Yamaha mLAN16E Expansion Board Owner's Manual

mLAN16E is an expansion board that features an mLAN interface. mLAN is a digital network designed for music and is based on the IEEE1394 high performance serial bus and data communication protocol. mLAN makes it easy to construct sophisticated networks for IEEE1394 (FireWire/i.LINK) audio and MIDI signals without having to re-configure the cabling, as was necessary in older, conventional systems. The mLAN16E adds two mLAN connectors to an mLAN16E-compatible device, such as the Yamaha MOTIF ES music production synthesizer. Please read this manual carefully to take full advantage of the mLAN16E's functionality.
