The Extron MLC 104 IP Plus Series MediaLink® Controller integrates Ethernet connection into AV systems to allow users
to remotely control, monitor, and troubleshoot AV equipment, including display devices and switchers. It includes an
embedded web server, serial ports, and configurable digital I/O ports for use in applications that require control and
monitoring of multiple devices within an AV system.
The MLC 104 IP Plus series of controllers are configured using the free Extron Global Configurator (GC) software. The
MLCs integrate seamlessly with Extron GlobalViewer® Enterprise (GVE) software and the free GlobalViewer web-based AV
resource management softwarefor remote control applications. Global Configurator and other useful software applications
are available at www.extron.com.
A checklist of basic setup steps is provided at the end of this guide. For additional information see the help files and the
MLC 104 IP Plus Series User Guide, available at www.extron.com.
