The figure below illustrates a typical ML Net setup:
If more devices are desired than the router can handle, connect the
additional devices first to a switch, then connect the uplink of the
switch to a normal port on the router.
Discovering Slaves
Before the master device can control any slave device, the slave
device must be “discovered” and assigned to the master device.
Refer to the owner’s manual of the designated master device for
further information about discovering and assigning slave devices.
ML Net and Link2
A system can use ML Net and Link2 together, but the Link2 control
has priority. Status requests and notifications are sent to the ML Net
master device, but commands sent by the ML Net master device are
ignored as long as Link2 is connected.
Note While ML Net is active from initial power-up, Link2 doesn’t activate
until the master device is put into Standby mode (after initial power
up). As a result, the amplifier can react initially to ML Net commands
even though Link2 is connected.
