WARNING

CAUTION

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical shock, short-circuiting, damages, ﬁre or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

•Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the card. Do not apply excessive force to card connectors or other card components. Mishandling of the card may lead to shock, ﬁre hazard, or equipment failure.

•Be sure to disconnect the power cable of the main unit before installing this card (in order to eliminate shock hazard).

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage to the instrument or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

•The card is sensitive to static electricity. Before handling the card, you should brieﬂy touch the metal casing of the main unit with your bare hand to discharge any static charge from your body. Failure to do so may damage the card.

•Do not touch the metallic leads (pins) of the circuit board when handling the card. The pins are sharp and may cause hand cuts.

Yamaha cannot be held responsible for data loss or equipment damage caused by inappropriate handling or use.

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Yamaha MY8-mLAN. The MY8-mLAN is an interface card that provides mLAN interfacing. 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.)

About the included CD-ROM

The included CD-ROM contains software that is useful when used in conjunction with the MY8-mLAN. This software includes “mLAN Patchbay” which lets you make settings on your computer to specify the routing of audio/MIDI signals between mLAN devices connected to the MY8-mLAN. For details refer to the separate “mLAN Tools Installation Guide.”

How to install the MY8-mLAN

1.Set the MY8-mLAN’s DIP switch (SW1) according to your application. For details refer to page 7.

NOTE It is not possible to change the setting of the DIP switch (SW1) after the MY8-mLAN is installed. You must set the DIP switch before installation. If you want to change the settings, you must turn off the host device, remove the MY8-mLAN, and then change the settings.

2.Install the MY8-mLAN into your device. For details refer to the operation manual for your device.

WARNING

You must turn off the power of your device before you begin installing the MY8-mLAN.

3.Connect the device into which the MY8-mLAN was installed to your other mLAN (IEEE 1394) devices or IEEE 1394-compatible computer. For details refer to page 10.

4.Make mLAN connection settings. For details refer to page 12.

MY8-mLAN Installation Precautions

•Before beginning installation, switch off the power to the main unit and any connected peripherals, and unplug them from the power outlet. Then remove all cables connecting the main unit to other devices. (Leaving the power cord connected while working can result in electric shock. Leaving other cables connected can interfere with the installation procedure.)

•It is recommended that you wear gloves to protect your hands from sharp or pointed projections on the equipment.

•Board components may be damaged by electrostatic discharge. Be sure to drain any electrostatic charge from body and clothes before starting work. Keep hands clear of board components, board circuitry, and metallic leads while carrying out the installation.

•Handle the plug-in boards with care. Dropping or subjecting the card to any kind of shock may cause damage or result in a malfunction.

•Do not touch the exposed metal parts in the circuit board. Touching these parts may result in a faulty contact.

•Take care to avoid dropping screws into the main unit. If a screw does fall in, be sure to remove it before you reassemble and power up the unit. Starting the unit with a loose screw inside may lead to improper operation or to equipment failure. (If you are unable to retrieve a dropped screw, consult your Yamaha dealer for advice.)

Names and Functions

English

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.
off	: Not connected.
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.
