3.1.8 Block Seeding
An alternate way to seed icons is to drag them directly
from the Allegiant Server configuration tables. From
the GUI Server menu, select the Allegiant document
that you previously have opened. This will make the
Allegiant tables visible. Size the windows so the
Allegiant tables and the map are visible. Camera and
monitor icons can be seeded directly from the camera
and monitor tables. Alarm icons can be seeded from
the Alarm/Normal/Alarms table. To seed icons from
these tables, select an entire row, then drag them into
the map. Rows are selected by clicking on the first
column of the row: Camera Input, Monitor number, or
Alarm number. Multiple rows can be selected by
clicking on this first column and moving up or down
over the additional rows. Alternatively, after selecting
one row, hold down the SHIFT key and click on
another row. The formerly selected row will remain
selected, and the new row and all of the rows in-
between will be selected. Noncontinuous rows can be
selected by holding down the control key as you select
rows. After the desired rows have been selected, press
the left mouse button on the first column of one of the
selected rows. While pressing the mouse button, drag
the cursor over the map window. The selected devices
will be seeded and can be moved to the appropriate
positions. The mouse cursor must be over the active
window in the map for this to work. The icons are
seeded with their given titles.

for the Allegiant configuration tables. It can run
automatically by the GUI, or it can run as a stand

The online help can be accessed in several ways.
Selecting Contents from the Help menu will display a
list of topics available. Help for these topics can be
accessed by clicking on the desired selection. In any of
the help screens, underlined words or phrases indicate
that more help is available. Clicking on the underlined

The Allegiant Server also provides context sensitive
help. When the F1 function key is pressed, help for
the currently selected item will be presented.
Alternatively, the Context Help button in the toolbar

Context Help toolbar button:
When this button is clicked, the cursor will change to
an arrow/question mark. When this cursor is active,
clicking on any item in the Allegiant Server window
will call up help for that item.
3.2.3 Going Online
Before any communication with the Allegiant System
can take place, the Allegiant Server must successfully
Go Online. Many of the operations described in the
following sections assume that the Allegiant Server is
Online, so the process of going online will be
discussed first.
The Allegiant Server communicates with the Allegiant
system through one of the PC's serial ports, which are
referred to as COM1, COM2, etc., or through a
network. For direct PC-to-Allegiant connections, the
first step in going online is to select the appropriate
serial port and to configure the communication
