Hi,

i have a working  BeoLink Converter NL/ML setup with Beovision 10, Beosound 9000.

It is configured as Audio source and delivers N.Music / N.Radio to the Beosound 9000 from a NL Beosound 2. Works since 2 years now like a charm.

I have another Beovision 10 in my hobbyroom and want listen to  N.Music / N.Radio as well.

I bought a second BeoLink Converter NL/ML and it is connected to the Beosvison 10 with ML and on NL directly to the router.

It is of course configured as Audiomaster and has an irEye connected just for forwarding the Light and Control commands to my MLGW. I configured N.Music / N.Radio to ML from BeoPlay M5.

From the ML side nothing is shared to NL

It has a static IP address. Beovison has V.Opt 2, BeoLink Converter NL/ML A.Opt 4.

Everything works but just once or twice, the next day I have no sound. (Beovision turns on, BeoLink Converter NL/ML  turns on even BeoPlay 5 turns on!) And  I cannot send Light / Control Commands to the MLGW, the errror log on the MLGW shows nothing. The Beovison goes off after a while.

I can access the BeoLink Converter NL/ML from a PC without any problem.

In case i unplug the ethernet cable and replug it, it comes back to live, a reboot does it as well.

But this cannot be the solution. What is going wrong?

I changed the port of the router, i changed all cables ML and NL but nothing helps.

I used another Beoplay Source A6, M3 and Beosound 1 but this does not work at all.

Do you have any idea what to test or configure next?

Is it correct to configure both BeoLink Converters with N.Radio / N.Music?

Ralf

Beovision 10-32 latest build 229 with new ML module, 2017 serviced by B&O

The other one with Besound 9000 is a 10-46, but this is working fine.

That's the problem. The 10-32 was a link room only TV, meaning it doesn't actually power the ML system as a true video master normally does. You'll need to add the ML power box to your NL Converter #2 setup to get the ML from the TV to talk to the converter.

How do you know that?

Or...do you mean that all 10-32 are ‘linkroom-tv’s’?

If yes, this would also mean that you can not use any 10-32 as a master in an oldschool ML-setup with a ML-audiomaster?

This would be new to me - although I can’t remember having setup a system like that.

Years of working for B&O. 😁 The 10-32 wasn't originally positioned to be a master-style TV (most likely due to it's size) so the function of having a fully supported master capability isn't there. Think of the 10-32 as a BL3500 with a screen. Without a master you will not receive sound through the ML.

Is the 10-32 the only Beovision that hasn’t fully supported Masterlink capability? I have a Beovision 1LS (link slave) and when I used it as a master in option 1 some years ago it worked perfect.

Thanks for the explanation - one never learns out ;-)

I do not see the purpose of the second BLC In this setup.

With your setup it would be easier to connect the BV10 s, the BLC and the BS9000 through ML and connect the BS2 to the BLC through NL.

Programme the BLC adequately and you have the NL sources on both BV10
