Introduction
CobraNet Manager Lite for Yamaha (CobraNet Manager) allows MY16-CII related CobraNet
parameters such as bundle numbers to be displayed and edited. The MY16-CII is the only
Yamaha product supported by this software. Unsupported products will be displayed, but cannot
be controlled or edited. Please be sure to only use the CobraNet Manager when one or more
MY16-CII cards are online.

1. Setup Guide
In order to use the MY16-CII it is first necessary to set the appropriate bundle number and other
CobraNet parameters. This section will describe the procedure for using the CobraNet Manager
to make the initial CobraNet settings for the MY16-CII.
Note: Use the following methods to set up CobraNet devices other than the MY16-CII:
・ Use the DME Designer software to set up the DME8i-C/DME8o-C/DME4io-C.
・ Use the NetworkAmp Manager software to set up the ACU16-C/NHB32-C.
・ Use the on-board rotary switches to set up the MY16-C.
Or use the setup facilities provided for devices not listed above.
1.1. Connections
Begin by making the connections illustrated below in order to set up the CobraNet parameters
using the CobraNet Manager.
These connections are made specifically to set up the CobraNet parameters, and can be
changed later to suit system requirements.
Example 1: Simultaneous Setup of Multiple MY16-CII cards
The switching hub to which the MY16-CII cards are connected is connected to the computer via
an Ethernet straight cable.

1.2. CobraNet Manager Startup and Initial Settings
Once the computer and MY16-CII have been connected, from the [Start] menu click [All
Programs] -> [CobraNet Manager Lite Yamaha V1.1] to launch the CobraNet Manager.
The “Preferences” window shown below will appear the first time you launch the CobraNet
Manager. Follow the procedure outlined below to make the initial settings.

Note: The “Preferences” window can be opened after the CobraNet Manager has been launched
by selecting [General Preferences] from the [Setup] menu.
Network Adaptor Setup
1. Select the network adaptor (primary network) connected to the MY16-CII from the “Select
primary network adaptor” selection box.
2. Select “None” or a secondary network (a backup network that will take over if the primary
network connection is interrupted) adaptor from the “Select secondary network adaptor”
selection box.
Note: The CobraNet Manager can be used even if secondary network is not selected. Be sure to
select “None” if no secondary network will be used.
IP Address Setup
In order to set the bundle number and other CobraNet parameters using the CobraNet Manager,
it is necessary to assign IP addresses to the MY16-CII cards. The CobraNet Manager has a
function that will automatically assign IP numbers, which can normally be used as follows.
Note: It is not necessary to assign IP addresses if the CobraNet Manager will not be used.
1. The range over which IP address will be automatically assigned is specified by the “IP
Range Start” and “IP Range End” parameters. IP addresses having the same network
address as the computer but different host addresses will be assigned.
Note: The first time the CobraNet Manager is launched the IP address range is automatically set
based on the computer’s IP address (network address and host address). If these settings are
acceptable they do not need to be changed.
Note: Be sure that the specified IP address range does not include the computer’s own IP
address.
If the computer IP address is 192.168.0.1 and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0
IP Range Start 192.168.0.2
IP Range End 192.168.0.253
If the computer IP address is 172.16.0.1 and the subnet mask is 255.255.0.0
IP Range Start 172.16.0.2
IP Range End 172.16.254.253

2. Check the “Assign IP automatically to CobraNet devices” checkbox.
Note: The IP address that was assigned automatically is retained even if the power is turned off.
Moreover, IP addresses cannot be automatically re-assigned to the MY16-CII cards that already
have their own IP addresses. If you want to assign IP addresses manually, refer to page 15.
This completes setup for automatic assignment of IP addresses to MY16-CII cards.
Community String Setup
The “Default read community” should be set to “public”, and the “Default write community” to
“private”. These are the default settings when the CobraNet Manager is initially launched, so they
do not need to be changed.
Completion of Initial Setup
The above settings make it possible to control MY16-CII cards from the CobraNet Manager.
Click [OK] to close the “Preferences” window.
