LTC 8850 | Instruction Manual | Introduction
The LTC 8850 security key cannot be used for DOS-
based Master Control Software access. The black key
supplied with the customer's original Master Control
Software should be used.
1.4.3.2 Step 3-B. Update the Allegiant CPU Firmware
The Allegiant CPU firmware is upgraded by running a
program that downloads new operating firmware into
the Allegiant through a PC serial port. Follow the steps
below to perform this procedure:
•
Connect the supplied console cable (or a user-
supplied cable with the correct pin-out) from your
PC serial port 1 or serial port 2 to the Allegiant
console port (if you already have a console cable
connected, you can skip this step).
•
From the Windows START menu, select Programs |
LTC 8850 | MCS Directory. A DOS window will
open.
•
Type "download tc####.mot <com port>."
"####" is one of the following {8100, 8200, 8300,
8500, 8600, 8800, 8900}, as appropriate for your
system, and <com port> is the PC com port. Do
not include the quotation marks, and press ENTER
at the end of the line. Follow the directions
provided by the program. The download procedure
may take up to 30 minutes. Make sure that no
errors occur during the download - retry if errors
do occur.
•
In rare cases, a download error can put the
Allegiant system into a state where the download
program won't successfully re-establish
communications when it is retried. If this happens,
cycle the power on the Allegiant bay, and try the
download again. If a failure still occurs, locate DIP
switch S1001, S100, or S0201 on the Allegiant
CPU. Turn on DIP switch 5, and retry the
download program. After the download is
successful, turn switch 5 back off and cycle the
Allegiant System power.
1.4.4 Step 4. Run the GUI and Establish
Communications with the Allegiant System
If not already connected, connect the supplied console
cable (or a user-supplied cable with the appropriate
pin-out) from an appropriate PC serial port to the
Allegiant console port.
If not already connected, connect the supplied security

key to the parallel port of your computer. This device
can be connected in series with other security keys. If
multiple security keys are used, they can be inserted in
any order. A printer or other device can then be
connected to the security key. If a printer or other
device is attached, the security key may not function
properly unless the device is turned on. (NOTE: The
latest version of the GUI Allegiant Server version
requires keys later than those distributed with version
numbers 1.0X. Keys that will permit the latest version
to operate have the part numbers 303 1874 020 001
and 303 1874 021 000).
