volume control.
Figure 1. MLCPlus84MK Front Panel
The MLCPlus84EU fits most standard two-gang European wall boxes. The MLCPlus84MK fits most standard two-gang
MK-type wall boxes. These two models are identical except for the EU- or MK-specific wallplates and mounting hardware.
Features, connectors, and operation are the same for both models.
This guide provides instructions for an experienced installer to install an MLCPlus84 Series controller and to create a basic
configuration. Use Extron Toolbelt software to discover and manage the MLCPlus controller and other Extron control products.
Configure the controller using Extron GlobalConfigurator
®
software running in Global Configurator Professional (GCProfessional)
or GlobalConfigurator Plus (GCPlus) mode. The MLC integrates with Extron GlobalViewer
®
Enterprise (GVE) software and the
Extron Control apps for remote control applications.
Installation
Step 1: Get Ready
Use the following check list to prepare for the installation.
Download and install the latest version of the following:
• Toolbelt software — for discovering the controller and other control products on the network, for managing core
settings, and for upgrading firmware if the need arises.
• Global Configurator (GC) software — for configuring the controller.
• IPLinkPro device drivers — for use with GC, to make control of AV possible.
All are avail able from www.extron.com (see Locating Software, Firmware, and Driver Files on the Extron Website on page13).
Obtain network information for the unit from the network administrator. You need the following details for each IPLinkPro device:
DHCP setting (on or off) Subnet mask User name
Device (MLC Plus 84) IP address Gateway IP address Passwords
Write down the MAC address of each IPLinkPro device (such as the MLC Plus 84) to be used.
Obtain model names and setup information for devices the MLC Plus 84 will control or monitor.
Each controller comes with a factory-installed Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) security certificate. If you intend to install a
different SSL certificate, contact your IT department to obtain the certificate or for instructions on how to obtain one. See
“Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Certificates” in the MLCPlus84Series User Guide for requirements and guidelines regarding
SSL certificates.

Step 2: Prepare the Installation Site
ATTENTION:
• Installation and service must be performed by authorized personnel only.
• L’installation et l’entretien doivent être effectués uniquement par un technicien qualifié.
• Extron recommends installing the MLC Plus 84 into a grounded electrical junction box.
• Extron recommande d’installer le MLC Plus 84 dans une boîte de dérivation électrique mis à la terre.
• If the controller will be installed into fine furniture, it is best to hire a licenced, bonded craftsperson to cut the access hole
and perform the physical installation so the surface will not be damaged.
• S’il est prévu d’installer le contrôleur dans du beau mobilier, il est préférable de faire appel à un artisan autorisé et
qualifié pour couper le trou d’accès et réaliser l’installation de telle façon que la surface ne soit pas endommagée.
• Follow all national and local building and electrical codes that apply to the installation site.
• Respectez tous les codes électriques et du bâtiment, nationaux et locaux, qui s’appliquent au site de l’installation.
• The end user or installer must furnish the junction box. It is not included with the unit.
• Il incombe à l’utilisateur final ou à l’installateur de fournir la boîte de dérivation. Cet équipement n’est pas inclus avec
l’unité.
NOTE: Follow the local and national electrical and building codes that apply to the installation site. In most cases you will
need to use an approved electrical junction box. Read any installation instructions and regulatory guidelines that come with
the mounting devices (raceway, junction box, surface mounting box) before installing the raceway or box.
Select and prepare the site before cabling the controller. This may include cutting a hole in the installation surface or installing a
cabling raceway, running the cables to that site, installing the wall box, and pulling cables through it.
Accessibility
If applicable, when planning where to install the MLCPlus84, you may need to consider factors affecting accessibility of the
controller such as height from the floor, distance from obstructions, and how far a user must reach to press the buttons. For
guidelines, see sections 307 (“Protruding Objects”) and 308 (“Reach Ranges”) of the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design
available at http://www.ada.gov/regs2010/2010ADAStandards/2010ADAStandards.pdf.
Site Preparation
The MLCPlus84EU fits a standard two-gang European wall (junction) box or external wall box.
The MLCPlus84MK fits a standard two-gang MK-type junction box or external wall box.
The installer must provide the box.
Read any installation instructions and regulatory guidelines that come with the wall box before installation.
To prepare the site:
1. For installation into a wall or furniture: Measure, mark, and carefully cut a hole in the mounting surface.
2. For all types of installations: Run cables to the junction box.
3. Secure the cables with a clamp for strain relief and so they do not slip back down into the wall or furniture.
4. Secure the box to the raceway, stud, wall, or furniture.

MLC Plus 84 EU and MLC Plus 84 MK • Setup Guide (Continued)
Reset Modes: a Brief Summary
The MLC Plus 84 Series controllers offer the following reset modes:
• Use Factory Firmware: Press and hold the rear panel Reset button while applying power to the unit. Keep holding
the button down until the Reset LED blinks twice, or for 6 seconds, then release the button.
The control processor enters factory firmware mode. For units with firmware prior to version
2.00.0001, the LED blinks quickly. Use this mode to revert to factory firmware in the event of a
firmware failure.
Do not continue to operate the controller using the factory rmware version. If you want to use
the factory default rmware version, you must upload that version again.
• Project Recovery: See the MLC Plus 84 Series User Guide for instructions. Use this mode to recover the project in
the event of a lost user name and password.
• Run/Stop Program: Hold down the Reset button for about 3 seconds, until the Reset LED blinks once. Release
and press the Reset button momentarily (for <1second) within 1second. (Nothing happens if
the momentary press does not occur within 1second.) The LED blinks 2 times if the program is
starting. The LED blinks 3 times if the program is stopping. This mode allows you to restart any
scripts or events stopped by an IP settings reset.
• Toggle DHCP Client: Press the Reset button five times (consecutively). Release the button. Do not press the button
within 3seconds following the fifth press. Use this mode to enable or disable the DHCP client
for the LAN port.
• The Reset LED blinks 6 times if the DHCP client is enabled.
• The Reset LED blinks 3 times if the DHCP client is disabled.
NOTES:
• DHCP toggle mode is supported on firmware version 3.00.0000 or higher.
• By default DHCP is off and the unit uses a static IP address.
• When you disable DHCP, the unit uses the previous static IP address.
• Reset All IP Settings: Press and hold the rear panel Reset button for 6 seconds. After the Reset LED blinks twice,
release and momentarily press the Reset button. Use this mode to reset all network settings
to factory default values without affecting user-loaded files. This reset mode also stops any
running scripts and events.
• Reset to Factory Defaults: Press and hold the rear panel Reset button for 9 seconds. After the Reset LED blinks three
times, release and momentarily press the Reset button within 1 second. Use this mode to
return the controller to factory default settings. This mode also deletes all user-loaded files and
configurations.
For detailed information on each mode and its use, see the MLC Plus 84 Series User Guide at www.extron.com.

Obtaining Control Drivers
Extron provides an extensive selection of device
drivers available on the Extron website. If the
system requires a control driver that is not already
available, you can request a new serial (RS-232) or
Ethernet driver from Extron.
Obtaining Instructions, Information, and Assistance
A checklist of basic setup steps is provided in this guide. For
additional information see the help files and the MLCPlus84Series
User Guide, available at www.extron.com.
If you have questions during installation and setup, call the ExtronS3
Sales & Technical Support Hotline or the ExtronS3 Control
Systems Support Hotline (1.800.633.9877).
Rev. C, 08/2018: Changed wording of various items in the
reset modes summary:
For the Use Factory Firmware mode, added more text to
clarify how long to hold the button, and on LED behavior
for units with versions prior to 2.x.
Per peer reviewer (Sean), added (for IPCP guides) “
Do
not continue to operate the control processor using
the factory firmware version. If you want to use the
factory default firmware version, you must upload
that version again.
“
Added Run/Stop Program mode and DHCP toggle mode.
For the Reset All IP Settings mode, noted that the mode
stops running scripts/events.
For the Reset to Factory Defaults mode, noted that the
reset deletes user-loaded files and configs.
Rev. D: corrected
behavior when DHCP
is disabled from using
the firmware default
IP address to using
the previous static IP
address.
Rev. C, 09/2018: Removed the
“About Global Configurator (with
GC Professional and GC Plus
Modes)” section (as has been done
in the IPL Pro and IPCP Pro setup
guides), which isn’t needed here
and is partially redundant with text
earlier in this guide.

Locating Software, Firmware, and Driver Files on the Extron Website
There are three main ways to find software, firmware, and device drivers within www.extron.com:
• Via links from the web page for the specific product
• Via the Download page (Click on the Download tab at the top of any page within www.extron.com.)
• Via links from search results
NOTES:
• For some software you have the option to click the Download Now button to begin downloading the software file. For
other software there is a link for contacting an Extron support representative who can provide you access to the latest
version.
To obtain Extron control product software, you must have an Extron Insider account. Extron provides training to our
customers on how to use the software. Access to the full features of Global Configurator Professional is available to
those who successfully complete Extron Control Professional Certification.
• New RS-232 and Ethernet drivers are required. You must use serial and Ethernet drivers developed specifically
for the IPLinkPro platform. With the exception of IR device drivers, drivers used for the previous generation IPLink
(non-Pro) controllers are not compatible.
Removing the MLCPlus EU or MK from the Mounting Surface
Before you can replace buttons or faceplates on an MLCPlus84 EU or MK, if the unit is installed in a wall or furniture,
you must remove the unit from the metal mounting bracket and installation surface. To help with this task, Extron
provides a removal tool (shown at right) with the unit. Use only this provided removal tool.
To remove the MLCPlus84 EU or MK from the mounting surface:
1. Insert the flat tip of the removal tool in the center of the right or left
edge of the MLCPlus, between the faceplate and wall frame.
2. Push the tool into the gap until the line on the tool aligns
with the edge of the faceplate.
3. Press (angle) the removal tool outward from the MLC,
toward the mounting surface (as shown in the figure
at right) to release the tab that secures the MLCPlus
within the wall frame.
4. Repeat steps 1 and 2 on the opposite side of the
MLCPlus. The unit should tilt out from the frame.
NOTE: The wall frame is removed at the same
time you remove the MLCPlus from the bracket
and mounting surface.
Rev. C: Replaced GC-specific
wording about downloads with
generic “Extron control product
software” wording.
Rev. B: Added the
“removing the unit”
section.
