NAVigator • Setup Guide
This guide provides instructions for an experienced installer to set up and operate the Extron NAVigator System Manager. The NAVigator
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 a link license to support up to 240 endpoints.
For more information on any subject in this guide, see the NAVigator User Guide, available at www.extron.com.

Power connector (optional) — Plug the included external 12 VDC power supply into this 2-pole
connector for local power. See the drawing at right to wire the connector and
power options.
NOTE:
Alternatively, the NAVigator can be powered via PoE, from the network switch or
using an optional PI 140 Power Injector.
B
NAV/PoE port — Connect this port to your AV LAN network for connection to streaming endpoints
(NAV encoders and decoders), as well as management and control devices. This port can also receive
Power over Ethernet (PoE) to power the NAVigator. Streaming endpoints must be on the same network
as the NAV/PoE port.
C
OOB (Out of Band) port — Connect this port to the Out of Band network for remote management and
configuration of the NAV system. The OOB port cannot receive PoE.
NOTE:
The OOB network is a secure boundary from the in-band NAV network. The OOB port allows for
a secure web interface and secure control of the NAVigator.
D
Reset button and LED — Press this button and observe the LED to initiate three modes of NAVigator reset
(see the NAVigator User Guide, available at www.extron.com).
