A
SERIAL I/O jack
This jack is used to connect the mLAN8E directly to a personal computer via a serial cable. Use this
jack to connect the mLAN8E and the computer when you are using the mLAN Patchbay and mLAN
Mixer on Windows. This is not used to input or output MIDI and audio signals. Refer to page 7 for
more information on the connections.
B
mLAN (IEEE1394) jacks
These jacks are used to connect mLAN devices or IEEE1394-compatible devices via IEEE1394 stan-
dard (6-pin) cables. Each jack has an LED in the upper left corner to indicate the following statuses.
green
: The mLAN8E or connected device is a “leaf” node.
off
: Not connected.
red
: If the cable is disconnected, the sound will be interrupted on a connected device or other
device.
C
RT/ERR LED
This LED indicates the following statuses.
green
: The mLAN8E is a “root.”
orange : An error has occurred. (IEEE1394 bus-related)
red
: An error has occurred. (Other errors)
off
: Status other than above.
Refer to “LED Messages” on page 21 for information on the error indication.
D
ACTIVE LED
This LED indicates the following statuses.
blue
: The relay function is active.
off
: The relay function is disabled.
Since the mLAN8E does not function as a bus relay when the power is turned off, the active
LED also indicates whether the power to the unit is on (blue) or off.
