[. . . ] Select the destination mLAN device while holding down the Option key to assign multiple plugs simultaneously. 3 Disconnect All Click this button to change all pop-up menus on the right to "(No Plug). " Click [OK] while "(No Plug)" is selected for all these pop-up menus to disconnect all virtual transmission (mLAN connections) from the computer to the mLAN devices. 6 4 Update Click this button to have the system check and update the condition of the connected mLAN devices. Use this button if the settings on the mLAN devices are changed after mLAN Control Panel is started. 5 Revert Click to reset the dialog box to its original status when first opened. 6 OK Click to enable the dialog box settings and close the dialog box. 7 Cancel Click to close the dialog box without applying the changes you have made. The changes made to the dialog box become valid immediately when you click the [OK] button in the lower right corner. You do not have to click the [Set] button on the mLAN Control Panel. H Buffers This parameter enables you to specify the number of buffers for transmission inside the mLAN driver. The smaller the value, the less the delay created during audio or MIDI data transmission. If you specify too small a value, the system may not work correctly, depending on the computer's performance. I Buffer Length This parameter enables you to specify the length of a transmission buffer inside the mLAN driver in units of milliseconds, in the range of 1 through 100. The smaller the value, the less the delay created during audio or MIDI data transmission. If you specify too small a value, the system may not work correctly, depending on the computer's performance. The specified value may change to a different value, depending on the other parameter settings. J Receive This column enables you to set parameters for mLAN data reception. Checking the "Receive" checkbox enables data reception from the mLAN bus, and lets you make the necessary settings for reception. If you do not perform mLAN reception, remove the check from the checkbox. If you check the "Receive" checkbox, mLAN data will always be received by the current computer even if you are not using mLAN. This applies a load to the entire system, including non-mLAN-related application programs. Remove the check from this checkbox when you are not using mLAN. 7 K Isochronous Ch. This parameter determines and displays the Isochronous Channel number of the FireWire channel being used for mLAN data reception. The bar graph scrolls when data is being received, and it stops when no data is received. The number is automatically assigned when you click the [OK] button in the "Select Source" dialog box. If the computer receives IEEE1394 audio/MIDI data via a non-mLAN device such as another computer and if you know its Isochronous Channel number, the data can be received by specifying that number here. L Audio Sequences This parameter displays the number of mLAN audio sequences to be received. If this number does not match the actual number in the received data, a red warning message "Not Match" flashes on the right. To match the number to that of the data being received, click the [Fit Sequences] button. M MIDI Sequences This parameter displays the number of mLAN MIDI sequences to be received. If this number does not match the actual number in the received data, a red warning message "Not Match" flashes on the right. To match the number to that of the data being received, click the [Fit Sequences] button. N Select Source. . . Click here to open the dialog box to select an mLAN device that transmits mLAN data to the computer. The dialog box opens after the system scans and recognizes the connected mLAN devices. 8 "Select Source" dialog box This dialog box enables you to specify the mLAN device that transmits mLAN data to the computer. A 1 Device List/Output Plugs The Device List displays the list of connected mLAN devices. [. . . ] It is a good idea to name these devices, for example, as "mLAN port#1, " "mLAN port#2, " etc. Two FireWire interface cards are installed. The first card uses two ports for MIDI. 15 mLAN OMS Device Info dialog box Double-click the mLAN device icon, or select the mLAN device and select "MIDI Device Info. . . " from the "Studio" menu. The following Device Info dialog box appears. A B C D E In this dialog box, you can use the pop-up menus in the "Send" and "Receive" columns to specify which mLAN MIDI sequences (that are transmitted and received by the computer) are assigned to which port. The settings are stored as "mLAN OMS Driver Prefs" in the "mLAN Prefs" folder inside the "Preferences" folder in the "System" folder. [. . . ]
