Installation
Connecting an optional foot switch or remote
keypad
The optional foot switch and remote keypad are connected to the
RJ-45 connector (
1
) on the side of the ND 2100G.
Often, only the optional foot switch or remote keypad is used.
However, two options can be connected simultaneously using a RJ-45
splitter (
2
).
The foot switch and remote keypad can be used individually or in
combination:
foot switch
foot switch and remote keypad
When the foot switch and remote keypad are connected using the
RJ-45 splitter (
2
), 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:
U
Verify that the ND 2100G is off
U
Plug an RJ-45 splitter (
2
) into the ND 2100G RJ-45 connector (
1
) if
multiple devices will be used
U
Connect the RJ-45 plug of the devices into the RJ-45 splitter (
2
) if
multiple devices will be used, or directly into the ND 2100G RJ-45
connector (
1
) if only a single device will be used
RJ-45 connector and RJ-45 splitter.
