CONFIGURING THE NAVIGATOR NETWORK
Introduction
The Sonance Navigator Network makes
multi-room audio distribution and control simple and reliable. With a simple
press of a button on the keypad, your
customer can listen to any configured
audio source (TV, CD player, radio, etc.).
There is nothing complex to learn.
You can configure the Navigator Network
system using a standard PC and web
browser. Just wire it up,point,click ,disconnect the PC, and turn it over to the client. Future client
changes or repairs are just as easy: plug a laptop computer into
the system,and you can make changes or restore settings.
We strive to make simple things easy, so complex things are
possible. At the heart of the system is a powerful multi-tasking
computer, and a network that can support many additional
devices. Once you have set up a few simple systems,we encourage you to explore available expansion devices.
Configuring the Navigator Network
The system is configured using a standard web browser. You
connect a cable from your PC to the control system, and run a
special web server right on your computer.
Completing a configuration requires:
• A PC with a working Internet browser installed
• An available and working 9-pin serial port
• The cable from your dealer kit
• The Dealer Kit CD
• A Control 2 processor, with or without attached devices
Note: Your PC must have a working web browser. While you will not be
connecting to the Internet during the configuration, your computer
must have working Internet capabilities. The minimum browser
requirement is Netscape 4.5 or Internet Explorer 5. Computers with
either Microsoft Windows or Linux operating systems are supported.
We recommend connecting your computer to the Control 2
only. later, once everything is working, you can connect all the
keypads and other devices. For customer installations, you
have your choice of configuring the Control 2 in isolation, or
configuring it with all the devices live and interactive.
To configure the system, use the following procedure:
Step 1: Hook power to the Control 2 processor. Verify the light
on the front winks dim, then returns to bright.
Step 2: Using the supplied cable, hook your PC to the Control
2. It is easiest to use serial port COM1, but any functioning serial port is OK.
Step 3: Close down all other programs that are using the seri-
al port. If you have a palm handheld organizer, or
another similar brand,disable the “hot sync” utility.
Step 4: Insert the Sonance Navigator Network CD. The CD will
start automatically, running first the web server software and then starting your browser.

Windows 95 Issues
If you see the error box shown below,your Windows 95 installation requires an update. Direct your browser to
http://www.microsoft.com/windows95/downloads. Download
and install the file labeled “Windows Socket 2 Update.” Te s t
your Internet connection again before proceeding.
A “JavaScript” Error Message
JavaScript must be enabled in your browser. A recent browser
version is required. If you need to update your browser, installation files for the Netscape browser can be found on the CD.
Use of a Proxy to Connect to the Internet
Some internet connections are not direct. They use a “proxy”
server that sits in between the PC and the Internet. Check your
web browser options or preferences to see if a proxy is enabled.
If a proxy setting is present,there are two options:
1. You may disable the proxy server during configuration.
This will also disable your Internet connection.
2. You may configure the proxy settings to exclude your local
machine.
Conflicts with Other Software
Serial ports on the PC cannot be shared by multiple programs.
You must quit any software that uses the serial port. In rare
cases, you must exit other networking software.
If you have a personal handheld organizer (such as a Palm),be
sure to exit the synchronization utility. With Windows computers,when in doubt, reboot. We recommend rebooting your
computer before attempting to run the supplied software.
