About this Guide

This guide contains installation, configuration, and operating information for the Extron NAVigator Pro AV over IP System Manager.

About the NAVigator

The NAVigator (see figure 1) manages, configures, and controls an AV streaming system consisting of Extron NAV encoders, and decoders (endpoints). The NAVigator also provides a centralized communication bridge between the control system and the endpoints. The NAVigator can support up to 16 endpoints as shipped and can be upgraded via LinkLicenses to support up to 48, 96, or 240 endpoints.

Figure 1. Typical NAVigator Application

The NAVigator provides one central web management interface. It expedites the system deployment process through bulk endpoint configuration, EDID Minder, and ties management features. In addition, it also makes system management easier through system tools such as firmware upgrade, backup, and restore.

The NAVigator is housed in a 1-inch high, half-rack width metal enclosure that can be mounted in any standard 19-inch rack or under furniture with optional mounting kits.

The NAVigator can be powered via Power over Ethernet (PoE) or by an included external 100 VAC to 240 VAC, 50-60 Hz power supply that provides worldwide power compatibility.

NAVigator System Manager • Introduction 1

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.

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.

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.

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:

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.

Besides the startup tasks of discovering and assigning endpoints to the NAVigator, the Endpoints pane has tools for “bulk” configuring one or multiple endpoints from the NAVigator. These tools are a more efficient way to manage your system than making changes to individual endpoints, either through their HTML pages directly (see the associated endpoint user guide) or proxied through the NAVigator (see Device Details

pane and proxy connections on page 49).

Access the bulk configuration tools as follows:

1. If necessary, click the Menu icon (see figure 31, 1).

You can add a tag to discovered endpoints that are part of a particular usage set. Tags simplify finding specific endpoints and managing ties. You can add tags to assigned endpoints, and rename endpoints as desired. You can also associate each endpoint to the location where it is installed.

TIP: As an example using these features, you can tag all of the encoders associated

with one presenter and one location so that you can limit encoders to that user and room when making ties.

NOTE: See the NOTES on page 34 for detailed valid character usage rules to ensure

your entries are valid.

The system firmware upgrade has started (see figure 92, 1).

The firmware update to the endpoints is in progress in the In process field (2).

The firmware update to the endpoints is complete and the endpoints rebooting is indicated in the In process field (3).

As endpoints complete their reboot, they are indicated in the Complete field (

NOTE: Depending on the products in

your system, the firmware Upgrade may require several cycles, one for each unique firmware package. For example, 1G endpoints require a separate upgrade cycle from 10G endpoints.

Once the endpoints are all complete, The NAVigator firmware updates (5). Once its firmware is updated, the NAVigator reboots.

On reboot, the connection to the NAVigator is lost and the browser displays the home page Login dialog box (see figure 8 on page 11). To continue to operate the NAVigator, you must reconnect (see Opening the Embedded

IGMP Querier pane

111111111111111111

An IGMP querier is a network service that runs on a network switch and manages the IGMP network traffic. An IGMP querier should be configured on the NAV network. It manages the multicast traffic. If there is no IGMP querier on the network, there is no effective multicast traffic management and the multicast traffic saturates the network and stream errors can occur.

The IGMP Querier pane (see figure 93, C on page 87) shows whether or not an IGMP querying device is present on the network, and the IP address of the IGMP querier. The address allows you to know that you are communicating to a querier and which querier. In the case of duplicate querier, the IP address may change. Figure 96 shows the indication if no IGMP querier is present on the network or if there are multiple IGMP queriers and there should only be one.

Figure 96. IGMP Querier Pane with no IGMP Querier Present on the Network

NOTE: If no IGMP querier is discovered, contact your network administrator. An IGMP

querier is a required network resource for the NAV System to function correctly.

Control Systems pane

The Control Systems pane (see figure 93, C on page 87) shows the status of control systems that are paired and connected to the NAVigator. The leftmost shown number at right indicates the number paired. The rightmost number indicates the number connected.

Figure 97 shows the indication if no control system is paired (on the left) and if none is connected (on the right). Click Learn More (1) to see detailed connection and pairing information (see figure 98).

The Alarms pane (see figure 93, D on page 87) shows any alarms that have been triggered in the NAV system managed by this NAVigator. Figure 99 shows the pane when alarms are present. Some alarms self-clear when specific conditions are met, others remain as long as the conditions that cause them remain. As an example, a temperature alarm remains until the NAVigator cools down.
