About this Guide

This guide contains installation, configuration, and operating information for the following Extron decoders:

- NAV 10SD 501 Scaling Decoder — Receives HDMI video, audio, and RS-232 and IR communications via a managed 10G IP network using multicast streaming technology. Also supports USB and Ethernet extension.

• NAV 10SD 101 Scaling Decoder — Receives HDMI video, audio, and RS-232 and IR communications via a managed 10G IP network using multicast streaming technology.

NOTE: In this manual:

• The NAV 10SD 501 and NAV 10SD 101 are both referred to as a “decoder.” They are referenced by model name when differences exist.
• NAV decoders and encoders collectively are referred to as "endpoints."

Two versions of decoder are documented in this guide. They are categorized by the type of fiber optic cable, multimode (MM) or singlemode (SM), which defines the effective range of transmission:

• Multimode decoder — Long distance, up to 400 m (1312 feet)
• Singlemode decoder — Very long distance, up to 10 km (6.25 miles)

About the NAV System

The Extron NAV decoders and one or more compatible encoders form an AV distribution and switching matrix on an Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) Managed IP Network. The encoders are configured for low latency multicast streaming. The decoders are configured to join the assigned multicast group.

About the Encoder

- A NAV encoder encodes inputs from an HDMI video source, compresses them into a data stream, and streams the coded signal across an IP network using the Extron PURE3 Codec. PURE3 exceeds many of the performance characteristics of existing compression formats and provides exceptionally robust protection against network errors, making it ideal for quality-critical applications.

The data stream can include:

• HDCP-compliant HDMI video (which can include embedded digital audio [SMPTE 299M and SMPTE 272M-A]) at resolutions up to 4k @ 60 Hz
• Optional analog audio
  • NAV 500 series streaming to NAV 500 series host only — USB 2.0 port control and data signals
  • NAV 500 series encoder only — An Ethernet Extension port that allows communication to the same network

You can manage the endpoints using an Extron NAVigator System Manager (see figure 1). The base version of the NAVigator can control up to 16 endpoints. Available LinkLicense expansion options can accommodate up to 240 endpoints.

Figure 1. Typical NAV Application

The streamed NAV signal is routed using a managed network switch and can be dedicated to a specific LAN. AV switching can be done via a control system by interfacing to the NAV decoder or the NAVigator.

NOTE: The encoder and decoder do not generate or respond to the RS-232 and IR communication signals.

About the Decoder

One or more compatible decoders, such as the NAV 10SD 501 or NAV 10SD 101, decode the data stream back into the original video and audio signal formats and output them locally.

System Interaction and Capabilities

Each encoder and decoder has an integrated web interface. All normal system configuration and control is via the web interface of the NAVigator. Using a computer on the same network and a standard web browser; such as Google Chrome™, Mozilla™ Firefox™, or Microsoft® Edge™; you can configure any encoder or decoder unit in the system.

The embedded audio can be transported as a 2-channel LPCM uncompressed stream. Audio can follow video to the same decoder or be broken away to a different endpoint.

A dedicated RS-232 port, a secure platform device (SPD), is available for distributing RS-232 data with the coded/ decoded video, such as for control of a projector.

The units are housed in 1-inch high, half-rack width metal enclosures that can be mounted in any standard 19-inch rack or under furniture with optional mounting kits.

The external 100 VAC to 240 VAC, 50-60 Hz power supply provides worldwide power compatibility.

Connector and Cable Details

TP cable termination

The decoder NAV Ext port supports 1000Mbps (1000base T — Gigabit Ethernet), half-duplex and full-duplex Ethernet connections. It is vital that your Ethernet cable be the correct cable type and that it be properly terminated with the correct pinout. Ethernet links use Category (CAT) 5e or CAT 6, unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP) cables, terminated with RJ-45 connectors. Ethernet cables are limited to a length of 328 feet (100 meters).

NOTES:

• A CAT 5e cabling infrastructure is the minimum acceptable to support a NAV system. Anything less is insufficient.
• Do not stretch or bend cables. Transmission errors can occur.

The Ethernet cable must be terminated as a patch (straight-through) cable and must be properly terminated in accordance with the TIA/EIA T568-B wiring standard (see figure 3).

Figure 3. RJ-45 Connector and Pinout Table

HDMI connectors

HDMI signals for 4K video run at a very high frequency and are especially prone to errors caused by bad video connections, too many adapters, or excessive cable length. To avoid the loss of an image or jitter, follow these guidelines:

• Do not exceed 12 feet (3.6 meters) on the input of the encoder or the output of the networked decoder.
• Use only a cable designed for HDMI signals.
• Limit or avoid the use of adapters.
• Use only cables specifically intended for HDMI or DVI signals. Use of non-HDMI or non-DVI cables or modified cables can result in a missing video output.

Lockit Lacing Brackets

To securely fasten an HDMI or USB cable to a device:

1. Plug the rear panel HDMI or USB (NAV 10SD 501 only) cable into the panel connection (see figure 4, ①).

Figure 4. Installing the LockIt Lacing Bracket

1. Loosen the connection mounting screw from the panel enough to allow the Locklt lacing bracket to be placed over it (2). The screw does not have to be removed.
2. Place the Locklt lacing bracket on the screw and against the connector, then tighten the screw to secure the bracket (③).

ATTENTION:

• Do not overtighten the HDMI connector mounting screw. The shield to which it fastens is very thin and can easily be stripped.

• Ne serrez pas trop la vis de montage du connecteur HDMI. Le blindage auquel elle est attachée est très fin et peut facilement être dénudé.

• Loosely place the included tie wrap around the HDMI connector and the LockIt lacing bracket as shown (4).

• While holding the connector securely against the lacing bracket, use pliers or similar tools to tighten the tie wrap, then remove any excess length (⑤).

Analog audio connectors

See figure 5 to wire a connector for the appropriate output type. Connectors are included with the decoder, but you must supply the audio cable. Use the supplied tie-wrap to strap the cable to the extended tail of the connector.

Figure 5. Captive Screw Connector Wiring for Audio Outputs

ATTENTION:

• For unbalanced audio, connect the sleeves to the ground contact. DO NOT connect the sleeves to the negative (-) contacts.
• Pour l'audio asymétrique, connectez les manchons au contact au sol. NE PAS connecter les manchons aux contacts négatifs (-).

NOTES:

• The length of exposed wires is important. The ideal length is 3/16 inch (5 mm).
• If the stripped section of wire is longer than 3/16 inch, the exposed wires may touch, causing a short circuit.
• If the stripped section of wire is shorter than 3/16 inch, wires can be easily pulled out even if tightly fastened by the captive screws.
• Do not tin the wires before installing them in the connector. Tinned wires are not as secure in the connector and could be pulled out.

A balanced stereo audio connector consists of a tip, ring, and sleeve. An unbalanced mono audio connector consists of a tip and sleeve. When you are making connections for the units from existing audio cables, see the drawing at right to identify the tip, ring, and sleeve parts of the connector. The ring, tip, and sleeve wires are also shown on the captive screw audio connector diagram, figure 5.

Control connector wiring

Figure 6 shows how to wire the Control (RS-232 and IR) connector.

Figure 6. Control Connector Wiring

NOTES:

• The RS-232 Tx and Rx line pair must cross once between this connector and the destination.
• The length and preparation of exposed wires is important (see the audio connector NOTES above for details).

Power supply wiring

Figure 7 shows how to wire the connector. Use the supplied tie-wrap to strap the power cord to the extended tail of the connector.

Figure 7. Power Connector Wiring

CAUTION:

ATTENTION :

• The DC output cables must be kept separate from each other while the power supply is plugged in. Remove power before wiring.
• Les câbles de sortie CC doivent être séparés les uns des autres tant que la source d'alimentation est branchée. Coupez l'alimentation avant d'effectuer les raccordements.

• The length of exposed wires is critical. The ideal length is 3/16 inch (5 mm).

• Any longer and the exposed wires may touch, causing a short circuit.

• Any shorter and the wires can be easily pulled out even if tightly fastened by the captive screws.

To verify the polarity before connection, plug in the power supply with no load and check the output with a voltmeter.

The LED blinks when the decoder is in pairing mode and lights steadily when it is paired or device identification is selected from the decoder or NAVigator HTML page.

NOTE: The ID button triggers the status on-screen display (OSD), which shows on the HDMI Output port (see B on page 7).

Startup and Basic Operation

Power

When power is applied via the power connector (see H on page 8), the decoder runs a series of self-tests that blink the front panel Power LED and all other indicators. The decoder then boots the NAV operating system. It can take approximately 45 seconds for self-test and system startup to complete. When the process is complete, the Power LED lights steadily.

NOTE: The decoder is NOT operational until the boot process is complete (the Power LED is lit steadily).

Pairing Devices Manually

Pair devices as follows:

1. Use an Extron Tweeker or other small screwdriver to press and hold the encoder front panel ID button for approximately 3 seconds, until the ID LED blinks. The encoder enters pairing mode.
2. One at a time, use a Tweeker or other small screwdriver to press and hold the decoder front panel ID button for approximately 3 seconds, until the ID LED blinks. Release the ID button. The decoder is now paired to the encoder.
3. Repeat step 2 for each decoder.
4. Use a Tweeker or other small screwdriver to press and release the encoder front panel ID button. The encoder exits pairing mode.
5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 to pair decoders to other encoders.

NOTE: Units can be paired manually via the ID button, but they cannot be unpaired manually. To unpair units, use the embedded HTML pages (see Ties Page on page 37) or a connected NAVigator (see the NAVigator User Guide, available at www.extron.com).

Operation

After the encoder, all decoders, and their connected devices are fully booted up and operational (the Power LED on each unit is lit steadily) and the devices are paired, the system is fully operational. If any problems are encountered, ensure all cables are routed and connected properly.

System operation with a NAVigator

Your NAV system must include an Extron NAVigator, a system manager that configures and controls the AV streaming system. The NAVigator allows you to make changes to multiple endpoints in the system from a central location, simplifying operations such as making ties or bulk configuration.

The base version of the NAVigator can support up to 16 endpoints by default, but if a LinkLicense is installed, support can be expanded to up to 240 endpoints, depending on the LinkLicense.

See the NAVigator User Guide, available at www.extron.com for details.

Configuration and other operations

Configuration and more complex operation of the system is accomplished via embedded web pages (see HTML Operation, beginning on page 18) or Extron Toolbelt. Simple Instruction Set (SIS) commands (see SIS Operation, starting on page 71) cannot be issued directly to the decoder, but are issued via an Extron control system on the AV network using a process known as “encapsulation” (see the NAVigator User Guide, available at www.extron.com for details).

Reset Operations

The rear panel RESET button (see G on page 14) initiates three levels of resets (numbered 1, 4, and 5 for comparison with an Extron IPL product). The RESET button is recessed, so use a pointed stylus, ballpoint pen, or small screwdriver to access it.

See the table below for a summary of the modes.

ATTENTION:

• The reset modes listed in the table are separate functions, not a continuation from mode 1 to mode 5.
• The modes listed close all open IP and other connections and close all sockets.

Reset Mode Comparison and Summary
Mode	Activation Result Purpose and		Notes
1Hardware reset	Hold down the recessed RESET button while applying power to the unit.NOTE: After a mode 1 reset, update the unit firmware to the latest version. Do not operate the firmware version that results from the mode 1 reset. If you want to use the factory default firmware, upload that version again (seeFIRMWARE tabon page 42 for details on uploading firmware).	The unit reverts to the factory default firmware. All user files and settings, such as IP settings, are maintained.NOTE: If you do not want to update firmware, or you performed a mode 1 reset by mistake, cycle power to the unit to return to the firmware version that was running before the mode 1 reset (seeAbout Pageon page 66 to find the firmware version).	Use mode 1 to return the unit to the factory default firmware version if incompatibility issues arise with user-loaded firmware.
4Reset IP settings	Hold the RESET button for approximately 6 seconds, until the Reset LED blinks twice (once at 3 seconds and again at 6 seconds). Then momentarily press RESET within 1 second.	Resets all the IP settings without affecting the device configuration. Mode 4:Enables ARP capability.Sets the IP address, subnet address, gateway address, and port mapping to the factory default.Sets the Multicast IP, stream number and device name to the factory default.Turns DHCP on.The Reset LED blinks three times in succession during the reset.	Mode 4 enables you to set IP address information using ARP and the MAC address.
5Factory reset	Hold the RESET button for approximately 9 seconds, until the Reset LED blinks three times (once at 3 seconds, again at 6 seconds, and then again at 9 seconds). Then momentarily press RESET within 1 second.NOTE: Mode 5 reset reverts the factory-configured username to adminand password toextron.	Mode 5 performs a complete reset to factory defaults (with the exception of the firmware):Does everything mode 4 does.Resets all settings with the exception of factory firmware.Resets all IP options.Removes all files from the unit.Removes the initial serial number passwords and sets them toextron.The reset LED blinks four times in succession during the reset.	Mode 5 is for starting over with configuration and uploading or to replace events. Same as theEscZQQQSIS command on page 74.

Performing Mode 4 and 5 Resets

Perform resets of the unit as follows (see figure 9):

1. Use a small screwdriver to press and hold the rear panel RESET button until the rear panel Reset LED blinks either:

2. Two times, for an IP settings reset
   • Three times for an absolute (factory) reset

HTML Operation

This section introduces using the built-in HTML pages to configure and operate the NAV 10SD 501 and NAV 10SD 101 decoders, including:

• Opening the Embedded HTML Pages
  • Using the HTML Pages

The decoder can be controlled and operated through either the front panel Configuration (USB) port (see figure 8, B on page 12) or the rear panel NAV 10G port (see figure 2, A on page 6). The Configuration port uses IP over USB technology. The factory-embedded HTML pages are always available and cannot be erased or overwritten.

Opening the Embedded HTML Pages

• The network must be properly configured for multicasting (IGMP). Failure to do so may result in degraded performance.

• Click in the Address field of the browser and enter the IP address.

NOTES:

• For the NAV 10G port, if the unit does not receive an IP address from the DHCP server, it self-assigns a Link Local IP address in the range 169.254.X.X.
• Default settings:

Port DHCP IP	address	Subnet mask
Config (USB)* 203.0.113.22
NAV 10G (fiber) On

* For the Config port, the address for IP over USB CANNOT be changed.

Audio Input Configuration

Figure 14. Audio Input Configuration Dialog Box and Selection Process

① NAV Audio — Click to enable and disable NAV Audio. NAV audio is the default encrypted audio signal.

② AES67 — Click to enable and disable AES67. AES67 is a standards-based audio over IP signal that allows the decoder to receive an audio stream from a non-NAV device, such as the Extron DMP 128.

③ PTP (Precision Time Protocol) Domain ID — Click in the PTP Domain ID field and edit it as desired or click + or ⊖ to increment or decrement the PTP Domain ID. If you change the value, the unit re-synchronizes its internal audio time clock to the domain of the newly entered value.

NOTE: PTP Domain is an integer value used with AES67 to logically group PTP clocks on a network. This synchronizes their clocks to eliminate latency between the audio signals. Endpoints can only synchronize to other devices in the same domain and devices outside the domain are ignored.

• If you enter a value above the valid range, such as 128, the software automatically drops the value to 127.
• If you enter a valid, but incorrect, domain, the encoder syncs to the new domain clocks and there is a potential for interrupted audio.

Output Configuration Page

Access the Output Configuration page (see figure 15) by clicking the link on the left side of the browser (①). The browser displays the Output Configuration panel (②).

Figure 15. Output Configuration Page

The Output Configuration page (see figure 15 on page 24) consists of five panes, Video (③), Audio (④), Test Pattern (⑤), Screen Saver (⑥), and On Screen Display (OSD) (⑦) that display the status of the output signal.

Each pane has settings that can be changed by clicking the EDIT button (8) in the appropriate pane. The selected dialog box opens (see "Video pane," Audio pane on page 26, Test Pattern pane on page 27, Screen Saver pane on page 27, and On Screen Display (OSD) pane on page 30).

14 SAVE AS PRESET — Click to save the current scaler settings as a scaler input preset (see Preset pane on page 36).

Preset pane

The decoder has 16 memory slots in which you can save input presets. These presets allow encoders with multiple types of video inputs to stream to the decoder.

Input presets can be saved, recalled, and deleted using the embedded HTML pages.

• When you recall an input preset, the decoder fills the output based on the saved sizing and positioning. For example, a video source that was configured to be zoomed when it was previously saved as a preset is still zoomed, even if recalled to a smaller output raster.
• Input presets can be saved based on one input rate and recalled to a different rate. This enables presets to be used as aspect ratio or other quick-sizing shortcuts. Because the size and position is saved as a percent of the raster, the preset can be recalled to any scaled output and the saved size and position are scaled proportionally on the output.

Values for the following settings are saved in input presets:

• Preset name
• Horizontal position
• Detail
• Vertical position
• Contrast
• Horizontal image size (width)
• Brightness
• Vertical image size (height)

Save a preset

Save a input preset as follows:

1. On the Scaler Settings page, click SAVE AS PRESET (see figure 26, 14 on page 33). The Scaler Settings - Preset dialog box opens (see figure 27).

Control System

This section includes:

• Secure Platform Device
• Toolbelt
  • Global Configurator Plus and Professional
• Global Scripter

The decoder can be remotely controlled from a host device such as a computer or Extron control system. The controlling device communicates over the network via the NAV 10G port (see A on page 7).

Secure Platform Device

As a Secure Platform Device (SPD), the decoder is a system-based device that communicates with an Extron controller and 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 decoder communicates with compatible controllers such as Extron IPCP Pro and IPL Pro series control products over a secure, encrypted channel. The decoder hosts secure Serial and IR ports as well as a Secure Port Interface for SIS control of the decoder.

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 controllers and devices 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 or NAV 10SD 101, you can perform tasks such as:

• View the device and system information
• View and edit network information
• View and set SSL certifications
• Use utilities such as Ping, Reset, and Reboot
- Configure 802.1x security settings
• View 802.1x status logs
- Update the firmware to a selected device or group of devices

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Certificates

Extron NAV devices ship with factory-installed SSL certificates created by Extron. If you want or are required to use a different SSL certificate at your installation site, then you can use system utilities in the Toolbelt software to change the SSL certificate at any time. The Toolbelt Help File provides instructions on how to apply an SSL certificate to a device.

NOTES:

• You must run Toolbelt as an administrator.
• Some certificates require a passphrase that is created when the certificate is created. If a passphrase is required, you must enter that passphrase before uploading and applying the certificate.

NAV devices support standard OpenSSL certificate encodings such as .pem (Privacy-enhanced Electronic Mail) and .der (Distinguished Encoding Rules) file types. PEM file types are ASCII encoded and are the required format for uploading to the device. DER file types are binary encoded and can typically have several file extension variations, such as .crt and .cer. There are many standard tools that can convert from DER to PEM file encodings if needed.

NOTE: A DER format file must be converted to PEM encoding before uploading it to the device.

To properly create the certificate for uploading to Extron NAV devices, ensure that the certificate file meets the following requirements:

• Contains X.509 certificate information
• Contains public and private keys
• Uses PEM encoding

NOTE: ITU-T standard X.509 covers aspects of public key encryption, digital cryptography, certificates, and validation.

Contact your IT administrator for more information on what tools and policies are required to obtain or create the SSL certificate and, if necessary, the corresponding passphrase.

Global Configurator Plus and Professional

NOTE: NAV products can be used in control systems with the following Extron control products:

• IPCP Pro Processors such as the IPCP Pro 250
• IPL Pro Control Processors such as the IPL Pro S3

Global Configurator is an Extron control system configuration software for use in AV systems that include Extron Pro Series control products. Conditional logic, variables, and macros provide flexibility for elaborate control system designs. No direct programming knowledge is needed to use the program.

The functional logic is built into Global Configurator. You merely select the functions that you want to use. You can quickly set up schedules, macros, monitors, and the like, using available actions and commands, without having to write control script.

Global Configurator has two modes:

• Global Configurator Plus — Ideal for smaller applications requiring one control processor and one control interface.
• Global Configurator Professional — Suited for applications requiring multiple control processors, enhanced functionality, and advanced configuration. Access to Global Configurator Professional requires ECP Certification.

In a NAV system with an Extron controller, such as an IPCP Pro 250, you can perform actions such as:

• Load device drivers for monitoring the status of and controlling devices with the NAV system.
• Upload GUI Designer interface layouts to touchpanels and third-party touch interfaces.
• Create the configuration containing all the settings for the control processor and the products with which it interacts in the NAV system.
• Upload the configuration to the control processor.
• Send limited commands (such as some SIS commands) via the controller to a NAV device (but without receiving a response from the device).

To obtain Extron control product software, you must have an Extron Insider account and contact an Extron support representative on the Extron S3 Sales and Technical Support Hotline (see www.extron.com for the phone number in your region of the world). Extron provides training to our customers on how to use the software. Access to the features of Global Configurator Professional is available to users who successfully complete Extron Control Professional Certification.

For detailed descriptions and procedures to setup a control system with an IPCP Pro device and Global Configurator, see the applicable Global Configurator Help File.

Global Scripter

NOTE: NAV products can be used in control systems with the following Extron control products:

• IPCP Pro Processors such as the IPCP Pro 250
• IPL Pro Control Processors such as the IPL Pro S3

Global Scripter is a powerful and versatile control system programming software from Extron for AV systems that use an Extron Pro series control processor (such as an IPCP Pro 250). Global Scripter, being programming (rather than just configuration) software, is much more flexible than Global Configurator. Global Scripter allows an integrator to write customized programs for his or her specific AV system. Using customized programming commands for configuration and control allows for larger AV systems than Global Configurator.

Global Scripter uses the easy-to-learn Python scripting language and includes the Extron-exclusive Python library: ControlScript. ControlScript increases the productivity of AV programmers by incorporating functions used in common AV control system projects, as well as helpful documentation, reference material, and sample code. Global Scripter can insert specific AV devices (such as SPDs) and functions into the code.

In a NAV system with an Extron controller, such as an IPCP Pro 250, you can support many more devices (system controllers, NAVigators, and endpoints) than Global Configurator, send very specific SIS commands (as programmed code), and get feedback.

NOTE: Global Scripter software users and integrators must know how to program with Python and should know how to use Extron ControlScript.

For detailed descriptions and procedures to setup a control system with an IPCP Pro device and Global Scripter, see the Global Scripter Help File.

SIS Operation

The decoder can be remotely controlled directly or via an Extron NAVigator System Manager. The decoder can be controlled, monitored, or configured using the following:

- A user-defined string consisting of SIS commands (see below).

NOTE: SIS commands cannot be issued directly to the decoder, but are issued via an Extron control system on the AV network using a process known as “encapsulation”.

• Extron Toolbelt or a control system constructed using either Global Configurator Plus, Global Configurator Pro, or Global Scripter (see Control System on page 67).
  • Built-in HTML pages (see HTML Operation on page 18).

This section provides guidance on operation of the decoder via a string of commands and lists the SIS commands, including:

• Secure Platform Device
• Host-to-Decoder Instructions
  • Decoder-Initiated Power-Up Message
  • Decoder Error Responses
  • Using the Command and Response Tables
  • SIS Command and Response Tables

Secure Platform Device

SIS commands cannot be issued directly to the decoder, but are issued via a NAVigator on the system network using encapsulation (see the NAVigator User Guide, available at www.extron.com for details).

As a Secure Platform Device (SPD), the NAVigator communicates with Extron Pro Series Control Processors over a secure, encrypted channel. The NAVigator is the host device for Secure Platform Interfaces for native device controls and Pro Series Control Ports to control external devices.

Communication, using Global Configurator Plus or Global Configurator Professional, is via a SPD interface. See the applicable Help file to configure the program to issue SIS commands to the NAVigator.

Host-to-Decoder 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.

Decoder-Initiated Power-Up Message

When the decoder completes its start-up, it issues the following message to the host:

© Copyright 20yy, Extron Electronics NAV 10SD n01, Vx.xx, 60-nnnn-nn

Vx.xx is the firmware version number, n01=501 or 101, and 60-nnnn-nn is the part number.

Decoder Error Responses

When the decoder receives a valid SIS command, it executes the command and sends a response to the host device. If the decoder is unable to execute the command because the command is invalid or it contains invalid parameters, the decoder returns an error response to the host. The error response codes are:

E10 — Invalid command
E12 — Invalid port number
E13 — Invalid parameter
E14 — Invalid for this port configuration
E17 — Invalid command for signal type
E22 — Busy
E24 — Privilege violation
E25 — Device not present
E28 — Bad file name or file not found

Using the Command and Response Tables

The command and response table begins below. Symbols are used throughout the table to represent variables in the command and response fields. Command and response examples are shown throughout the table. The ASCII to HEX conversion table below is for use with the command and response table.

Troubleshooting

Alarms

The following table lists common NAV alarms shown on the Monitoring page (see Alarms pane on page 49) and suggested remedies:

Alarm Cause Remedy
Assignment Conflict	The endpoint is reporting a conflicting assignment status.	Verify that the endpoint is not assigned to another NAVigator. If it is, it must be unassigned from the previous NAVigator. If the previous NAVigator is unavailable, perform a mode 5 reset (see page 16) on the conflicted endpoint.
Assignment Failure	The endpoint failed to be assigned to a NAVigator.	Confirm that the NAVigator has not reached its endpoint assignment limit. If a device has been decommissioned from the NAV system, unassign the endpoint from the "Offline endpoints" list. If endpoint still cannot be assigned, perform a mode 5 reset on the endpoint.
Audio Loss	The input audio signal level is below -60 dB for a period of 5 minutes or more.	Increase the output level of audio source.
Auth Failures	A user has attempted to login unsuccessfully 10 or more times.	Check whether login attempts were from internal personnel. If not, take action to strengthen security measures.
Backup Restore Failure	A problem occurred while trying to perform a backup or a restore.	Debug network connectivity between the NAVigator and endpoints.
Channel Conflict	Two or more NAV devices on the network have been given the same input or output number.	For devices affected, change the input number or output number so that each is unique to decoders in the system.
Communication Failure	An online assigned endpoint cannot establish a connection with the NAVigator.	Check the network settings to ensure unicast routing is possible between the NAVigator and endpoints.
Controller Disconnect	The NAV device is unable to connect to a paired control processor.	Verify the control processor is online. Review network settings to ensure unicast communication is possible from the NAV device to the control processor.
CPU Usage	The NAV device CPU is overloaded. Check for excessive network data being delivered to the endpoint.
Device Offline	An assigned NAVigator is not discovered on the network.	Check the offline NAVigator for a power failure. Check the network connectivity of the endpoint.
Disk Space	Internal storage on the NAV device is low.	Reboot the NAV device. If the issue persists, perform a software reset that deletes files (see RESET tab on page 43).
Firmware Failure	A critical process has failed, crashing the endpoint.	Reboot the NAV device. If the failure persists, perform a mode 1 reset (see page 16).
Firmware Incompatible	A firmware version discrepancy exists between the NAVigator and assigned endpoints.	Upgrade the firmware on the deviating device.
Firmware Upgrade	The firmware upgrade process on NAVigator or endpoints failed to complete.	Retry the firmware upgrade. If it is again unsuccessful, use Toolbelt or a web browser to directly manage the device and perform a unit firmware upgrade.
HDCP Error	Encoder: The video input signal is HDCP protected and HDCP negotiation has failed.Decoder: The incoming stream is HDCP protected and the display connected to the output does not support HDCP or the HDCP version.	Encoder:Disconnect and reconnect the video input cable into the encoder (see the applicable NAV encoder user guide at www.extron.com).Bypass video adapter cables and make a direct HDMI male-to-male connection.Decoder: Check the technical specifications of the display that is connected to the decoder for HDCP version support.
IGMP Failure	The NAV device failed to receive three consecutive IGMP queries from an IGMP querier.	Debug network connectivity between the NAV device and the IGMP querier (which can be either a router or a managed switch).
Link Speed	The negotiated communication speed (Link Speed) between the NAV device and a managed switch is lower than its capability of 10 Gbps.	Check switch configuration and ensure proper settings for the switch port to which the NAV device is connected.
Name Conflict	Two or more NAV devices on the network have the same device name.	Change the device names affected so that each is unique.
Network Conflict	Two or more NAV devices on the network have the same IP address.	Change the IP addresses affected so that each is unique.
Network Utilization	The NAV device is receiving excessive network traffic.	Check the network for flooding, also check for improper network configuration.
NTP Sync	The NAVigator cannot obtain time from the specified NTP Server	Debug the network connectivity between the NAVigator and the specified NTP server.
PTP Master Stability	The clock to which all devices are synchronized is changing too frequently, for example, due to network jitter.	Check network for flooding and correct PTPv2 packet priority.
PTP Sync	NAV device cannot synchronize its PTPv2 clock with any peers.	Ensure that network policies allow PTPv2 packets to reach the NAV Device from a clock master.
Stream Conflict	Multiple NAV endpoints are configured to use the same video, audio, AES67, or USB multicast IP address.	Reconfigure endpoint stream settings for a unique stream address.
Stream error	The decoder has lost reception of the data stream for 2 seconds or more.	Check all network switches and routers that support your NAV system for proper multicast (IGMP) configuration.
Temperature Internal	The NAV device is overheating. Check the	ambient temperature of the NAV device installation location.If greater than 104°F, (60°C) use HVAC system to lower ambient temperature.If ambient temperature is 104°F, (60°C) or less, check the mounting location for nearby equipment emitting excessive heat.Ensure there is an air gap around endpoint to allow adequate airflow.
Tie Failure	The decoder failed to establish a tie with the specified endpoint.	Debug the network connectivity between the encoder and decoder.
USB Over-current	One or more USB devices connected exceeded power budget (500 mA).	Remove one or more USB devices that caused the over-current.

Reference Information

Mounting the Decoder

ATTENTION:

The 1-inch high, half rack width decoder can be placed on a table, mounted in a rack, or mounted under a desk or table. The decoder can also be mounted on a projector bracket.

Tabletop Use

Affix the included rubber feet to the bottom of the unit and place it in any convenient location.

Mounting kits

Mount the unit using any optional compatible mounting kit listed on the Extron website (www.extron.com), in accordance with the directions included with the kit.

ATTENTION:

For rack mounting, see "UL Rack-Mounting Guidelines."

UL Rack-Mounting Guidelines

The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) requirements pertain to the installation of the unit into a rack.

CAUTION:

• Elevated operating ambient temperature — If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consider installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (TMA = +104°F, +40°C) specified by Extron.
• Reduced air flow — Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
• Mechanical loading — Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
• Circuit overloading — Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
• Reliable earthing (grounding) — Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (such as use of power strips).
