1 How to read this Guide
This guide contains the procedure for using an NJR-CTB Control Box to command IP-NINJAR series
products via LAN communication. The NJR-CTB is for 4K@60 and HDCP2.2 supported HDMI extenders
(NJR-T01UHD, transmitter and NJR-R01UHD, receiver) when usedwith a 10G LAN switch or within an
extended 10G LAN fabric environment*.
*An NJR-CTB is not required for point to point applications where and NJR-T01UHD is connected directly to
an NJR-R01UHD.

3 Communication configuration and Specifications
3.1 LAN communication
The NJR-CTB can be accessed and controlled through LAN communication.
Connecting a control device to the NJR-CTB’s LAN port enables system control and status querries per the
Command List.
Information:
The NJR-CTB can also be controlled from the WEB browser. Refer to “NJR-CTB User’s Guide”for details.
3.1.1 Setup of LAN communication
Follow the procedure below.
(1) Connect the control device to the MAINTENANCE port of NJR-CTB or LAN port of NJR-T01UHD /
NJR-R01UHD through a LAN cable.
(2) Factory default values of LAN communication are as follows.
IP address: 192.168.1.199
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Default gateway: 192.168.1.200
Establish the connection from the control device to the TCP port number 1100.
(3) Send communication command from the control device to the NJR-CTB.
You can control the NJR-CTB or NJR-T01UHD / NJR-R01UHD and get the status information using
communication command.

3.1.2 LAN port specification
LAN and MAINTENANCE port assignments are as follows.
Since Auto MDI / MDI-X that distinguishes and switches straight/cross cables automatically is supported,
extra care is not necessary to connect the NJR-CTB to PC, HUB or the like.

3.1.4 Limit on the number of TCP-IP connections and port overload management
The NJR-CTB’s maintenance port supports a maximum of eight simultaneous connections (eight logical
ports). To maintain optimal system accessibility, it is advisable to issue “port-open”and “port-close”
commands before and after command or query strings are issured. This approach enables eight or more
control devices to be effectively interfaced simultaneously and without concernfor communication errors. As a
safeguard, the NJR-CTB incorporates a 30-second timeout window for each port. If any port is inactive for
more than 30 seconds, it will be closed automatically.

Note:
If no command is sent from the PC side to the NJR-CTB for 30 seconds, the NJR-CTB automatically
disconnects from that device.

3.2 Connecting LAN cable
The NJR-T01UHD and NJR-R01UHD send broadcast packets through the 10G LAN ports periodically for the
purposes of internal system management. If the 10G LAN port is connected to an existing network, it may
cause a broadcast storm* and may severely interefere with normal network operation. Contact IDK before
attempting to connect the 10G LAN ports of an IP-NINJAR syetem to any existing network infrastructure.
*A broadcast storm occurs when a network is overwhelmed by continuous broadcast traffic resulting in a
network meltdown.
During installation, it is important to avoid the creation of network loops. Contact IDK if you require assistance
with network implementation.

4 Command
4.1 Summary
A command consists of “@”(“40”in hexadecimal), 3 or 4 one-byte alphabetical characters (upper and lower
cases) followed by parameters (one-byte numbers). For some commands, multiple parameter values can be
specified. Processing is executed by sending a delimiter at the end of the command.
Example: @RCPP,0,0,1,1
“,”(a comma, “2C”in hex) is indicated between a command and parameter and between two parameters.
“ ” is indicated as a delimiter CR LF (return+line feed, “0D”and “0A”in hex).
■If an error occurs:
An error response is returned if an undefined command or inappropriate parameter is included.
Example: @RCPP,0
@ERR,1
