• Link LED — Lit steadily indicates that a network link is established. Blinking indicates a link speed less than 100 Mbps.
• Act LED — Blinking indicates network traffic. The blink rate corresponds to activity.
GID button and LED — The recessed ID button identifies the encoder when pressed. The LED blinks when the encoder is in pairing
mode (see Pairing devices on front panel on page 5 for details).
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 Jon page 1).
• 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 external 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).
System Operation
The encoder can be congured and controlled using embedded web pages or Toolbelt software (see the NAV E 501 and NAV E 101 User
Guide available at www.extron.com).
NOTE: The “Connection via web pages,” Connection settings, and Pairing devices via front panel procedures (see page 5) may
NOT be necessary if your system includes a NAVigator System Manager.
Connection via web pages
Connection to the encoder and its embedded web pages can be made via either the front panel Conguration (USB) port (using IP over
USB technology) (see figure2, A) or the rear panel NAV 1G/PoE+ port (see figure 1, Gon page 1).
Access the encoder using HTML pages as follows:
1. Start a web browser.
NOTES:
• Suggested browsers to fully support the NAV system are: Google Chrome™, Mozilla™, Firefox™, and Microsoft®Edge™.
• The network must be properly configured for multicasting (IGMP). Failure to do so may result in degraded performance.
2. Enter the IP address of the encoder in the browser Address field.
NOTE:
• Default settings:
Port DHCP IP address Subnet mask
Config (USB)*203.0.113.22
NAV/PoE+ (RJ-45) On
* For the Config port, the address for IP over USB CANNOT be changed.
• If you use IP over USB, Extron recommends waiting a minute after plugging in the cable for your PC to identify the USB
connection as a valid Ethernet port.
