• Connection Manager enables you to make a mLAN connection
between the computer and the single mLAN device (n8, n12 or
mLAN16E2) peer-to-peer. The mLAN connection setup made by
Connection Manager can be changed in the mLAN Graphic
Patchbay. When you want to use multiple mLAN devices, use
mLAN Graphic Patchbay to make an mLAN connection. For
details, refer to the manual of mLAN Graphic Patchbay.

the connected IEEE1394 (mLAN) devices or connect/disconnect
any IEEE1394 (mLAN) cables.
