Allegiant Server
deactivation action commands is limited to 88 characters. If complex actions are required, custom CCL
command scripts can be generated (see Command Scripts). These scripts can then be used as the activation and
deactivation actions in Bilinx Action table.
For convenience, input 1 for each camera channel is defaulted to invoke a standard system alarm response
(assuming an appropriate configuration response has been programmed) when input 1 of an AutoDome camera
is activated. These default actions can be changed as required for any particular application. Inputs 2 to 4 and the
Dark Alarm responses have no default action, and can be configured as needed by the system administrator.

Data Transfers
The data that is entered into the Allegiant Server tables is not automatically transferred to the Allegiant system.
To transfer the data, a Download or Upload operation must be performed. Before any transfer can take place, the
Allegiant Server must be online with the Allegiant system. See the
Going Online
SECTION. In the discussion
that follows, the term
Download
means the transfer of data from the Allegiant Server to the Allegiant system. On
the other hand, the term
Upload
means the transfer of data from the Allegiant system to the Allegiant Server
program.
There are several methods of transferring data between the Allegiant Server and the Allegiant system. Each table
provides
Download
and
Upload
buttons located at the bottom of the tables. These buttons apply only to the
table currently displayed. For example, pressing the
Download
button when the Monitor table is displayed will
transfer the data displayed in the Allegiant Server monitor table to the Allegiant system.
The second method of transferring tables can be accessed through the
system
menus or through toolbar buttons.
The
Transfer

and

menu selections allow the transfer of multiple tables. Either
selection will display a dialog box with checkbox selections for each table. All tables for which the box is checked
will be transferred either as uploaded or downloaded.

Once displayed, the full functionality of the System Status application is available to all users regardless of their
access level to the Allegiant / GUI.
