Solved: MFC PORT on the MIDI page of the I/O menu in the Axe-Fx was set to disabled.
changed to ethercon and everything synced up. nice. very nice.
Greetings Fractals,
I'm getting error message AXEFX NAME TIMEOUT! after updating my MFC-101 Mark III to firmware 3.07.
mfc recognizes update, displays fw 3.07
AxeFx XL fw is 18.01
but my ethernet doesn’t work after upgrade to 3.07.
I use a HD (heavy duty) ethercon cable for power and data to MCF.
verified connection type: use port expansion.
(i changed it from midi to expansion after the update)
MIDI unplugged after fw update. currently have ethercon cable connected.
MFC reset complete. reprogrammed all my settings, re-calibrated expression pedals. still with this error message: AXE-FX NAME TIMEOUT!
powered off AxeFx & MFC, switched ethernet cable around. rebooted axe & MFC. each device boots sequence fine, but MFC shows after booting X001 , then error message: AXE-FX NAME TIMEOUT!
lets try MIDI.
unplug the ethernet completely,
then power the mfc with the power adaptor
and then use the midi cable MFC OUT to AXE IN
set mfc to MIDI
SUCCESS!!!
MFC works as it should - AxeFx and MFC are synced
reset the mfc and ethernet still didnt’ work. but now I've switched to MIDI and the MFC works.
ok. Lets try FASLINK.
MFC switched to FASlink, save
unplugged MFC Power adapter
unplugged MIDI cable,
plugged XLR into AXEFX FASLINK & MFC FASLINK
rebooting AXEFX & MFC
MFC setup menu AxeFX Mode XL
midi mode FASlink
MFC displays "AXEFX NAME TIMEOUT!"
so, to recap...
at this point, only midi is working.
Ethernet and FASLINK are not working. Both give "AXEFX NAME TIMEOUT!" messages.
Any ideas?
