Using the TO HOST connector to connect the
AW2816 and your computer
Here’s how to use the AW2816’s TO HOST connector
to make connections to your computer.
Making connections
Use a separately sold cable to connect the AW2816’s
TO HOST connector to the serial port of your com-
puter. Using the TO HOST connector allows MIDI
messages to be simultaneously transmitted and
received over a single cable.
It is not possible to use the AW2816’s TO HOST con-
nector to make connections to some Macintosh com-
puters that do not have a modem/printer port. If you
are using this type of computer, make connections
using the MIDI connectors.
Enabling the TO HOST connector
Change the internal settings so that the AW2816 will
use the TO HOST connector to transmit and receive
MIDI.

nector as appropriate for the type of computer
