NAVigator • Setup Guide

This guide provides instructions for an experienced installer to set up and operate the Extron NAVigator System Manager. The NAVigator 
manages, configures, and controls an AV streaming system consisting of Extron NAV encoders, and decoders (endpoints). The NAVigator 
also provides a centralized communication bridge between the control system and the endpoints. The NAVigator can support up to 
16 endpoints as shipped and can be upgraded via a link license to support up to 240 endpoints.

NOTE:

 

For more information on any subject in this guide, see the 

NAVigator User Guide

, available at

(NAV encoders and decoders), as well as management and control devices. This port can also receive 
Power over Ethernet (PoE) to power the NAVigator. 

Streaming endpoints must be on the same network 

as the NAV/PoE port.

OOB (Out of Band) port

 — Connect this port to the Out of Band network for remote management and 

configuration of the NAV system. 

The OOB port cannot receive PoE

a secure web interface and secure control of the NAVigator.
