MLC 52 Series MediaLink Controllers • Operation
After approximately 17% of the data has been transferred, the On button
lights and remains lit to maximum brightness. After another 17% has been
transferred, the Off button lights to maximum brightness. The buttons
continue to light brightly in clockwise order after each increment of 17% of
the data has been transferred. When a button becomes permanently lit, the
remaining buttons continue to blink in clockwise rotation, until the transfer
process is complete and all buttons are remain steadily lit.
The following table shows how each percentage of transferred data is
indicated by button lighting:

When the transfer is complete, all buttons on each unit remain brightly lit
until a button is pressed on the unit.
If the transmission is interrupted (for example, the two units
become separated so that the IR LEDs are no longer in direct line
of sight of each other), and the conditions necessary for transfer are
then restored, the two units restart the transfer process.

When the data transfer is complete, do either of the following:
•
If you are finished performing data transfers, return configuration
switch #2 on the receiving MLC to the off (down) position. Press any
button on both units to return them to the state they were in before the
transfer. All buttons dim except for those that were bright previously.
Reinitialize the receiving unit by pressing any of its front panel buttons.
•
If you want to repeat the transfer process to configure another MLC 52,
repeat steps 2 and 3 for the unit that is to be configured. Press any button
on the donor unit. The transfer process restarts.
Configuring using IR learning
You can also configure the MLC 52 by using IR learning, which does not require
configuration software. By this method, you can program the functions on your
display device’s remote control onto the buttons on the MLC front panel. This
procedure must be performed before the MLC is mounted on a wall or furniture, so
that the IR Transmit/Receive LEDs are accessible.
To program the MLC via IR learning,
