The LTC 8555/00 and LTC 8555/01 models use the
Allegiant RS-485 communication protocol, and are the
most common versions. These models are ready to
operate as soon as they’re connected to the Allegiant
system.
The LTC 8555/02 and LTC 8555/03 are similar, but
use an RS-232 communication protocol. These models
can be used with communication links such as dial-up
modems, or other media that support full duplex RS-
232 transmission. Since the RS-232 models connect to
the Allegiant’s RS-232 ports rather than the standard
RS-485 keyboard ports, some initial configuration
programming of the Allegiant switcher is necessary.
With a few minor exceptions, general operation is
identical for all models.
Although the LTC 8555/00 and LTC 8555/01 are
compatible with Allegiant systems of any age, the
LTC 8555/02 and LTC 8555/03 models require
Allegiant CPU firmware version 7.6 or higher.
Although this version was released in late 1998, it is
possible to update older systems using a firmware
download in some cases or by replacement of the CPU
module with a current version. If necessary, contact
your local sales office for additional details.
