Viewing Node Information

In Graphic view, you can display and change detailed node information by clicking the node icons 
(page 13) for the computer and mLAN devices, or selecting a node and then selecting [Node 
Information] from the [View] menu. The Node Information (Audio) window opens from the Audio or 
Wordclock Connection windows, and the Node Information (MIDI) window opens from the MIDI 
Connection window.

■

Vendor

Indicates the manufacturer of the node device.

■

Model Name

Indicates the model of the node device.

■

Model Nickname

Indicates and enables you to change the node nickname. You can assign any nickname (up to 32 
characters) to help identify the node. You cannot use two-byte characters (such as Japanese or 
Chinese characters).

■

GUID

Indicates a unique ID for mLAN device nodes. If two nodes are mLAN devices of the same model, 
the IDs are different for each device.
If the node represents a computer, this field indicates the ID for the IEEE1394 card.
