“mLAN Patchbay” is application software that allows mLAN plugs (virtual
input/output jacks) to be connected to or disconnected from the mLAN bus
(system), and synchronization settings of each mLAN device to be managed
— all under centralized control from your computer. The Macintosh version
manages the mLAN devices via IEEE 1394, and the Windows version man-
ages them via the serial interface.
