following right-
