NOTE
• Before making connections, be sure to complete the procedure in “3. Setting up MLA-200s” (Page 7).
The changes to the DIP switch settings are applied when the Ethernet cable is connected and the
MLA-200 is turned on. Before changing the settings, unplug the Ethernet cable from the MLA-200.
• The Ethernet switches and MLA-200s can be connected in any configuration, depending on the layout
of the classroom.
• In a system with a large number of students, it may take some time for all [STATUS] indicators to light
up after the MLA-200 (ID=1) for the instructor is finished starting up.
• When connecting the Windows computer used for setup, be sure to plug an Ethernet cable into the
computer’s built-in RJ45 network connector.
