Flux Capacitor IR Dongle - Just Add Power Introduction Fear not! Just Add Power has rolled out the DeLorean, loaded it with Plutonium and banana peels, and jumped back to the future with an IR blaster in-hand. The IR Dongle aka Flux Capacitor (VBS-HDIP-IRD) adds IR-functionality to Just Add Power by converting the serial port into an IR blaster.
Flux Capacitor IR Dongle – Physical Connections When a Just Add Power device is being powered over POE, the DC connector outputs enough wattage to power the Flux Capacitor when using the included USB power tap. Just Add Power – Last updated Dec-18...
Null Modem Positioning The null modem jumper on the bottom of 2GΩ/3G and 3G devices must be in the crossover wiring position so that the Transmit and Receive pins are aligned between the IR Dongle and the Just Add Power device. Receiver...

4. Enter the Static Route information from the JADConfig Report into the router. If asked for a Metric, use 10. Static Route information from JADConfig Report Adding Static Route to Luxul ABR-4400 5. Done. All devices on the network can access Just Add Power devices. Just Add Power – Last updated Dec-18...
Change Default Gateway These steps will give a single device Layer 3 access to Just Add Power devices. Use this method if the router does not support Static Routing or to limit which devices can access Just Add Power devices.
Enable Layer 3 routing 3. Set the serial mode on the Just Add Power device to Type 3 and baud rate to 9600 a. Log into the web interface b. Go to the Functions tab c. Scroll down to Serial over IP and select Type 3 – CLI Access d.

Bx.x.x for 3G Systems Enable Layer 3 routing 3. For 3G devices on justOS, set the serial mode on the Just Add Power device to Type 3 and baud rate to 9600 a. Log into the web interface b. Go to Endpoint Control c.
System. When using a PC for testing: 1. Telnet to the IP address of the Just Add Power device at port 4998. 2. Enter IR commands in one of the following syntaxes: a. Where Pronto codes are used and ‘\r’ is a carriage return: 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000\r b.
There are many parts to making a Flux Capacitor function correctly. Check these parts: 1. Layer 3 is enabled – Ping the Just Add Power device from a device with the correct network settings for Layer 3. 2. 5-volt power applied to Flux Capacitor – This can be done by the included Y-cable, a power outlet, the USB port on a 2G+ or 3G+ device, or an active 5V USB port on an endpoint device.
