User Selectable DIP Switch Settings for Main CPU Bay

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.
13.1 User Selectable DIP Switch Settings for Main CPU Bay
NOTE
After changing any of the following switches, the system must either be pow-
ered OFF and ON or reset using the keyboard (see User Function 15).
Upper CPU DIP Switch S1001
System CPU modules contain two (2) 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 S1001
These switches are not used in these systems and should be left OFF.
Switch  3  of S1001
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 S1001
This switch is used to set the communication baud rate which the Allegiant will 
use when connected to a LTC 8712 Series Console Port Expander. It is only 
applicable 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 fol-
lows 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.
