Mark Levinson

ML Net

The ML Net protocol allows you to control two or more Mark

Levinson products simultaneously via the Ethernet port.

Since ML Net operates through the use of a router and the Ethernet

connection, all devices must have networking capability. Refer to

the previous section of this manual, “Network Setup,” to set up the

Nº500H series for network operation.

MLNetusesasingle“Master”devicetocontrolspecicfunctions

of other ML Net-capable Mark Levinson products. An ML Net

system can only have one Master device; all other devices in the

systembecome“Slaves”.Slavedevicesreceiveandrespondtothe

commands of the master device.

The Nº500H series power ampliﬁer is always a slave device. A

separate master device must be used in conjunction with the

Nº500H series ampliﬁer.

As a slave device, the ampliﬁer responds to the following ML Net

commands sent from the master device:

• Status Reporting – status conditions of the Nº500H

series slave(s) are reported to the master device; status

includes Temperature, Session Time, Total On Time, and

Fault Reporting.

• Standby State – the master device controls the Standby state

of the ampliﬁer.

• Synchronized LEDs – the Standby LEDS of the master device

and all assigned slave devices blink in unison.

After conﬁguring each device on the network, connect all of the

devices together. Ensure that all components are powered off or in

Standby mode before connecting to the Ethernet ports.

Each device must be connected to the same network and use the

samesubnet.Refertothe“NetworkSetup”sectionforinstructions

on how to connect the Nº500H series to the network.

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.
