The Z-Brick connector is a legacy connection. It is there just for backwards-compatibility on existing systems. It is highly recom-

mended that you do not use the Z-Brick connector for attaching Z-Bricks. Instead, just send DMX-512 to them just as you would for
any other GilderGear. The Z-Brick connector will likely not be installed unless specifically requested on new builds of Br-ANAs.
