Page 2: How To Get Started
Netkit units’ configuration can be reset to factory defaults by inserting a metal pin (like a paper clip) into the small opening located to the right of the power connector (see figure 1). Do not push the paper clip in deeper than approximately WWW.APART-AUDIO.COM... - Page 3 NETKIT-IR 1. RJ45 connector 2. Power supply connector 3. IR learning eye/reset switch 4. IR module 5. RS232 module NETKIT-RS figure 1 3 mm. The LED’s on the front of the Netkit unit will rapidly blink in unison, indicating a reset. Use a light touch when resetting your Netkit unit, as force may damage your Netkit hardware irreparably.
- Page 4 One IR module is contained in the Netkit-IR (figure 1). The first IR connector on the IR module has an address of 1:1, whereas the third IR connector has an address of 1:3.
- Page 5 Netkit status, IR data, and reading digital input states. All information, with the exception of serial data, is communicated by comma delimited ASCII text strings terminated by a carriage return. Serial data is communicated via Ports 4999 and above. INFO@APART-AUDIO.COM...

- Page 9 This command will retrieve the current mode setting for a designated connector. Sent to Netkit: get_IR,1:1(enter) for the 1st IR connector get_IR,1:2(enter) for the 2nd IR connector get_IR,1:3(enter) for the 3rd IR connector Sent from Netkit in response to get_IR query: IR,1:1,<IR|SENSOR|SENSOR_NOTIFY|IR_BLASTER|LED_LIGHTING>(enter) INFO@APART-AUDIO.COM...

- Page 15 Although the same command is sent four times by both sendir commands, the <ID>s are different, and therefore cannot be considered the same command. The second IR command structure is the recommended method, avoiding long commands and allowing repetition of the command to be halted if requested. INFO@APART-AUDIO.COM...
- Page 16 The command in question will operate functionally the same, but delays between commands may be evident when used in this way. Increasing the <repeat> value will likely eliminate these discrepancies. WWW.APART-AUDIO.COM...
- Page 17 Sent from Netkit in response to get_IRL: IR Learner Enabled(enter) Once enabled, the Netkit sends an uncompressed Apart-Audio format sendir command, terminated by a carriage return, through TCP packets via port 4998. Although the Netkit product family supports up to eight simultaneous connections, the captured command will only be sent to the connection that initiated learner mode.
