Operation

• Power
  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.
  NOTE: The decoder is NOT operational until the boot process is complete (the Power LED is lit steadily).

• System Operation
  The decoder can be configured and controlled using embedded web pages or Extron Toolbelt (see the NAV SD 511 User Guide available at www.extron.com and the Toolbelt Help file).
  NOTE: The “Connection via web pages,” Connection settings, and Pairing devices via front panel procedures (see page 5) may NOT be necessary if your system includes a NAVigator System Manager.

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 technology) (see figure 2, A on page 2) or the rear panel NAV 1G port (see figure 1, A on page 1).
Access the decoder using HTML pages as follows:

1. Open a web browser.
   NOTES:

   • Suggested browsers to fully support the NAV system are: Google Chrome™, Mozilla Firefox™, and Microsoft® Edge™.
   • The network must be properly configured for multicasting (IGMP). Failure to do so may result in degraded performance.

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 (see figure 4, 1) and Password (2) and click SIGN IN (3). The browser opens to the embedded web pages (see figure 5 on page 5).
   NOTES:

   • 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 reverts to the default password, which is extron.
   • Usernames and passwords are case sensitive
   • NOTE:

Pairing devices via front panel
Pair devices 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 and USB streams from encoders.

2. One at a time, use a Tweeker or other small screwdriver to press and hold the decoder front panel 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.

Operation in a System with a NAVigator
The Extron NAVigator is a system manager that easily configures and controls the NAV System. The NAVigator supports 16 endpoints by default, but a LinkLicense can upgrade its capabilities to support up to 240 endpoints. See the NAVigator User Guide, available at www.extron.com for details.

Connection Details

LockIt® Lacing Brackets

1. Plug the HDMI or USB cable into the panel connection (see 1, at right for an HDMI example).
2. Loosen the connection mounting screw from the panel enough to allow the LockIt lacing bracket to be placed over it (2). The screw does not have to be removed.
3. Place the LockIt lacing bracket on the screw and against the connector (3), then tighten the screw to secure the bracket. ATTENTION:
   • Do not overtighten the connector mounting screw. The shield it fastens to is very thin and can easily be stripped.
   • Ne serrez pas trop la vis de montage du connecteur. Le blindage auquel elle est attachée est très fin et peut facilement être dénudé.
4. Loosely place the included tie wrap around the connector and the LockIt lacing bracket as shown (4).
5. While holding the connector securely against the lacing bracket, use pliers to tighten the tie wrap, then remove any excess length (5)
