{{Warn|Uncheck Enable control of relay IDLE state, unless you specifically know how this override works in Nx Witness VMS and what you are using it for. For example, if not unchecked, Nx Witness standard setting causes relay to be constantly activated, meaning door will be constantly unlocked in the Zenitel device.}}

*Enable ONVIF Discovery Service means that Nx Witness VMS can search for and discover Zenitel devices on the local network.
*Report DAK as digital input in ONVIF means that call button push can be used in Nx Witness VMS to create alarm, start recording, open video stream, etc

====Enable audio====

On each Zenitel device listed go to the camera settings and enable audio.

<table style="max-width:80%; border-style: double; border-color: #c7c7c7;">
<tr style="rowspan:2;">
<td style="display: block; vertical-align: bottom;">[[Image:Nxwitness2.png|400px]]</td>

</table>
<br>

====Create a new Event Rule for the devices====

You can set a number of event rules for Zenitel devices connected, by going into the Camera Rules tab of each device.
We recommend as a minimum to set the following rule to get desktop notifications when a call button on the Zenitel devices is pressed:
 
*When: Input Signal on Camera
*At: Device
*Input ID: automatic
*Action: Show desktop notification
*Interval of action: unchecked (instant)
*To: User
*Apply the rule
