Installation
Connecting an optional foot switch or remote
keypad
The optional foot switch and remote keypad are connected to the
RJ-45 connector on the side of the ND 1200R.
Often, only the optional foot switch or remote keypad is used.
However, two options can be connected simultaneously using a RJ-45
splitter.
The RJ-45 connector and splitter are shown here:
The foot switch and remote keypad can be used individually or in
combination:
 foot switch
 remote keypad
 foot switch and remote keypad
When the foot switch and remote keypad are connected using the
RJ-45 splitter, all operating functions of each device are retained.
However, the switch shares Hot Key mapping with the number keys
7 and 8 of the remote keypad. As a result, functions assigned to the
two switch contacts will also be mapped to remote keypad numbers
7 and 8.
To connect the foot switch or remote keypad:
 Verify that the ND 1200R is off.
 Plug an RJ-45 splitter into the ND 1200R RJ-45 connector if multiple
devices will be used.
 Connect the RJ-45 plug of the devices into the RJ-45 splitter if
multiple devices will be used, or directly into the ND 1200R RJ-45
connector if only a single device will be used.
