Configuring the MLC via the USB Port
The mini-Type B USB port can be used to configure the MLC via the configuration software
and to update the firmware. This USB port also functions as a power source for the MLC
during configuration.
NOTE: Do not use this port as the permanent power source for the MLC. It should be
used for power only during button and port configuration.
1. If the MLC has already been installed, access the USB port as follows:
• MLC D models: Remove the wallplate from the unit to access the USB port,
which is located on the front panel behind the wallplate (see “
Accessing the
Covered MLC D Front Panel Features ,” later in this section).
• MLC 62 RS EU and MK: Remove the MLC from the installation surface to
access the USB port, which is located on the left side panel (see “
Accessing
MLC 62 RS EU and MK Side and Rear Panel Features ,” later in this section).
2. Connect a USB A to mini B cable between the USB configuration port and the USB
port on your computer.
