3 Pr ecautions for shipping
The NJR-AB08DAN has an SFP+ optical transceiver that makes it vulnerable to damage caused by
mishandling during shipment if it is improperly packaged.
If, for any reason, you need to ship the NJR-AB08DAN, use the carton and cushion which were used at the
time of purchase. Make sure to plug the attached dust cap into the SFP+ optical transceiver. If you do not
have the carton and cushion, unplug the SFP+ optical transceiver from the NJR and plug the dust cap, and
then put it in an antistatic bag with enough cushion. Use the appropriate carton and cushion for shipping.

Configuration example: Connecting the NJR-AB08DAN to IP-NINJAR and Dante networks
① Audio signal that is input from source device to the NJR-T01UHD is transmitted to the NJR-AB08DAN.
The NJR-AB08DAN transcodes the audio signal to Dante protocol and outputs the signal to Dante
network.
② Audio signal that is input from Dante network to the NJR-AB08DAN is transcoded to IP-NINJAR protocol.
The audio signal is transmitted from IP-NINJAR network to the NJR-R01UHD, and the signal can be
output from the NJR-R01UHD HDMI output connector or analog audio output connector.

8 Precautions
Before connecting to external devices, follow the precautions below.
8.1 Attaching Rubber feet
First, clean the bottom surface of the NJR-AB08DAN as needed, and then peal the release papers from the
rubber feet and place them in each of the four corners.
8.2 Installation
When installing the NJR-AB08DAN, please observe the following precautions.
・ Do not stack or place one NJR-AB08DAN directly on top of another NJR-AB08DAN
・ Do not block vent holes. To provide adequate ventilation, maintain sufficient clearances around the
NJR-AB08DAN (1.2 in. (30 mm) or more)
・ When the NJR-AB08DAN needs to be mounted in an enclosed space or an EIA rack without using IDK’s
rack mounting hardware (RM-SF and RM-SH), ensure that a sufficient ventilation/cooling system is
provided to keep the ambient temperature at 104°F (40°C) or lower. If inadequately vented, the product’s
service life, operation, and reliability may be affected.
Maintain adequate clearances (1.2 in. (30 mm) or more) as shown below.

8.3 Cabling
When connecting the NJR-AB08DAN to external devices, please observe the following precautions.
・ Read manuals for the external devices
・ Before connecting cables to the NJR-AB08DAN or an external device, dissipate static electricity by
touching grounded metal such as equipment racks before handling signal cables. Failure to observe this
precaution may result in ESD (electrostatic discharge) damage.
・ Power all units off before connecting cables
・ Be sure to fully seat all plugs and connections and dress cables to reduce stress on connectors
8.3.1 Fiber optic cable for extension
The NJR-AB08DAN can reach their full potential by selecting appropriate fiber optic cables for long-haul
extension and installing the cable correctly.
Connect the output connector of this device to the input connector of the 10 GbE switch.
Connect the input connector of this device to the output connector of the 10 GbE switch.
[Fig. 8.2] Connecting fiber optic cable
Note:
For the connectors of 10 GbE switch, refer to the switch’s manual.

・ To polish connectors:
For SFP+ optical transceiver for multimode
: PC polishing is recommended.
For SFP+ optical transceiver for singlemode : UPC polish ing is recom mended.
Note: APC polishing is not supported.
・ Extension distance varies depending on attenuation of the fiber, connector and other contact portions
・ Make sure not to exceed the allowable tension and bend radius of fiber optic cable or the performance of
the product and the life of the fiber optic cable may be affected
・ Plug the dust caps to both faces of the fiber optic cable when connecting the fiber optic cable and when not
in use
・ Before inserting a fiber optic cable, make sure there is no damage or dirt on the end-face of the optical
connector. Clean up it or NJR-T01SDI may not operate correctly

8.3.2 SFP+ optical transceiver
The fiber type and transmission distance vary depending on the SFP+ optical transceiver.
[Table 8.1] Specification of standard SFP+ optical transceiver
* The lasers in these models meet class1.
・ When no fiber optic cable is connected, plug dust caps
・ Do not use the SFP+ optical transceiver for other products. Also, do not connect fiber optic cables that is
connected to other products to the SFP+ optical transceiver or the SFP+ optical transceiver ma y be
damaged
・ If you need to replace the SFP+ optical transcei ver, ple as e contact us .

communication commands by connecting the NJR-CTB to a 10 GbE switch or IP-NINJAR
encoders/decoders.
For details of operations from WEB browser and communication commands, refer to the NJR-CTB User
Guides.

9.2 Dante
Dante (Digital Audio Network Through Ethernet) is an audio networking technology developed by Audinate.
The NJR-AB08DAN converts digital and analog audio signals from IP-NINJAR encoders into Dante format
with 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, 88.2 kHz, 96 kHz, 176.4 kHz, or 192 kHz sampling frequency and 24-bit sample size.
Audio that is input from Dante network can be output to a decoder in IP-NINJAR network.
9.2.1 Dante network connection
Redundant connection and Daisy chain connection (Redundant connection is set by default) are supported
for Dante devices.
The IP address for Dante connectors (Primary and Secondary) is automatically obtained over IP network.
Use a Cat5e or better cable.
[Fig. 9.3] Redundant connection
Note:
For redundant operation, do not connect the Dante primary and secondary connectors to the same
IP network.

10.1.1 Audio crosspoint mode
You can set the audio crosspoint mode for converting IP-NINJAR and Dante network audio signal protocols.
Set the crosspoint mode based on the number of encoders/decoders and their output audio channels.
The NJR-AB08DAN transcodes IP-NINJAR and Dante protocols of up to eight channels and supports up to
four encoders and decoders simultaneously.

11 Command
11.1 Summary
A command consists of “@” (“40” in hexadecimal), 4 one-byte alphabetical characters (upper and lower
cases), followed by parameters (one-byte numbers). For some commands, multiple parameter values can be
specified or parameters are not necessary. Processing is executed by sending a delimiter at the end of the
command.
Example: @SACP,1,2,1,5
“,”( 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 command is returned if an undefined command or wrong parameter is included.
Example: @AAA

Yes or No
13 Troubleshooting
In case the NJR-AB08DAN does not work correctly, please check the following items first. Also refer to
manuals for connected devices as well, since they may possibly be the cause of the problem.
・ Are the NJR-AB08DAN and all devices plugged in and powered on normally?
・ Are cables connected correctly?
・ Are there no loose connections?
・ Are correct cables for NJR-AB08DAN being used?
・ Are signal specifications of connected devices matched to each other?
・ Are there any nearby objects that may cause noise?
If additional assistance is required, pl eas e perform the following tests and then contact us.
No. Checking items Result
Connect the devices using genuine cables without connecting the
2
NJR-AB08DAN.
The problem still cannot be solved? Please contact us for assistance.
Yes or No
