14 Factory Default Settings
As the Allegiant system is shipped from the factory, certain features are placed in a 
default configuration. The installer can select some of these features at the time of 
system installation/configuration. Generally the default configuration represents the 
simplest mode of operation, allowing the user to become familiar with the system 
before any advanced features are selected. The default settings are described in the 
sections below.
14.1 User Selectable DIP Switch Settings for Main CPU Bay
NOTE
After changing any of the following switches, the system must either be powered 
OFF and ON or reset using the keyboard (see user function 15).
14.1.1 Upper CPU DIP Switch S1
System CPU modules contain three (3) 8-position DIP switches. The settings of the 
upper DIP switch do not need to be changed from their factory default positions 
except when using a Console Port Expander accessory unit or if a problem is 
encountered when downloading new firmware into the CPU. For reference, the 
functions are as follows:
Switch 1 and 2 of S1
These switches are not used in these systems and should be left 
OFF.
Switch 3 of S1
This switch should be set to 
ON if an LTC 8712 Series Console Port Expander is 
connected to the Allegiant’s console port. This selection can also be set using 
either the MCS or the PC-based GUI Software package.
Switch 4 of S1
Use this switch to set the communication baud rate that the Allegiant will use 
when connected to a LTC 8712 Series Console Port Expander. It is only applica-
ble when DIP switch 3 is in the 
ON position. When set to ON, the baud rate will 
be 57,600 bps (recommended setting). When 
OFF, the baud rate follows the 
setting determined via DIP switch 8 of the lower CPU DIP switch. If switch 8 of 
the lower DIP switch is 
OFF, the baud rate defaults to 19,200 bps. If switch 8 of 
the lower DIP switch is 
ON, the user programmed baud setting is used, but the 
user setting must be 19,200 baud or higher in order to operate.
Switch 5 of S1
In the 
ON position, this switch is used to force the CPU into a “boot” mode so it 
is ready to accept a download of an operating system program via its console 
port. This setting should not be changed unless a problem has been encoun-
tered while attempting to download a new operating system program. When 
this mode is enabled, the baud rate is fixed to 115200 and hardware handshake 
is 
ON.
Switch 6, 7, and 8 of S1
These switches do not currently provide user selectable options and should be 
left 
OFF.
