The converter gets (if it is set as default) an IP adress. You should be able to find it on your network.

Connecting it directly to a pc is one way (as Vienna wrote).

You could also (if all is connected to a wireless router) do the following:

- Open the Internet Browser on the iPad/iPhone (‘Safari’).

- Enter ‘BLC-’ followed by the BeoLink Converter NL/ML serial number: BLC-XXXXXXXX.local.

The username and the password is by default 'admin' 'admin' (hopefully not changed?)

Now you can access the userinterface.

 Under 'tools' you can see the softwareversion and update/set to autoupdate.

NOTE: it is recommended from Bang & Olufsen that a NL network ( including the converter) is set up wirh a seperate router as a subnetwork!

My converter was also set on autoupdate, but for some reason it didn't work with the last software update of the BV11. I heard from my dealer, that this problem showed up with several clients.

- disconnect ML/NL from mains
- after a few seconds restore power and wait till the LED stops flashing green 

- using your browser enter: 169.254.11.22
- a log in screen opens, please enter
- default user name: admin
- default pwd: admin

I have access to the interface now, thanks! It says that the software version is 1.0.0.0. Automatic update was set disabled. But when I ask to update the software it does nothing.

Frederik, I am sure you will have to  describe how your setup is/how the converter is connected to your network to get further help!

Converter is connected to the BV11 with RJ45 from the ethernet port. Cable goes to my router (Zyxel) and from there to the NL/ML converter with RJ45 aswell. The NL/ML is hooked up to the socket unit of my BeoCenter 2 with masterlink. I have tried with an extra router as you mention, Millemissen, but without any luck. As when I access the user interface I just plug in an ethernet cable from the Network link plug from the NL/ML converter to my PC. Which slot should I use for connecting the NL/ML to my router then?

Does this mean that: 

The converter is directly connected to the BV11?

If yes, how is the tv connected to the internet?

If you can wait half an hour/one hour, please? Then I will be back!

I will have to change to my Mac, this is too much for the iPad - might post a couple of pictures as well.

Hi Millemissen,

No, both the BV11 and the converter is connected to the same router (BV11 gets internet with WLAN connection). I would be a huge help with some pictures. I'll wait for those :)

Obviously, as long as your ML/NL is directly conneted to the PC, there is no internet connection ... 🙂

After having set automatic update to "on", restore your "standard wiring" via router.
Then your converter can access your network and is also able to get updates via internet.

The update may take up to an hour ...

Frederik, is the router itself connected to the Internet?

I ask since you mention the BV11 gets Internet via WLAN which is strange if you already have a LAN cable connection - unless that is for a Beolink subnet not exposed to the Internet
