3.3.2 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.

The Allegiant RS-232 settings are user-programmable, but the default settings are:

– Baud: 19,200

– Stop bits: 1

– Data bits: 8

–Parity: None

– Handshake: None

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.

NOTICE! Allegiant Console and Printer RS-232 ports do not use a standard RS-232 pinout. Use

of an Allegiant Console cable LTC 8506/00 is recommended as seen in the pinout diagram

below.
