Connecting your MOTIF XS and Computer via a Network
The MOTIF XS can be connected to a local area network (LAN) using a standard Ethernet cable. When
connected in this way, the File mode allows you save files created on your instrument to a computer on the
same network. In order to do so, connect the MOTIF XS to a router or hub using an Ethernet cable. Then,
connect your computer to the router or hub using an Ethernet cable or via wireless connection.
n
Ensure that you use straight-through Ethernet cables.
n
Due to EU regulations, users within Europe should use STP (shielded twisted pair) cables to prevent electromagnetic
interference.
n
If your computer is not equipped with an ETHERNET connector, install a commercially-available LAN adaptor into its PCI
slot or PC Card slot.
n
If you employ a broadband router to connect your computer to the Internet, use a vacant ETHERNET connector on the
router to connect the MOTIF XS. Bear in mind, however, that this does not connect the MOTIF XS to the Internet, only to
other computers and drives on the same network.
Configuring the Network
When you have successfully connected your MOTIF XS and computer via a network, you will need to
configure the network to allow files to be exchanged. Despite the fact that these two devices are now
physically joined, they will not be able to access each other via the network until these software settings have
been completed correctly.
