Names and Functions A
SERIAL I/O jack
This jack is used to connect the CD8-mLAN directly to a personal computer via a serial cable. Use
this jack to connect the CD8-mLAN 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 CD8-mLAN 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 CD8-mLAN 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 11 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 CD8-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.
