3KEYBOARD MODELS

The LTC 8555 Series keyboards are available in four models. The table below summarizes the differences between models:

Model No.	Top bezel graphics	Protocol
LTC 8555/00	English text	RS-485
LTC 8555/01	Icons	RS-485
LTC 8555/02	English text	RS-232
LTC 8555/03	Icons	RS-232

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.
