Introduction to Navigator IP
Welcome To Navigator IP.
Congratulations on your purchase of Navigator IP –the advanced access control system designed,
manufactured and supported by John Wainwright Systems LTD (JWS) in Great Britain. Navigator IP comprises
two main elements: Hardware –a fully featured Two Door Network Access Control Unit ( and peripherals such
as Card readers, Exit Buttons, locks etc.) and Software –a Browser based fully embedded web server
compatible with PCs, Laptops, Tablets & Smartphones with no Internet connection required.
With thousands of systems installed through UK and Europe JWS continue to supply solutions to the original
exacting standards of quality and reliability. Navigator IP focuses on Cost of Ownership with built in fault
finding to minimise door down-time and engineer call outs.
This manual is best read whilst sitting at the computer, playing with the software and trying out the features
for yourself. You’ll soon find that even the most complex tasks can be achieved with just a few clicks of the
mouse!
What Can It Do?
Navigator IP’s primary function is to manage, record and control the movements of your personnel throughout
your installation. There are obvious advantages to be gained from owning such a system: -
Office managers can decide which members of staff are allowed to enter certain sensitive areas such as I.T.
rooms and storage facilities.
Factory supervisors can restrict access to dangerous environments to reduce the risk of accidental damage to
machinery (and workers!).
Hospital workers can be restricted from entering areas where there is a risk of infection or other dangers.
If an incident should occur, the log of movements prior to the time of the incident can be studied to give an
insight into who may have been responsible.
The list goes on and on.
In addition to access control functions, Navigator IP also supports on board Input/Output which offer simple to
manage monitoring and control of external points around the installation site.
How Does It Work?
Your system consists of a single Navigator IP door controller or a network of door controllers positioned at
strategic points around the installation, each door controller determine if any authorized persons are
requesting entry (or exit) through the door. If a request for access has been made (by swiping a magnetic card
through a swipe reader, or by presenting a proximity card to a proximity reader) then Navigator IP analyses the
request and responds with either an access granted signal or an access denied signal.
Navigator IP’s response will depend upon the following: -
1) Is the owner of the card being used allowed through this door?
2) If so, is the owner allowed through at this time?
3) If the card is limited to a maximum number of uses, are there any uses left?
4) If the card is limited to specific dates, is the date correct?
