I need help with connecting my Thomann DP-85 digital piano to MacBook Air

Hello,
I have no experience with MIDI devices, that's why I'm asking this. I would like to use my Thomann DP-85 digital piano as a MIDI device on my Macbook Air and I have issues with the connection. It appears in my device list, but it is dimmed. I use a MIDI to USB cable for connecting it. I wonder if I should use a MIDI interface. I checked the user manual and it doesn't specify anything like that or my lack of experience limits my understanding of it. Also, I didn't find any drivers which could enable me to connect it.

I would really appreciate if anyone knew the solution to this problem and were willing to help. Thanks!

I realized I connected the MIDI input and output cables incorrectly. You must connect the input of the cable to the output of the piano and vice versa. Hope it helps ☺️
