Nº532 Power Amplifier
Link2 Ports
Uses the Mark Levinson Link2 protocol to link together two or more Mark Levinson components. For more information on the Link2 protocol and how to use it with the Nº532, refer to the “Link2” section found later in this manual.
Ethernet Port
AC Input
Caution!
The Ethernet port is a standard 10/100BaseT connection for use with external control and networking. The Nº532 supports connection to a router or network, and to a
This connection is designed for use with proprietary Mark Levinson external controllers, such as ML Net, or can provide serial port control. For a list of the serial commands available, refer to the separate document, No. 5 series Power Amplifier Serial Protocol Definitions.
Provides AC power to the Nº532 when the supplied power cord is connected from the AC Input connector on the Nº532 rear panel to an electrical outlet.
Before operating the No532, verify that the voltage label near the AC input connector indicates an operating voltage compatible with the voltage level of the electrical outlet you intend to use.

Network Setup
The Nº532 dual monaural power amplifier supports a network connection through the Ethernet port. The Nº532 can connect to a network through use of a router or directly to a computer.
The Nº532 can be:
1.Connected to a router with DHCP active – we highly recommend using this option because the initial setup is much simpler, since DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) automatically assigns the IP (Internet Protocol) addresses.
2.Connected to a router with DHCP not active – this method requires more advanced networking knowledge to set up because it uses fixed static IP addressing.
3.Connected directly to a computer with no router – we only recommend using this option when a router is not available. This method required more advanced networking knowledge to set up because it uses fixed static IP addressing.
This section provides general instructions for all three methods.
