First off, I am sorry, this pertains to legacy products but I really need help.
I have an Axe FX ll (Mk.1/Original)
Yesterday I bought a used MFC-101 Mk. lll
But the MFC-101 just won’t start up / boot.
My FX ll only has the Ethernet MFC plug on the back. I tried the provided Cat6. Ethernet cable - nothing. I tried 3 Cat5. cables I already had - nothing.
Talked to the owner he said it worked fine before he shipped it, but he has an XL+ and used XLR/FASlink but told me Ethernet worked too.
Do I need like a special Cat5 Ethernet or will any do? Like the ones going from my PC to Modems for internet connections, those type of Ethernet work?
I’m considering buying a 9vAC 2100mA 2.5mm female barrel connector powersupply, I can use one of these right? Then all I need is a 5-pin (both ends) midi cable going from MFC-101 Midi out to FX ll Midi in (or vice versa) and I’m good to go?
Really bummed out that my MFC-101 doesn’t power on with Ethernet cables ruined my day and probably my joy of using it once I get it powered.
Thanks for any help.
