Network Link/Master Link setup
ISP router
The ISP (Internet Service Provider) router gives the BeoLink Gateway access to the Internet and is used as
router for computers on the local LAN.
Router and switch
As most ISP routers have a stable connection to the Internet and to products connected on the LAN it is sufficient
to build a Network Link setup based on the ISP router. As more LAN connections are needed a switch can be
applied.
-Switch
The switch is connected to a LAN port on the ISP router. Six LAN ports on the switch are used for
connecting a BeoPlay V1, a BeoVison 11, a BeoSound 5, a BeoLink Gateway, a BeoLink Converter NL/ML
and a Home Automation System.
This basic Network setup has the advantage, that it is easy to configure to be able to access the BeoLink
Gateway and the Home Automation System from an iPad with the BeoLink App.
- Network Link router.
A dedicated Network Link router (B&O recommended) can be added if a separate sub-network is needed,
due to varying quality of the ISP router, when it comes to a stable connection and distribution between
products in the B&O setup.
BeoVision 11
BeoVision 11 is connected to the switch via CAT7 cables connected from the Ethernet sockets to a port on the
switch. BeoVision 11 is in option 2.
- Rerouting
The re-routing of light and controls commands to the BeoLink Gateway must be enabled in the TV.
The re-routing should be enabled in the ‘Customer Service Menu’ [Settings/Re-route Light/Control].
- ‘Reroute Light/Control’ must be set to ‘BLGW’, when a BeoLink Gateway is connected on the
Network Link system. Enabling the Reroute Light/Control allows light and control commands - from Beo4,
Beo6, BeoRemote One and the BeoLink App - to be rerouted to the BeoLink Gateway.
BeoSound 5/BeoMaster 5
BeoSound 5/BeoMaster 5 is connected to the Ethernet switch with a CAT7 cable from the Ethernet socket on
BeoMaster 5 to a port on the switch. Is connected to the Master Link with a Master Link cable from the Master
Link socket to a junction box.
BeoSound 5/BeoMaster 5 is in option 0.
BeoLink Converter NL/ML
The BeoLink Converter NL/ML is the interface between the Network Link and the Master Link and it handles both
control signals and audio signals. The BeoLink Converter is setup as a V.Master.
In a setup with a BeoLink Gateway the ‘Forward Light/Control commands’ must be enabled in the ‘‘Customer
