Guidance on Masterlink system with 10 link rooms

Done - BeoSound 3200 unplugged from power. Might get active again if the BeoVision 5 is not working anymore.
Hello,
I would like to reroute the light commands from my BL3500 to my Beolink Gateway which is only working from sw version 3.3.
I tried to find out the sw version of my BL3500 (from 1994) but neither combination ("Menu Menu 00 go" or "Menu 00 go" worked. Any idea what can cause this?
Kind regards,
Luc

Hello,
It is in a working setup with BS5 as audiomaster and a beolink converter NL/ML as videomaster to get access to my Beovision Avant 55 MKI.
All commands seem to work properly.

I removed it from the wall and the type plate shows sw: 2.0 Type No:1601.
Is there a way to update the sw to version 3.3 as needed to reroute the light/control commands?

To upgrade the BL3500 software you actually need to replace PCB 3 which is the Microprocessor and memory all in one module. These modules are very hard to find, so you may be better off replacing the BL3500 with one with the newer SW fitted.

It is in a working setup with BS5 as audiomaster and a beolink converter NL/ML as videomaster to get access to my Beovision Avant 55 MKI. All commands seem to work properly.Then it sound odd that the Menu 0 0 Go command does not work. How about Menu 0 2 Go (shows status of Masterlink)?
I removed it from the wall and the type plate shows sw: 2.0 Type No:1601.When it was delivered with SW 2.0 it is most probable a MK1 version. To verify that further you can see if MCL is engraved in the metal beneath the 8 Pin DIN connector on the back. You can also check the serial number MK1 has serial numbers lower than 19343452 If you did not buy the BL3500 from new there is of course a slight chance that a former owner updated the software, but the only wa to confirm is the Menu 0 0 Go command And BTW since it's most likely a MK1 the key sequence is only with one press on Menu.
I would like to reroute the light commands from my BL3500 to my Beolink Gateway which is only working from sw version 3.3.Can you tell where you have the info regarding the Light commands and software version from? Reason for asking is that in another thread I am trying to keep a list of software changes in the BL3500 and would like to get as much info as possible, and with sources if possible. Thanks in advance

When I press Menu it activates the timer with display "On 0:00".
Serial No: 18352475
the document with the MLGW compatibility is attached. You can find it on the site https://mlgw.bang-olufsen.dk/source/documents/

When I press Menu it activates the timer with display “On 0:00”.Ok that would indicate that you need to press Menu once more to get the timer away. Else the numbers are going into the timer settings. I have tried this many times probably because I was pressing Menu Menu to fast in a row, so try to adjust the timing between the key presses

Thanks for the information: by adjusting the timing between the two presses of "menu" I could indeed get into the test menu. 00 then showed "sw: 2.0".
