Your keyboard can control ZMX+, ZMXStorm, ZMX/../9, ZMX/../16 and ZTX6/.. units over the BaxNet network. Note throughout
this manual, ZMX+, ZMXStorm, ZMX/../9, ZMX/../16 are referred to collectively as ZMX.. .
Fig. 1 Connection to a ZTX6
You can connect multiple keyboards, multiple ZMX.. and multiple ZTX6/.. units on a single network providing that the total

If you wish to wire your network using 8 pin RJ45s then Appendix A gives details of the RJ45 connections on the rear of your
keyboard.
DESCRIPTION OF UNIT IDS
Each unit on the BaxNet network requires a Unit ID number. This Unit ID is used to select a unit for control. The keyboard
Unit ID determines the control priority over other keyboards (lower number keyboards take precedence over higher
number keyboards).
The table below defines the maximum number of units which can be installed on a single BaxNet network and their valid
unit IDs. For a more full explanation see Unit IDs - Legal Values. Note that Unit ID 0 is reserved do not use it.
* Total number of devices connected including keyboards must not exceed 32. Therefore with 8 keyboards 24 other
devices may be connected, with 3 keyboards, 29 other devices etc.
CONNECTING A SINGLE KEYBOARD TO A SINGLE ZMX.. OR ZTX6/..
The keyboard accepts power over the BaxNet network (max distance 10 metres) from a ZMX.. or a ZTX6/.. . Each can
power a single keyboard.
Connect the leads as shown in figures 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5.
If you are only using a single keyboard, the installation is now complete. The ZTX6/.. Unit ID is displayed on power-up. The
ZMX.. Unit ID will need setting in the COMMUNICATIONS, RS485 menu, refer to your ZMX.. instructions.

ZKX3-.. Keyboard Installation and Operating Instructions
TERMINATING/BIASING THE BAXNET NETWORK
The keyboard has built in network termination and/or biasing. For most small to medium sized installations, it should not
be necessary to change the switches from their default settings. Only for large installations should your network require
biasing and/or terminating. Contact Baxall Security Limited for advice. The switches are shown below for your reference.
The default setting for switches 1, 2 and 3 is OFF. Switch 4 is not used.
BAXNET - UNIT IDs AND KEYBOARD PRIORITIES
The Unit ID is a number between 1 and 32. It is used to select a ZMX.. or ZTX6/.. for control from your keyboard and also
to decide the priority of one keyboard over another (lower numbers take precedence).
UNIT IDs - KEYBOARD PRIORITIES
The priority of keyboards over each other is determined by the value of the Unit ID. Keyboards with a lower value Unit ID
take precedence over keyboards with a higher Unit ID. A higher priority keyboard can take control of a ZMX.. or ZTX6/..
immediately and at any time from a lower priority keyboard. A lower priority keyboard must wait for 30 seconds from the
last command by the higher priority unit before it can take control. If another command from the higher priority keyboard
is sent in this time then it must wait another 30 seconds. The following control messages are displayed on on the ZKX
keyboard:
CONTROL LOST Indicated when a higher priority keyboard on BaxNet has taken control or when the current keyboard
has timed out.
CONTROL UNIT #n Indicated when the current keyboard has control over all other keyboards on the BaxNet connection.
To re-activate control of a keyboard that has timed-out (CONTROL LOST), operate the pan or tilt keys.
UNIT IDs - LEGAL VALUES
IMPORTANT NOTE: Use the table to decide the Unit IDs. ZKX3-..s Unit IDs must be between 1 and 8
Setting the unit ID is included in the ZTX6/.. instructions, setting the unit ID on a ZMX.. is done in the COMMUNICATIONS,
RS485 menu and setting the unit ID on the keyboard is described below.
The following table gives the valid unit IDs for the listed products. Note that Unit ID 0 is reserved do not use it.
UNIT IDS - CHANGING THE UNIT ID ON YOUR KEYBOARD
Read these instructions thoroughly before attempting to change the Unit ID.
1. Disconnect the power from your keyboard
2. Reconnect the power
3. Within 5 seconds of reconnecting the power, press the two keys shown below simultaneously.

ZKX3-.. Keyboard Installation and Operating Instructions
BASIC OPERATIONS
ZKX3-.. keyboards are provided with a means of controlling cameras fitted with pan/tilt heads. Depending upon the
keyboard model, this may be either a three axis joystick (ZKX3-J) or a control disk (ZKX3-K). Where on screen programming
is required, these controls serve to input text, navigate through menus, etc. Important Note: During power-up, the
keyboard performs a joystick calibration function. Do not move the joystick during this period until the keyboard has been
properly initialised.
Control Disk Joystick
Note: In the following function table + indicates an action followed by another action e.g. Unit ID + means enter the
Unit ID number using the numerical keys then press the Select Unit key. AND indicates the simultaneous action of two
keys e.g.
F
AND means press the Function and Menu keys simultaneously.
