Connecting an IEEE 1394B Device(Optional)Your computer may come with an IEEE 1394B port for connecting IEEE 1394Bdevices.IEEE 1394B is the next-generation serial bus standard, featuring high-speeddata transfer that doubles the throughput of the original IEEE 1394Ainterface (from 400 Mbit/sec to 800 Mbit/sec) and dramatically increases themaximum distance of connections (up to 15 feet away, while a FireWire 800optical repeater will connect devices up to 1000 meters (3300 feet) away). Itallows connection of up to 63 devices. The applications include mass storagedevice, digital video (DV) camcorder, or a digital audio device.To connect an IEEE 1394B device, prepare an IEEE 1394B cable. Plug theappropriate end of the cable to the computer’s IEEE 1394B connector andthe other end to the device’s corresponding connector.
