Using the KSP8 mLAN I/O Option
The mLAN I/O Option requires that the software revision level on your KSP8 be 1.9 or higher. The most current
KSP8 software is provided on the disk included with this option. You can update your software (if necessary) with
the KSP8 Boot Loader, as described in the
KSP8 User’s Guide
.
To con
fi
rm that the installation of the mLAN I/O Option has been successful:
1. Press the
con
fi
g
button.
2. Press the
INSEL
soft button. Turn the alpha wheel to display the available input selections. The
“mLAN
n
” inputs, such as shown below, should be available for all the inputs.

If the “mLAN
n
” inputs do not appear when you scroll through the input selections, the KSP8 is not
recognizing the option. In this case, you should con
fi
rm that the board is seated properly: turn off the
KSP8, remove the board, then reinsert it, making sure that it slides into both plastic rails and becomes
seated in the connector at the back of the opening.
While the INSEL page offers mLAN parameters when an mLAN option is detected, nothing changes on the INLVL
page, since that page is only concerned with analog inputs.
ClockSource
The ClockSource parameter on the Master page lets you select one of the following as master clock:
•
44.1 KHz Internal
•
48 KHz Internal
•
Base AES
•
mLAN
You will need to coordinate the clock source setting on the KSP8 with the setting in the mLAN Patchbay
application running on the host computer. You may achieve best results if you set the KSP8 to slave to mLAN
clock: set the ClockSource parameter on the KSP8’s Master page to mLAN, then con
fi
gure the master/slave
relationship on the Patchbay application’s WCLK page.
The Digital Lock LED on the front panel of the KSP8 will be solid green when locked to the mLAN clock. If this
LED is blinking or unlit, you need to check your clock settings.
DigWordLen
The DigWordLen parameter on the Master page defaults to 24 bits when the mLAN option is installed in the KSP8.
You may, however, change this setting if necessary. The KSP8 will dither to match your selected word length.
