Features

About the System
The NAVigator and NAV endpoints form an AV over IP switching matrix on an Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) Managed IP Network. The managed AV system can stream:
• HDCP 2.3-compliant HDMI video (which can include embedded digital audio) at
resolutions up to 4k@60 Hz and 4:4:4 chroma sampling
• Optional analog audio
• RS-232 and IR control signals
NOTE: The RS-232 and IR communications are only controllable through an Extron
Control Processor via a Secure Platform Device (SPD) (see the Global Configurator Plus Help File). The encoder and decoder do not generate or respond to the RS-232 and IR communication signals.
The encoders are configured for low latency multicast streaming. The decoders tie to an encoder.
• Securely manages, configures, and controls NAV Pro AV over IP systems.
• Each unit supports up to 240 NAV endpoints — Offers encrypted management and
control up to 240 NAV endpoints for centralized, secure management of complete Pro AV over IP systems.
• Intuitive, web-based user interface for ease of use — Intuitive graphical web
interface for configuration, monitoring, backup/restoration, and troubleshooting.
• Manages simultaneous configuration of multiple NAV devices — Enables bulk
configuration of a large number of devices in a single operation, saving time and simplifying setup.
• Secure encrypted communication between all endpoints — Features secure
communication ensuring any data sent to encoders or decoders from the NAVigator is encrypted.
• Power over Ethernet, or PoE, eliminates the need for a local power supply —
PoE enables receipt of power directly from the PoE switch, eliminating the need for bulky local power supplies.
• Scalable with LinkLicense — The base NAVigator system supports 16 devices with
the capability to expand to 48, 96, or 240 with the addition of LinkLicenses.
• Multiple NAVigator systems can work together to support thousands of endpoints,
creating future-ready solutions that grow with your organization.
• Secure network isolation with dual LAN interfaces — Two isolated, independent
LAN ports facilitate control from a secondary network, enabling flexible system design with enhanced security, and eliminating AV traffic on the corporate network.
• Enables parallel firmware update of multiple NAV devices at once — Upgrades
firmware on all endpoints directly from the NAVigator web interface for quick and reliable firmware management that enables efficient system enhancements.
• Integrates with Pro Series control systems for secure, user-friendly external
control — Designed to integrate directly with Extron Pro Series control systems for secure, encrypted RS additional control processors.

Basic Operation

Configuration and Other Operations
Reset Operations
Configuration and more complex operation of the system is accomplished via embedded web pages (see HTML Operation, beginning on page 10); Extron Toolbelt, Global Configurator Plus, Global Configurator Professional, or Global Scripter (see Control
System on page 108), or SIS commands (see SIS Operation, starting on page 111).
The rear panel RESET button initiates three modes of reset (numbered 1, 4, and 5, using standard Extron nomenclature; modes 2 and 3 are not applicable to NAV products). The
RESET button is recessed, so use an Extron Tweeker, a pointed stylus, or ballpoint pen to
access it. See the table on page 9 for a summary of the modes.
ATTENTION:
• Review the reset modes carefully. Using the wrong reset mode may result in
unintended loss of flash memory programming, port reassignment, or a controller reboot.
• Étudier de près les différents modes de réinitialisation. Appliquer le mauvais mode
de réinitialisation peut causer une perte inattendue de la programmation de la mémoire flash, une reconfiguration des ports ou une réinitialisation du contrôleur.
NOTE:
• The reset modes listed in the table are separate functions, not a continuation from
mode 1 to mode 5.

Sets the IP address, subnet address, gateway address, and
port mapping to the factory default.
•
Sets the Multicast IP, stream number and device name to the
factory default.
•
Turns DHCP on.

•
Does everything mode 4 does.
•
Resets most settings.
•
Resets all IP options.
•
Removes all files from the unit.
RESET LED blinks four times in succession during the reset.
The
Mode 4 enables you to set IP address information using ARP and the MAC address.

again. Nothing happens if you do not momentarily press RESET within 1 second.
NAVigator System Manager • Installation and Operation 9

HTML Operation

This section introduces using the built-in HTML pages to configure and operate the NAVigator, including:
• Opening the Embedded HTML Pages
• HTML Pages Overview
• Creating a NAV System
• Detailed Descriptions and Operations
The NAVigator can be controlled and operated through either the front panel CONFIG (USB) port (see figure 5, A on page 7) or the rear panel NAV/PoE port (see figure 2, B on page 4) or OOB port (C on page 5). The Configuration port uses IP over USB technology. The factory-embedded pages are always available and cannot be erased or overwritten.
NOTE: If connection to the NAVigator using either the NAV/PoE port or OOB port is
unstable, try turning off the proxy server in your web browser.

Opening the Embedded HTML Pages

Access the NAVigator using HTML pages as follows:
1. Start the web browser.
NOTES:
• Extron recommends the following browsers to fully support the NAV system:
• Google Chrome™ — All screen images in this guide use Chrome.
Click in the

NOTES:
• For the NAV/PoE+ port, if unit does not receive an IP address from the DHCP
server, it self-assigns a Link Local IP address in the range 169.254.X.X.
• Default settings:
Config (USB)* 203.0.113.22 NAV/PoE (RJ-45) OOB (RJ-45) Off 192.168.253.254 255.255.255.0
* For the Config port, the address for IP over USB CANNOT be changed.
For the NAV/PoE port, if unit does not receive an IP address from the DHCP
Server, it self-assigns a Link Local IP address in the range 169.254.X.X.
• If you use IP over USB, Extron recommends waiting a minute after plugging in
the cable from your PC to identify the USB connection as a valid Ethernet port.
