• About the NAV System - Features
About this Guide
This guide contains installation, configuration, and operating information for the following Extron streaming encoders:
- NAV E 501 Encoder — Streams HDMI video and audio over a managed 1G IP network. Also supports USB and Ethernet extension.
- NAV E 101 Encoder — Streams HDMI video and audio over a managed 1G IP network.
NOTE: In this guide:
- The NAV E 501 and NAV E 101 are both referred to as an “encoder.” They are referenced by model name when differences exist.
- NAV encoders and decoders collectively are referred to as "endpoints."
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 inputs an HDMI video signal and generates a video and audio stream that can be transmitted over an IP network using the Extron PURE3 Codec. The PURE3 Codec 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 E 501 only — USB 2.0 port control and data signals
• NAV E 501 only — An Ethernet Extension port 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 RS-232 and IR communications are driven via a control system. 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 SD 501 or NAV SD 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/IR port, a secure platform device (SPD), is available for distributing RS-232 and IR data with the coded/ decoded video, such as for control of a projector. Tally and Contact Closure supports Extron Show Me Cables.
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.

ATTENTION:
Connector and Cable Details
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 encoder input or loop-thru output.
- 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 cable to a device:
- Plug the rear panel HDMI or USB (NAV E 501 only) cable into the panel connection (see figure 3, ①).
Figure 3. Installing the LockIt Lacing Bracket
- Loosen the HDMI connection mounting screw from the panel enough to allow the LockIt lacing bracket to be placed over it (2). The screw does not have to be removed.
- Place the LockIt lacing bracket on the screw and against the HDMI 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 4 to wire a connector for the appropriate input type. Connectors are included with the encoder, but you must supply the audio cable. Use the supplied tie-wrap to strap the cable to the extended tail of the connector.
Figure 4. Captive Screw Connector Wiring for Audio Inputs
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 (see figure 4).
Control connector wiring
Figure 5 shows how to wire the Control RS-232/IR connector.
Figure 5. Control Connector Wiring
NOTES:
- The IR S and G line pair and the RS-232 Tx and Rx line pair must each cross once between this connector and the source or destination.
- The length and preparation of exposed wires is important (see the audio connector NOTES above for details).
TP cable termination
The encoder NAV 1G/PoE+ 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 6).
Figure 6. RJ-45 Connector and Pinout Table
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 :
• 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.
- Do not tin the power supply leads before installing them in the connector. Tinned wires are not as secure in the connector and could be pulled out.
To verify the polarity before connection, plug in the power supply with no load and check the output with a voltmeter.

ID button and LED (see figure 8 on page 11) — The recessed ID button, when pressed, identifies the encoder to other network units and to the embedded HTML pages (see Pairing Devices Manually on page 13). The LED blinks when the encoder is in pairing mode and lights when it is paired or device identification is selected from the encoder or NAVigator HTML page.
NOTE: The ID button triggers the Status on-screen display (OSD), which shows on the LOOP THRU port (see B on page 5).
Startup and Basic Operation
Power
The encoder can be powered in one of three ways:
- Locally, from the included external power supply and via the power connector (see ⚪ on page 6).
- Remotely, receiving PoE via the NAV 1G/PoE+ port (see G); either from the network switch or from an optional PI 140 Power Injector.
- Locally (J) and remotely (G), with priority on the NAV 1G/PoE+ port. If PoE voltage drops below a threshold, the encoder immediately transitions to the power connector with no effect on system operation.
When power is applied, the encoder runs a series of self-tests that blink the front panel Power LED and all other indicators. The encoder 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 encoder is NOT operational until the boot process is complete (the Power LED is lit steadily).
Pairing Devices Manually
Manually pair devices as follows:
- Use a 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.
- 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.
- Repeat step 2 for each decoder.
- Use a Tweeker or other small screwdriver to press and release the encoder front panel ID button. The encoder exits pairing mode.
- 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 of either the decoder (see the applicable decoder user guide) or of the NAVigator (see the NAVigator User Guide). The applicable user guides are 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 16) or Extron Toolbelt. Simple Instruction Set (SIS) commands (see SIS Operations, starting on page 69) cannot be issued directly to the encoder, 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 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 on page 15 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 is performed, update the unit firmware to the latest version. Do not operate the unit firmware version that results from the mode 1 reset. If you want to use the factory default firmware, you must upload that version again (seeFIRMWARE tabon page 38 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 64 to find the firmware version). | Use 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: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. | 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: Reverts the factory-configured username to admin and password to extron. | 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 to extron.The Reset LED blinks four times in succession during the reset. | For starting over with configuration and uploading or to replace events. Same as theEscZQQQSIS command on page 72. |
Performing mode 4 and 5 resets
Perform resets of the unit as follows (see figure 9):
- Use a small screwdriver to press and hold the rear panel RESET button until the rear panel Reset LED blinks either:
• Twice, for an IP settings reset
• Three times for an absolute (factory) reset

IGMP Querier pane
An IGMP querier is a network service, usually running on a network switch, that can initiate IGMP queries. An IGMP querier should be configured on the NAV network. It manages the multicast traffic. If there is no IGMP querier on the network, there is no effective multicast traffic management and the multicast traffic saturates the network and stream and communication errors can occur.
The IGMP Querier pane (see figure 39, ③) shows whether or not an IGMP querying device is present on the network, and the IP address of the IGMP querier. Figure 40 shows the normal indication and if no IGMP querier is present on the network.

Control System
This section includes:
- Secure Platform Device
- Toolbelt
• Global Configurator Plus and Professional - Global Scripter
The encoder 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/PoE+ port (see G on page 6).
Secure Platform Device
As a Secure Platform Device (SPD), the encoder 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 encoder communicates with compatible controllers such as Extron IPCP Pro and IPL Pro series control products over a secure, encrypted channel. The encoder hosts secure Serial and IR ports as well as a Secure Port Interface for SIS control of the encoder.
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 E 101, you can perform tasks such as:
- Launch the embedded encoder 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. - 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 other and 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 encoder can be remotely 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 encoder, 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 65)
• Built-in HTML pages (see HTML Operation on page 16)
This section provides guidance on operation of the encoder via a string of commands and lists the SIS commands, including:
• Host-to-Encoder Communications
• Encoder-Initiated Messages
• Encoder Error Responses
• Using the Command and Response Tables
• SIS Command and Response Table
Host-to-Encoder 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 encoder executes the command and sends a response to the host device. All responses from the encoder 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.
Encoder-Initiated Messages
When the encoder completes its start-up, it issues the following message to the host:
© Copyright 20yy, Extron Electronics NAV E n01, Vx.xx, 60-nnnn-nn← (n = 5 or 1)
Vx.xx is the firmware version number and 60-nnnn-nn is the part number.
Hplgl
The HDMI input hot plug connection is changed. 1 is plugged and 0 is unplugged.
HplgO
The HDMI loop through hot plug connection is changed. 1 is plugged and is unplugged.
In
A change in signal input status has occurred. 1 is input detected and 0 is no input.
Encoder Error Responses
When the encoder receives a valid SIS command, it executes the command and sends a response to the host device. If the encoder is unable to execute the command because the command is invalid or it contains invalid parameters, the encoder 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
The command operation is aborted with no other indication.
Using the Command and Response Tables
The command and response tables begin on page 71. 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 45) 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 14) 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 encoders 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 39). |
| Firmware Failure | A critical process has failed, crashing the endpoint. | Reboot the NAV device. If the failure persists, perform a mode 1 reset (see Reset Operations on page 14). |
| 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.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 1 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 | NAV E 501 in Device mode only — The encoder has lost reception of the USB 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 encoder failed to establish a tie with the specified endpoint. | Debug the network connectivity between the encoder and decoder. |
| USB Over-current | NAV E 501 in Device mode only — One or more USB devices connected exceeded power budget (500 mA). | Remove one or more USB devices that caused the over-current. |
| Video loss | The input is changed and video sync cannot be established within a two-second window. | Debug the connectivity of the A/V source device to the NAV encoder. |
Reference Information
Mounting the Encoder
ATTENTION:
The 1-inch high, half-rack width encoder can be placed on a table, mounted in a rack, or mounted under a desk or table.
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 on page 79.
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).
