Initial Setup 

 
The following steps will help you set up and integrate your mio10 as easily as possible. 
 
1. Connect the power adaptor to a power outlet and to the rear panel of the mio10. 
 
2. Connect a Mac or PC to rear-panel USB Device jack 1, using the supplied USB-A to USB-B 
cable. 
 
3. Download and install the included iConfig software to a Mac or PC from 
www.iconnectivity.com/support/downloads. Launch the program. 
 
iConfig will automatically check to ensure your interface has the latest firmware installed. 
 
mio10 is shipped from the factory with a default configuration that includes MIDI routing and 
merging between all the connected devices. You can operate the mio10 in this default 
configuration, or use iConfig to customize the routing and MIDI management for your specific 
needs. Custom settings can be saved on the interface for next use. 
 
mio10 requires no driver software to operate on either Mac OS X or Windows.
 
(The exception is that Network MIDI on Windows computers requires the rtpMIDI driver:

) 

 
3. Connect your MIDI devices and/or an additional Mac or PC to the interface. Your interface 
can also operate stand-alone without a computer. 
 
For detailed information about hardware connections, please see the 

mio10 Hardware Layout

. 

 
4. The mio10's MIDI routings are in the factory default state, which is a "one size fits all" 
setup that you can reconfigure. Your Mac/PC DAW software automatically sees all the 
available 16-channel MIDI port sources and destinations the mio10 provides, and connected 
MIDI devices are routed to both computers and to each other. 
 
For information about MIDI routing, both the factory default setup and how to customize it, 
please see the 

MIDI Routing and Processing

 section.
