For reference, the following table lists the Allegiant Series keyboard models and 
the protocol supported by each:
Switch 4 of S2
This switch allows the printer port on the rear of the main Allegiant bay to be 
configured as an auxiliary console port when it is turned 
ON. See the descrip-
tion above regarding switch 2 for information on using an auxiliary console port. 
The printer port has the same pin-out as the normal console port, so the con-
sole cable supplied with the optional LTC 8059/00 MCS package or with the 
optional LTC 8850/00 GUI Software package may be used to interface with the 
printer port when switch 4 is 
ON. Communication parameters (baud & hand-
shake) for the printer port can be set using a keyboard (see User Function 31), 
or with the optional LTC 8059/00 MCS package or with the optional 
LTC 8850/00 GUI Software package.
NOTE
This feature can also be implemented via the 
PRT2CON CCL command using an 
external PC, dumb terminal or other computing device. Refer to the Allegiant Com-
mand Console Language (CCL) manual for complete information about using CCL 
commands.
Switch 5 of S2
This switch controls the system security modes. When this switch is set to 
ON, 
the system log-in features can be controlled using keyboard User Function 27 
and User Function 28 (refer to the section on Keyboard User Functions for com-
plete information). Users with 
Priority 1 can access keyboard User Function 27 
to select if the system keyboard log-in feature is enabled or disabled. When 
enabled, the system keyboards require each user to log-in to the system and to 
log-off the system. All users are required to enter a user number and the correct 
password before the system permits interaction. 
Users with 
Priority 1 can also access User Function 28 to select if the console 
port log-in feature is enabled or disabled. When enabled, any external PC or 
other computing device is required to log-in to the system and to log-off the sys-
tem. All users are required to enter a user number and the correct password 
before the system permits interaction
If this switch is turned 
OFF or if the features are disabled using User Functions 
27 and 28, the system keyboards and the console port are always online with 
the system.
NOTE
When changing from the no 'log-on' mode to the 'log-on' mode, all system keyboards 
are initially 'logged-off'.
