(standard keyboard) Installation
There are several options available for connecting
these keyboard models to an Allegiant system. The
keyboard is supplied with a 3 m (10 ft) cable for local
hookups, as shown in FIGURE 1. Using the optional
LTC 8558/00 cable, a keyboard can be remoted up to
30 m (100 ft) per FIGURE 2. In both of these cases,
the keyboard cable can be connected directly to the
RJ-11 keyboard port located on the rear panel of the
Allegiant system where it will be provided with both
data and power.
