Secure Platform Device
As a Secure Platform Device (SPD), the NAVigator is a system-based device that communicates with an Extron
controller. The NAVigator supports 802.1X port-based Network Access Control. When applied, 802.1X
authentication requires that all devices are approved before network access is granted.
The NAVigator communicates with compatible controllers such as Extron IPCP Pro and IPL Pro series control
products over a secure, encrypted channel. The NAVigator hosts multiple Secure Port Interfaces, exposing control
of the entire NAV system to connected primary controllers.
Toolbelt
The Extron Toolbelt utility is available on the Extron website. Toolbelt is a stand-alone Windows application for the
management of control systems. Toolbelt can automatically discover Pro Series and NAV devices on a network
(see the Toolbelt Help File). You also can manually add devices, using the known IP addresses. Once you log in
to a NAV device, such as a NAVigator, you can perform tasks such as:
• Launch the embedded NAVigator HTML page after discovery
•
View the device and system information
• View and edit network information
•
View and set SSL certifications
• Use utilities such as Ping, Reset, and Reboot
•
View 802.1X status logs
•
Configure 802.1X security settings
•
Update the firmware to a selected device or group of devices
