SIS Operation

The NAVigator can be remotely controlled, monitored, or configured using the following:
•
A user-defined string consisting of SIS commands (see below).
•
Extron Toolbelt or a control system constructed using either Global Configurator Plus, Global Configurator
Pro, or Global Scripter (see
•
Built-in HTML pages (see
•
SSH via a Third-Party Control LinkLicense (see
This section provides guidance on operation of the NAVigator via a string of commands and lists the SIS

As an SPD (see
Global Configurator Professional, or Global Scripter, via an SPD interface. See the applicable Help file to
configure the program to issue command strings to the NAVigator.
NOTE: You can connect the NAVigator to a control system using either the OOB or NAV LAN port.
Connecting the NAVigator to the Host
Use one of the following methods to establish communication between the host and the NAVigator:
•
Ethernet — Connected the host to the rear panel NAV/PoE port (see
( ). To enter SIS commands, use a secure communication utility that supports Secure Shell (SSH). Enter the
C
MGP IP address where requested and use 22023 as the port number.
•
Ethernet over USB — Connect the host to the front panel CONFIG (USB) port (see
To enter SIS commands, use a secure communication utility that supports SSH. Enter 203.0.113.22 for the IP
address where requested and 22023 as the port number.
Host-to-NAVigator Communications
SIS commands consist of one or more characters per field. No special characters are required to begin or end a
command character sequence. When a command is valid, the decoder executes the command and sends a
response to the host device. All responses from the decoder to the host end with a carriage return and a line feed
(CR/LF = ] ), which signals the end of the response character string. A string is one or more characters.
