Introduction
Navigation in this guide
The BeoLink Converter NL/ML is a converter between the Network Link and the Master Link system and makes it possible to integrate Network
Link products and Master Link products.
The BeoLink Converter NL/ML is designed to convert control signals and audio signals between Master Link products and Network Link products.
Analog audio signals from products in the Master Link system are converted to digital signals by the BeoLink Converter NL/ML and transferred to the products connected on the Network Link. Digital audio signals from the products on the Network Link are converted to analog signals to products in the Master Link system.
The BeoLink Converter NL/ML has a built-in Web Interface, which is used for Set up. The BeoLink Converter NL/ML is by default set up as a Video
Master in option 2. The BeoLink Converter NL/ML can also be used for active speakers (Power Link enabled).
When the guide is opened, it automatically opens in Full Screen Mode (can be left as desired - see below). This is primarily done to optimise the usability of screen reading. There are several ways to navigate when using the guide, see the survey of keys, shortcuts and hot keys below:

Setting up the Network
Network Link
An extra router (Network Link router) is recommended for the Network Link as it needs it’s own subnet.
The WAN port on the Network Link router must be connected to a LAN port on the ISP router with a CAT7 cable. This is done to avoid that data traffic meant for the 1st subnet will interfere with data traffic on the 2nd subnet.
The Bang & Olufsen products can be connected to any of the LAN ports on the Network Link router. Each of the four ports on the Network Link router can be extended with a switch recommended by Bang & Olufsen.
Access the Network Link router
In order for the Network Link router to work when connected to the existing network, it must be configured with a different address range than the ISP router on the network.
- Connect a PC to the Network Link router and enter the default IP-address 192.168.1.1 in the address field in the Web browser on the PC.
- Enter User Name: admin and Password: admin . (If a Network Link router is already installed the User name and Password might be changed).
Set up a Bang & Olufsen sub-network
- Access the Network Link router
- Go to Basic Setup screen, Network Setup and Router Address .
- Enter the IP address to 192.168.100.1 and save the settings
The Bang & Olufsen sub-network has now been setup. All devices connected to this sub-network must have the IP address 192.168.100.XXX.

The Network menu is used to set up the network settings to adapt to the actual network to which the BeoLink Converter NL/ML is connected.
The BeoLink Converter NL/ML is delivered from the factory with DHCP enabled to be able to obtain the IP-address automatically.
All the network settings can be changed in the Network Menu. It is possible to reset all the network settings by using the setup button on the socket panel.
Depending on the actual network it might be necessary to change the IP-address in order to adapt to the network in range.
The other networks settings in the Network Menu must also (if necessary), be changed to match the router settings.
To determine the network settings, the router in the network must be accessed. If the DHCP server in the router is enabled the BeoLink Converter
NL/ML can use a fixed IP-address out of the DHCP range. If the DHCP is disabled in the router, the IP-address must be set up manually in the
Network Menu. The first three octets in the IP-address must be the same digits as in the router. The settings the for IP address and subnet mask must match the actual subnet range.
! When new settings have been added, the PC with the web browser must be re-booted to be able find the new IP-address. If any problems should occur in finding the BeoLink Converter NL/ML, reset to the Network Settings.
The Password menu makes it possible to change the password, which is used to access the web-based user interface. To access the web-based user interface admin must always be used as the user name. The default password is also admin .
It is recommended to change the password because the BeoLink Converter NL/ML is connected in a LAN with access to the Internet. This is to prevent intruders from the outside to get access to the BeoLink Converter NL/ML.
If the password is forgotten it is possible to make a reset to Factory default by
using the setup button on the socket panel, see page 38 .

ML Roles description and overview
The selection of ML Role depends on which products (roles) is already on the Master Link. Master Link can only have one Audio Master (A Master) and one Video Master (V Master). The A Master is solely responsible for distributing audio sources on Master Link and the V Master is solely responsible for distributing sound from video sources on Master Link.
Fig. 1
As starting point for each of the following 5 examples we have a pure Master Link setup with
BeoVision 7 (the V Master) and
BeoMaster/BeoSound 5 (the A Master). (See fig. 1).

If customers wants to add a BeoPlay V1 on Network Link. Then it should be connected to the Master Link system through a BeoLink Converter NL/ML. (See fig. 4).
Library Living room
As both BeoVision 7 (the V Master) and BeoMaster/
BeoSound 5 (the A Master) is retained on the Master
Link, then the BeoLink Converter NL/ML cannot take neither the A Master or the V Master role. It have to take the role A Slave, where it will not be able to distribute any source on Master Link. In the BeoLink
Converter NL/ML menu Sources visible on ML , no sources can be selected. (See fig. 5).
As both BeoVision 7 (the V Master) and BeoMaster/
BeoSound 5 (the A Master) is present on the Master
Link, then the BeoLink Converter NL/ML can distribute any source from Master Link to Network
