Decoder

NAV SD 501 and NAV SD 101 • Setup Guide

This guide provides instructions for an experienced installer to install the Extron NAV SD 501 and NAV SD 101 scaling decoders and to make all connections. One or more compatible Extron NAV encoders and one or more decoders form an AV distribution and switching matrix on a managed 1G (1 Gbps) IP network.

Installation

Step 1 — Mounting
Turn off or disconnect all equipment power sources and rack or furniture mount the decoder as required.

Step 2 — Rear Panel Connections

• NAV 1G/PoE+ port — Connect to an Ethernet LAN on which one or more encoders also reside for streaming and control. This port can also receive Power over Ethernet+ (PoE+) to power the decoder (see Power on page 3 for power options).
•  Extension port (NAV SD 501 only) — If desired, connect another networked device to this port. The port acts as a networked switch to the NAV 1G/PoE+ port.
•  HDMI output port — Connect an HDMI cable between this port and an HDMI display (or a DVI display, with an appropriate adapter). See LockIt® Lacing Brackets on page 6 to use the LockIt HDMI Cable Lacing Bracket to secure the connector to the decoder.
• AUDIO output port — This 5-pole, 3.5 mm captive screw connector outputs the streamed, unamplified, line level analog audio. Connect an audio device, such as an audio amplifier or powered speakers (see Analog audio output on page 6 to wire the connector).
• CONTROL RS-232/IR port — Connect a serial RS-232 signal, a modulated IR signal, or both to this 3.5 mm, 5-pole captive screw connector for bidirectional RS-232 and IR communication with connected remote-controlled devices using an Extron control system (see Control connector on page 6 to wire the connector).
•  USB 2.0 port (NAV SD 501 only) — Connect a USB Type-C cable to a USB host or a USB device. See LockIt® Lacing Brackets to securely fasten the USB connector to the decoder.
•  RESET button and LED — This button initiates three modes of reset (see the NAV SD 501 and NAV SD 101 User Guide, available at
•  POWER connector (optional) — Plug the included external 12 VDC power supply into this 2-pole connector for local power (see power connector on page 6 to wire the connector and Power for power options).

Step 3 — Front Panel Configuration Port Connection

• Configuration port — Connect a PC to the decoder via this front panel USB Mini-B connector for the configuration of the decoder. The port uses IP over USB technology; the IP address is always 203.0.113.22 and CAN NOT be changed. The CONFIG port is also discoverable via Extron Toolbelt software (see the NAV SD 501 and NAV SD 101 User Guide; the guide and Toolbelt are available for download at www.extron.com)..)

  •  Unlit – No host or USB device is connected to the rear panel USB port.
  •  Blinking – A USB device or hub is connected to the decoder and is attempting to draw more power than the USB port can supply.
• LAN LEDs (see figure 2 on page 2)— Indicate the status of the network connections, as follows:
  •  NAV LED (NAV SD 501) or LAN LED (NAV SD 101) —
  •  Link LED — Lit steadily indicates that a network link is established. Blinking indicates a link speed less than 1G.
  •  Act LED — Blinking indicates network traffic. The blink rate corresponds to activity.
  •  Ext LED (NAV SD 501 only) —
  •  Link LED — Lit steadily indicates that a network link is established. Blinking indicates a link speed less than 100 Mbps.
  •  Act LED — Blinking indicates network traffic. The blink rate corresponds to activity.

Operation

The decoder can be powered in one of three ways:

•  Locally, from the included external power supply via the power connector (see figure 1, H on page 1).
•  Remotely, receiving PoE via the NAV 1G/PoE+ port (see A); either from the network switch or from an optional PI 140 Power Injector.
•  Locally (H) and remotely (A), with priority on the NAV 1G/PoE+ port. If PoE voltage drops below a threshold, the decoder immediately transitions to the external power supply with no effect on system operation.When power is applied, the decoder runs a series of self-tests that blink the front panel Power LED and all other indicators. The decoder then boots the NAV operating system. It can take approximately 45 seconds for self-test and system startup to complete. When the process is complete, the Power LED lights steadily.

System Operation
The decoder can be configured and controlled using embedded web pages or Extron Toolbelt (see the NAV SD 501 and NAV SD 101 User Guide available at www.extron.com).

Connection via web pages
Connection to the decoder and its embedded web pages can be made via either the front panel Configuration (USB) port (using IP over USB) (see figure 2, A) or the rear panel NAV 1G/PoE+ port (see figure 1, A).
Access the decoder using HTML pages as follows:

1. Open a web browser.
2.  Enter the IP address of the decoder in the browser address field.
3.  Press the keyboard key. The browser displays a privacy error message (see figure 3 at right for an example in the Chrome browser).
4.  Click Advanced (see figure 3, 1). The button changes to Hide Advanced and explanatory text and a link appear below the button.
5.  Click Proceed to (unsafe) (2). The browser opens to the Login dialog box (see figure 4).
6. Enter the username and password in the appropriate fields (see figure 4, 1 and 2) and click SIGN IN (3). The browser opens to the home page of the embedded web pages (see figure 5 on the next page).
   •  The default username is admin.
   •  The factory-configured passwords for all accounts on this device have been set to the device serial number. If the password is reset, the decoder defaults to the default password, which is Extron.
   •  Usernames and passwords are case-sensitive.

Connection settings

View and change connection settings as follows:

1.  On the home page, click Settings > Networking (see figure 5, 1).
2.  Click the Network Connection drop-down menu (2). The Network Connection pane opens (see figure 6), showing protected views of the network connection settings.
3.  To change the settings, click EDIT (see figure 6, 1). The EDIT button changes to SAVE.
4.  Click in the desired field (2) and edit it as desired.
5.  Repeat step 3 as necessary for other values.
6.  Click SAVE.

Pairing devices via front panel Pair devices from the front panel as follows:

1.  Use a Tweeker or other small screwdriver to press and hold the encoder front panel ID button for approximately 3 seconds, until the ID LED blinks. The encoder enters pairing mode, which allows decoders to receive the AV stream (NAV SD 101) or AV and USB streams (NAV SD 501 only) from encoders.
2.  One at a time, use a Tweeker or other small screwdriver to press and hold the front panel decoder ID button for approximately 3 seconds, until the ID LED blinks three times. The decoder is now paired to the encoder.
3.  Repeat step 2 for each decoder.
4.  Use a Tweeker or other small screwdriver to press and release the encoder front panel ID button. The encoder exits pairing mode.
5.  Repeat steps 1 through 4 to pair decoders to other encoders. After all devices are connected, powered on, and paired, the system is fully operational.
