3.
On an remote Allegiant PC configure it to start the Allegiant Network Host program
(ld_alghw.exe) on startup. This starts the necessary Allegiant services to allow other PCs
on the network to access the Allegiant. The software runs invisibly. It is not necessary to
have a dongle attached to this computer.
To have the service started on computer startup automatically, copy a link to
ld_alghw.exe to the Startup folder of your computer.
Creating a Bosch Allegiant configuration file
1.
Using the Allegiant Master Control Software, create a Allegiant configuration file that
specifies the computer attached to the Allegiant matrix. For this task, the Master Control
dongle is required.
2.
On the Transfer menu, click Communication Setup. In the Current Host list, enter the
DNS name of the computer connected to the Allegiant matrix, and enter the serial port
parameters (COM port number, baud rate, etc.) of the Allegiant-connected serial port.
This allows the Master Control Software on the Central Server or PC to go on-line with
the Allegiant system. If this is not successful, ensure that either the Master Control
Software or the Allegiant Network Host program is running on the computer attached to
the Allegiant matrix, and that the network security is configured to allow remote access
to this computer.
3.
On the Transfer menu, click Upload. Select all tables and click Upload. To save the
configuration file, select a directory.
4.
Exit the Master Control Software.
Adding the Bosch Allegiant matrix to Bosch Video Management System
1.
Start the Bosch Video Management System Central Server service, start the
Configuration Client, and add the Allegiant device by adding this configuration file (see
Section 6.3 Adding a device, page 23 for the step-by-step instruction).
2.
Ensure that the Allegiant Master Control Software configuration file used in Bosch Video
Management System matches the current Allegiant configuration.
Bosch Video Management System runs the required components of Master Control
Software invisibly in the background.
Configuring the user name for logging on the Allegiant services
If the Allegiant matrix is connected to a PC in the network and not to the Central Server,
ensure that the Allegiant services on this PC and on the Central Server log on with the same
user account. This user must be member of an administrators group.

Bosch Allegiant Satellite System Concept
The Allegiant matrix switch allows multiple Allegiant systems to be tied together using the
Satellite concept. In this case, multiple Allegiant systems can appear to the Bosch Video
Management System as one large system, providing access to all cameras on all systems.
In an Allegiant Satellite System, monitor outputs of a slave Allegiant are tied to video inputs on
the master Allegiant. This connection is called a trunk line. In addition, a control channel is
established between the master and the slave. When a camera from a slave Allegiant is
requested from the master Allegiant, a command is sent to the slave instructing it to switch
the requested camera to a trunk line. At the same time, the master Allegiant switches the
