Protecting your data (write-protect)
To prevent important data from being inadvertently erased, apply the write-protect provided with each storage device or
media.
Network connection
The MOTIF XS can be connected to a LAN network via the ETHERNET cable. When the MOTIF XS is connected to the LAN
network, the File mode lets you save the file created on the MOTIF XS to the computer drive connected to the same network.
Connect the MOTIF XS to the router or hub with a LAN cable. Connect a computer to the router or hub with a LAN cable or
the wireless connection.
n Make sure to use a straight LAN cable.
n Due to EU regulations, users within Europe should use an STP (shielded twisted pair) cable to prevent electromagnetic interference.
n If your computer is not equipped with an ETHERNET connector, install a commercially available LAN adaptor to the PCI slot or PC Card slot
of your computer.
n If you have a broadband router to connect your computer to the Internet, use an unused ETHERNET connector on the router to connect the
MOTIF XS. Keep in mind however, that this does not allow you the MOTIF XS to be connected to the Internet, but only to other computers and
drives on the network.
After the LAN connection is completed, you should set the network related parameters to make the connection active. Once
the MOTIF XS has been connected to the network, files can be saved or loaded between the MOTIF XS and the computer
connected to the same network. Call up the Network display (page 260) in the Utility mode.
