MIDI Information: 

Number of MIDI Ports: Shows the total number of 
MIDI ports available on the 5-pin DIN Jacks, USB 
Device Jacks, USB Host Jack and Ethernet Sessions. 
Note:  Each MIDI port is a 16-channel data stream. 
Number of DIN pairs: Shows the number of 
standard 5-pin MIDI DIN connector pairs (In/Out). 
Number of Device jacks: Shows the number of 
USB-B connections available for Mac or PC 
computer devices. 
Number of USB MIDI Ports/Device Jack: Each 
Device Jack can can support multiple MIDI ports.  

This entry shows the total number of ports 
supported on each jack. 
Number of USB Host Jacks: Shows the number of 
USB Host Jacks available, for hosting Class-
Compliant USB MIDI devices. 
Number of USB MIDI Ports/Host Jack: 
The USB 
Host Jack supports multiple MIDI ports. By adding 
an optional powered USB hub, multiple USB MIDI 
devices can access the available MIDI ports on the 
Host Jack. 
Maximum number of ports to use on multi-port 
USB devices: 
Multi-port USB devices can be 
assigned more than one of the available USB MIDI 
ports on the Host Jack. This setting limits the 
number of ports used by any one multi-port 
device. 
Number of Ethernet Jacks: Shows the number of 
available Ethernet jacks on the product. 
Number of RTP MIDI Sessions/Ethernet Jack: The 
Ethernet Jack can support separate MIDI sessions 
with multiple networked computers. This number 
shows the maximum number of sessions. 
Number of RTP MIDI Connections/RTP MIDI 
Session:
 This indicates how many devices can be 
connected via each Ethernet session (normally 
one.) 
Enable routing between ports on multi-port USB 
devices:
 This is not normally required but can be 
enabled by checking this box. 
Enable Running Status on DIN ports: Running 
Status is a MIDI command that must be 
implemented - correctly - by receiving devices, so 
it is disabled by default. Its function is to reduce 
the amount of MIDI data by eliminating redundant 
status bytes. 
 

Port Information: 

General: Every MIDI port available to each mio10 
connection can have both its input and output 
enabled or disabled. Everything is on by default. 
Port Names can be edited. 
Note:  The default port names are based on the 
factory default routing so they may no longer be 
appropriate once you modify the routing. 
USB Host Jack: Once a device has been connected 
via the Host Jack, you can reserve one of the ports 
for that device for future connections. 
Ethernet Jack: Includes information about active 
Ethernet sessions.
