User manual YAMAHA MY8-MLAN

[. . . ] mLAN is a digital network designed for music and based on the IEEE 1394 high performance serial bus. mLAN makes it easy to construct sophisticated networks for audio and MIDI signals that can be re-configured without changing the physical cabling (as was necessary with previous systems). The MY8-mLAN adds two mLAN connectors to the Yamaha AW4416 or AW2816 professional audio workstations, or to the Yamaha 01V digital mixing console etc. (Consult your Yamaha dealer for details of other applicable Yamaha equipment. ) Package Contents · · · · · · MY8-mLAN mLAN Tools (CD-ROM) IEEE 1394 cable (4. 5 m) Owner's manual (this document) mLAN guidebook mLAN Tools installation guide About the included CD-ROM The included CD-ROM contains software that is useful when used in conjunction with the MY8-mLAN. [. . . ] If you want to change the settings, you must turn off the host device, remove the MY8-mLAN, and then change the settings. Names and Functions English 1 2 3 A mLAN (IEEE1394) jacks These jacks are used to connect mLAN devices or IEEE1394-compatible devices via IEEE1394 standard (6-pin) cables. Each jack has an LED in the upper left corner to indicate the following statuses. green : The MY8-mLAN or connected device is a "leaf" node. red : When there is a possibility that the sound will be interrupted. NOTE If you disconnect the cable from the jack or turn off the power of the device when the LED is lit red, the sound on the bus (system) will be momentarily interrupted. B RT/ERR LED This LED indicates the following statuses. green : The MY8-mLAN is a "root" node. orange : An IEEE 1394 bus-related error has occurred. red : Another type of error has occurred. off : Normal operating condition other than the above. NOTE Refer to "LED Messages" on page 13 for information on the error indication. C ACTIVE LED This LED indicates the following statuses. blue : The relay function between mLAN (IEEE 1394) jacks is active. off : The relay function between mLAN (IEEE 1394) jacks is inactive. NOTE Since the MY8-mLAN will stop functioning as a bus relay when the power of the main unit is turned off, this LED will also correspond to the power on (lit blue) or off (dark) status. 6 DIP switch (SW1) settings The MY8-mLAN has a switch that specifies whether audio input/output and MIDI input/output via mLAN will be enabled. In this switch, moving the white slider toward the number will turn the setting "OFF, " and moving it toward the side marked ON will turn the setting "ON. " The following settings are assigned to each number 1­8. Audio OUTPUT-Plug 1-8 (ON enables, OFF disables) This specifies whether the audio output plugs will be enabled or disabled. If this is ON, the eight audio output plugs will be enabled. If this is OFF, the audio output plugs will be disabled. Audio INPUT-Plug 1-8 (ON enables, OFF disables) This specifies whether the audio input plugs will be enabled or disabled. If this is ON, the eight audio input plugs will be enabled. If this is OFF, the audio input plugs will be disabled. MIDI INPUT-Plug, OUTPUT-Plug (ON enables, OFF disables) This specifies whether the MIDI input/output plugs will be enabled or disabled. If this is ON, one MIDI output plug and one MIDI input plug will be enabled. If this is OFF, the MIDI plugs will be disabled. ­ MY8-mLAN number This specifies the number of the module name. When you are using multiple MY8-mLAN units together, use these ON/OFF switches to specify a number that will distinguish each unit from the others. This will be reflected in the module name (e. g. , "MYmLAN31") used when you make mLAN connection settings. [. . . ] green orange The number of hops exceeds 16. orange The power to the bus is insufficient. red red red red MIDI IN transfer rate is not correct. Data transmission exceeds the MIDI transfer rate. [. . . ]
