mLAN Tools 2.0 and mLAN Applications for YAMAHA

mLAN Tools 2.0 software includes a driver that enables you to connect mLAN devices to a computer.
mLAN Applications for YAMAHA enables audio and MIDI signals to be transferred between a 
computer and mLAN devices via mLAN cables.
This software enables you to connect the i88X, mLAN16E, MY16-mLAN, or 01X to a computer via 
mLAN. 01X users should uninstall the older version of the mLAN software before installing this 
software. (Refer to the 01X Installation Guide.)
Follow the steps below to install these software applications.

• For explanations on error messages, see page 43.

Preparing to install

1

Disconnect all MIDI cables that connect MIDI 
devices to MIDI IN/OUT connectors on the 
mLAN device.

2

Using an IEEE1394 (FireWire/iLink) cable, 
connect the mLAN device directly to the com-
puter (without using a hub), and disconnect all 
other IEEE 1394-connected devices from the 
computer.

3

Make sure that the power to the mLAN device 
is turned off.

4

Start the computer and log in to the Adminis-
trator account.

• If you are using the S200 data transfer rate stan-

dard (check the rear panel of your particular 
device, or refer to the specifications in the owner’s 
manual), make sure to uninstall the old version of 
mLAN Tools beforehand. For more information on 
uninstalling the software, refer to the owner’s 
manual for the corresponding device.
