The Main site system must be programmed via the MCS LTC 8059/00 or the 
LTC 8850/00 GUI to identify camera trunk line inputs as well as remote satellite 
cameras. All systems must be configured with no duplicate camera numbers any-
where in the system. The installer should verify that the camera numbers pro-
grammed into the Start-up Camera field of the Monitor Table are suitable for 
viewing by respective operators. If there are Lockouts programmed into the system, 
specifying a neutral camera would prevent the situation where a restricted camera 
could be switched to a restricted operator's monitor when their trunk line is stolen. 
For this feature to operate properly, the start-up camera numbers must be locally 
connected cameras or a local unused input (i.e., the raster generator will be dis-
played when called-up).
In addition, it is recommended to program Lockouts for all system keyboards so 
that they do not have access to unused monitor outputs. This prevents operators 
from inadvertently selecting a satellite camera on a non-existent monitor which will 
result in a trunk link becoming used up, possibly making less trunk lines available 
for valid selections.
Keyboard User Function 41 (See Chapter 14, “User Information,” on page 38) offers 
additional programming options if a multi-level cascaded Allegiant satellite system 
configuration is being used.
Any alarm inputs to the Main site configured to activate satellite cameras operate 
normally except when limited by the number of available trunk lines. The software 
automatically determines trunk usage, depending on the priority level of operators 
currently viewing satellite cameras.
Alarm inputs applied at a satellite site will NOT activate alarm video at the Main 
site. If the application requires alarms located at a satellite to activate video at the 
Main site, the Main site's LTC 8540/00 Alarm Interface unit must be remotely 
located. Multiple LTC 8540/00 Alarm Interfaces may be remoted via the LTC 8713 
alarm port expander accessory, located at the Main switcher site in LTC 8800 and 
LTC 8900 systems. Up to two (2) LTC 8540/00 alarm interfaces with a LTC 8713 
alarm port expander can be used in a LTC 8600 system. One LTC 8540/00 can be 
used in LTC 8500 systems. Since the LTC 8100, LTC 8200, and LTC 8300 Series 
contain an integral alarm interface, the remote alarm interface application does not 
apply.
A unique time and date synchronizing feature provided in the Time Event Table of 
the MCS or the GUI Software may be programmed into the Main site switcher. 
This permits periodic synchronizing of the time and date to all remote switchers in 
the system based on the Main site's clock. 
A conceptual diagram of a satellite switching system is follows:
