Can I use YN-622N-TX as a remote shutter release?

I have Yongnuo YN-622N-TX and a couple of YN-622N transceivers for my flashes. I've heard that the TX unit can be used as a remote shutter release. Alas, Google is not my fried in this (perhaps I don't know what question to ask), the only thing I found that this is somehow related to LS-2.5 release cable.

How do I use the TX to remotely release the shutter on my D500?

OK, after a while I got back to this issue and found a solution. The YN-662N-TX came with a cable which has a phono jack on one side and a ten-pin connector on the other. I just discovered (needed to RTFM!) that my D500 has a ten-pin connector! It is hidden under a flap at the front of the camera. When you connect it, you can trigger the shutter remotely by pressing 'test' on the YN-662 unit.
