Connections
Here’s how to connect the mLAN8E to other mLAN devices or to your computer.
Connecting an mLAN (IEEE1394) device
Use an IEEE1394 standard (6-pin) cable to connect the mLAN (IEEE1394) jack on the mLAN
(IEEE1394) device to the mLAN (IEEE1394) jack on the mLAN8E. At this time, you do not have to
turn off the power to either device.
Connecting a Windows computer (serial connection)
Use a serial cable to connect the computer’s RS232C jack to the mLAN8E’s SERIAL I/O jack. At this
time, make sure that the power to the computer and the device in which the mLAN8E is installed
is turned off.
Make this serial connection when using the included software on Windows. To use on a Macin-
tosh, connect the mLAN8E’s mLAN jack and the Macintosh’s FireWire port using an IEEE1394
cable. (See “Connecting an mLAN device.”)
Use a standard D-SUB 9P
→
MINI DIN 8P cable.
