Customizing the Nº502 Mark Levinson
• Other – discovered device is assigned to a different Master device.
• Inactive – previously discovered device was assigned to the Nº502
but is no longer visible due to a lost connection.
Each listed device can be assigned or unassigned to the ML Net system. If
you choose to unassign an already assigned device, a warning message is
displayed asking for confirmation before unassigning it.
Note In some cases, it may take a minute or two before changes occur in the ML
Net Setup and ML Net Status device information listings. This delay is due to
the nature of the Ethernet connection, as device status information may not
be immediately noted by the router.
Slaves can only be assigned to a Master from within the menu system of
the Master. You cannot assign Slaves to a different Master than the one
you are accessing.
ML Net and Link2
A system can use ML Net and Link2 together, but the Link2 control takes
precedence. In this case, the ML Net Slaves enter a Status-Only mode
whenever the Slave is under Link2 control. The Status-Only mode allows
the notifications and status requests, but any attempt made by the Master
to change the state of the ML Net Slave is ignored. The Slave sends a
message to the Master indicating it’s in Status-Only mode.
Status Reporting
The ML Net system provides Slave status information on the Master
device. These status reports are information-only and can be accessed on
the Nº502 in the ML Net Status menu. Select any assigned Slave device
from the menu list and the following status information is displayed:
• Temp (Temperature) – identifies the current operating temperature
of the Slave device. The status field can include up to eight
temperature values, depending upon the capabilities of the Slave
device.
• Session Time – identifies the amount of time that the Slave device
has been powered On. This time resets each time the Slave is put into
Standby mode.
• Total On Time – identifies the total amount of time that the Slave
device has been powered On since its manufacture. Putting the Slave
into Standby mode does NOT reset this time.
If a Slave device is Inactive or Unassigned, then the status information is
not available. A Slave device is assigned to a different Master; the status
information is also not available.
Note If the Nº502 cannot find any Slave devices, the message “No Devices Found”
is displayed on the ML Net menu pages.
