But also very interesting if it actually is possible to send such things as datalink commands.

Obviously you can do everything that is also possible in an option 2:0 setup with a (2-way) video master.That makes sense. A beomaster/beocenter in option 0 should be able to get all remote commands from a connected tv in option 2 via datalink

If the music system is in option 0 and you request a source through datalink it will start up in "muted" state. In that case volume commands are not transmitted through DL as this usually happens in the option 2 master device.
Volume on the DL / ML port is always at fixed level.
On the 1611 PL socket only pin 4 is used. Likely as a wake up signal. No PL data signals are used in the 1611.
Regarding that volume issue was more thinking of a stand-alone scenario where you are using the AAL port to feed an external source into the music system. Then you would have to deal with two independent volume controls - unless you could send a certain local volume command via DL before playback starts.

So based on that volume control via datalink should be possible. I don't have the Beomaster 5500 anymore, but can try to do the test with a Beocenter 9300 and Beomaster 4500 and see if it works the same.

Hi, I have a Beogram 8002 connected to my BeoSound Stage. I have a Beoremote One and trying to figure out if I can control the Beogram 8002 with my Beoremote One.
I am thinking this Universal Link Adapter might may accomplish that? I have been searching for years for a viable solution.
Thanks!

Hi,
the Universal Link Adapter was just a proof-of-concept prototype. It is not for sale.
Instead a simplified version was developed. Have a look here:

Hello.
I don't know if it's a shot in the dark, but I'll try anyway. I am working on a small hobby project where I would like to be able to control my beogram 5500 via a home assistant. I came across this post and could see you had worked with exactly Datalink 80 and 86 and wanted to know if you could maybe help me a little in my project? I'm not that familiar with writing code, but I'm very curious. I imagine using an Ardunio Uno WiFi Rev2 to read or write data to my beogram 5500. I get the sound out another way - via a Beosound core so I can get it out on the Beolink mulitroom. I would like to be able to control the following; Play and stop on my beogram 5500, do you think it will be possible?
Hope to hear from you if this might be of interest! 🙂
Kind regards
