Programming the Wall Panel - Transferring the settings to the wall panel
The next step is to transfer these new menus into your wall panel controller. This is done using the programming
port board and cable that comes with your wall panel. You will also need a standard DB9 serial cable for this step.
We suggest you do this close to the Navigator rather than at the wall panel's remote location. In this way you will
be able to easily transfer and test the programming.
1. Using a standard RS232 cable, connect your computer's RS232 serial port
to the DB9 connector on the programming port. Connect the 10 pin ribbon
connector coming from the programming port board to the wall panel at the
jack labeled "Program Port", making sure that the red stripe on the ribbon
cable is on the end of the connector labeled PIN 1. Next, connect the wall
panel to your Navigator using a standard CAT-5 Ethernet cable (either of the
RJ-45 jacks on the wall panel will work). You are now ready to program the
wall panel.
2. Make sure the Navigator is turned off and then click the Program-
>Update menu on the wall panel setup program. Select the COM port
on your PC that is connected to the wall panel, and then click the
"Program" button. Next, turn on your Navigator. The progress bar on the
screen should immediately begin scrolling. It takes about 20 seconds to
program the wall panel. After its done (100%), press the Close button.
Very important: you must now turn off your Navigator and then turn it
back on. The wall panel should now be programmed.
Setup the Navigator
To set up your Navigator for use with the wall panel, you will need to confirm
the settings in the Global menu. On your Navigator, click the Global button,
and then click the right menu arrow until the "Comm" menu appears. Using
the cursor button, make sure the Dev # is set to 1, the WP Mode is set to
Master and the WP Num is set to 1. The dip switches on the wall panel
should all be set to the down or off position, which sets the address to #1.
Using the Wall Panel
The controls on the wall panel behave just like the controls on the front panel of the Navigator. The one difference is
the use of the ENTER and EXIT buttons.
1. Press ENTER to begin using the wall panel. This takes you out of the Main
Menu, shown at right.
2. Press the MENU up/down buttons to scroll to the menu you would like to use.
In the example at right we named the first menu "Presets," and the current
setting is "2." Pressing the MENU down button takes us to the next menu,
which we called "Volume."
3. Press the VALUE up/down buttons to edit the values of the menu functions. In
this case we can raise or lower the gain on whatever channel we linked to this
menu.
4. When you are done editing values press EXIT to return to the main menu.

Follow the steps in the next section to verify that the menus on your
wall panel are working correctly - you should be able to control your
Navigator using the Menu and Value up/down buttons on the wall
panel. Changes made on the wall panel should show on the front
panel of the Navigator. If it doesn't seem to be working, verify that you
have assigned the link correctly in the setup program.
