Using Multiple Wall Panels and Multiple Navigators
Your application may require the ability to control one or more Navigators from one or more Wall Panels. Because
there is only one Wall Panel connector on each Navigator, you must connect either multiple Navigators or Wall
Panels by daisy-chaining the Wall Panels. The Wall Panel has two RJ45 jacks, so you can connect up to two
Navigators to one Wall Panel. Or you can connect up to 32 Wall Panels to one Navigator. You can combine these
scenarios, too. For example, you might have two Wall Panels, each with the ability to control two Navigators.
Here are the procedures for all the possible scenarios. In each case you still must program both the Wall Panel
and the Navigator as described on the preceeding page.
1. One Wall Panel connected to one Navigator. In this situation, set all the dipswitches on the Wall Panel to 'off'
(down). Set the Navigator WP MODE to Master, and the WP NUM to 1. This is the scenario described in the setup
procedure on the previous page of this guide – see that diagram for the location of the Dip Switch controls.

2. One Wall Panel connected to multiple Navigators. Here, set all the dipswitches down as above. Set ONE of
the Navigators WP MODE to Master and the rest of them to Slave. All connected Navigators must have unique
Device Numbers – the example below shows a Slave set to Device #2. Set WP NUM to 1 – you are still using just
one Wall Panel.
3. Multiple Wall Panels connected to a single Navigator. Here, each Wall Panel needs a unique address, set by
the dipswitches. For the first Wall Panel , set all dipswitches down as in the above scenarios. For the next, turn
dipswitch 1 on. For the next Wall Panel , turn dipswitch 1 off and dipswitch 2 on. Increment these as needed for each
additional Wall Panel. The dipswitch settings for each Wall Panel are binary. See the chart on page 37 for the dip
switch settings to use when you have multiple Wall Panels. On the Navigator, set WP MODE to Master and set WP
NUM to the number of Wall Panels connected. For example, if there are three Wall Panels, set WP NUM to 3, as
shown below.
4. Multiple Wall Panels connected to multiple Navigators. In this case set the Wall Panel dipswitches as
shown above, giving each a unique address. Set ONE of the Navigators WP MODE to Master and the rest to
SLAVE. On each Navigator, set WP NUM to the number of wall panels connected.
