ZaxNet Quick Start Guide for TRX Transmitter Control
1. From Nomad:
a. In the Main Menu, select ZaxNet Setup.
b. Scroll down and select Input Configure. To be able to use ZaxNet, make sure that Input Type is set to 8 or higher.
c. Power cycle Nomad.
d. Return to the ZaxNet Setup menu.
e. Make sure IFB Mode is set to TX or TX+RX.
f. Set TX Channel to the frequency you’ll be using.
Tip: There are several smart phone apps, which will show you what Wi-Fi frequencies are being used in your
area. This can be useful in selecting an open frequency.
g. Scroll down to Group Code and pick a number. Unless you’re using multiple Zaxcom IFB transmitters, you can
just leave this set to 1.
h. Set IFB Jam mode to Auto Load.
i. Set Transport CMDS to Slaved.
2. Turn on your Zaxcom transmitter while holding down the MENU key to access the Extended Menu.
a. Press the MENU key to get to the IFB Frequency page. Make sure that the 2.4 GHz frequency on the transmitter
is the same as the one that you selected in Nomad’s ZaxNet Setup.
b. Press the MENU key to go to the TC Jam Mode. Make sure that it’s set to Auto-Load.
c. Press the MENU key to go to the TC Source. Set it to IFB (RF) so that it is receiving TC wirelessly from Nomad.
d. Press the MENU key to go to the Remote Control Group ID. Make sure that the Group ID number on the Zaxcom
transmitter matches the number that was chosen in the ZaxNet Setup.
e. Press the MENU key to enter the Remote Control Unit ID. This number will correspond to the ZaxNet input on
Nomad. For example, 001 on the Remote control Id will correspond to input 1 on the Nomad, 002 will correspond
to input 2 on the Nomad, etc.
f. Press the MENU key until you get to the Allow IFB Remote Control. This should be set to ON.
g. Power cycle the transmitter to save your settings.
3. If you’d like to assign a Nomad fader to control the transmitter gain:
a. Go to the Main Menu and select Fader Assign.
b. When you see the matrix press the Star key.
c. In the routing matrix, select the appropriate box and press the MENU knob until it displays a Z. The Z cross point
tells the fader to control the transmitter’s gain via ZaxNet.
4. The transmitter should now be receiving timecode from the Nomad, go into record mode when you hit record on
the Nomad, and you should be able to control the gain and change the frequency of the transmitter.
