mLAN Updater for 01X User Guide


Thank you for purchasing and using the Yamaha 01X Digital Mixing Studio.


This application is for updating the mLAN part of the 01X's firmware.


What's new in this update:

·         This data set updates the mLAN firmware of the 01X to version "B0-519".

·         This version of firmware was modified to support internal processing changes when plugging or unplugging mLAN(IEEE1394/FireWire) cable between the 01X and the computer.

·         With the previous versions of the mLAN firmware of the 01X, there is no major problem in use, however this new version makes the internal processing when plugging/unplugging smoother.


Before updating:

STEP1:This updater needs you to have the  "mLAN Driver and Tools (for 01X, i88X or mLAN16E)", which can be the version bundled with Yamaha 01X or the version downloaded from "http://www.mlancentral.com", to be installed and functioning correctly.

[NOTE]

This updater can be used in conjunction with any version of "mLAN Driver and Tools (for 01X, i88X or mLAN16E)", including version 1.5.3(1.5.1 for Macintosh OS 9) which accompanies this file set. It is your choice as to whether you perform the firmware updates to 01X before or after you have updated the drivers.

STEP2: Before updating the firmware, connect your Yamaha 01X to your computer (Windows XP/Macintosh) via an mLAN(IEEE1394/FireWire) cable.

[IMPORTANT NOTE]

1. Only one computer is allowed in the IEEE1394 (FireWire) network. If you are using Firewire based networking to link other computers, please disconnect them before performing this update.

2. If you have more than one 01X in your system, please disconnect the second or more units, and update each one, separately.

3.  Please disconnect all cables from other IEEE1394 (FireWire) devices or switch the power to any other Firewire device connected off, before performing this update. This includes DV video cameras, hard disk drives etc.


Note: Whilst the update is in progress

 

1. Please don't unplug your mLAN (IEEE1394/FireWire) cable.
2. Please don't connect any other IEEE1394 (FireWire/mLAN) devices.
3. Please don't turn 01X's power off.
