Unable to communicate via mLAN
• Has the driver been installed?..........................................Refer to the Installation Guide.
• Is the mLAN cable properly connected? Check the connection; disconnect the mLAN
cable once, then insert it again.
• (For Windows) Is mLAN set to “ON”? From the taskbar, right click on the mLAN Man-
ager icon........................ Refer to “Checking after Installation” in the Installation Guide.
• (For Windows) When adding a new IEEE 1394 card, right click on the mLAN Manager
icon in the taskbar and select “ON.”.
................... Refer to “Checking after Installation” in the Installation Guide.
• Is the ACTIVE lamp on the rear panel of the mLAN device lit (in blue)? If it is not lit,
check the followings:
- In mLAN Driver Setup (from taskbar, right click on the mLAN Manager icon (
), then
“Driver Setup”), is the Status indicator blue? If not, restart the mLAN device and re-
enable connection by using mLAN Auto Connector or mLAN Graphic Patchbay.
..........................Refer to page 25 and “Connecting the Computer and
mLAN devices via mLAN” in the Installation Guide.
• Has connection been enabled with mLAN Auto Connector and/or Graphic Patchbay?
Re-enable connection if necessary.
..........................Refer to page 25 and “Connecting the Computer and
mLAN devices via mLAN” in the Installation Guide.
• Have you changed the device? Even if the model is the same, if the actual device is dif-
ferent, it is necessary to re-enable connection by using Auto Connector and/or Graphic
Patchbay.
..........................Refer to page 25 and “Connecting the Computer and
mLAN devices via mLAN” in the Installation Guide.
• Is there a loop connection? Check the cabling and make sure none of the devices are
connected in a loop.
• There may be a limit on the IEEE 1394 interface of your computer as to the number of
ports that can be used simultaneously. Check how many ports can be used simulta-
neously. .......... Refer to “Maximum Number of Connected Nodes” on page 19 and 21.
• Turn off all devices on the mLAN network (except the computer) and re-connect each
device one-by-one until the device causing the problem is found.
• (For Windows) (When removing the mLAN bus from the [Safely Remove Hardware] set-
ting of the task bar.) Restart the computer when using mLAN again.
• With Macintosh notebook computers such as the iBook and PowerBook, always first
connect the mLAN device and mLAN cable then turn on the power of the mLAN device,
before starting up the computer.
• Make sure that you set up the wordclock correctly. Also, make sure that one node is
assigned as master and the other nodes are assigned as slaves. .................See page 25.
