1. This chapter covers a few points on how to use the adapter once it is installed in your computer system Connecting Devices There are two ways to connect 1394 FireWire devices to the host adapter Devices can connect in serial in a daisy chain or through a repeater connected to one of the adapter ports 1394 Cabling The 1394 standard has a maximum connection cable length of 4 5 meters 15 feet This means this is the maximum distance between devices lf you need to connect two devices more than 4 5 meters apart you can use a repeater to extend the cable length between the devices Cable Types There are two types of 1394 FireWire cable One type 6 pin to 6 pin supplies power to the device it connects to The other type is 6 pin to 4 pin for devices that are self powered and do not require power from the 1394 FireWire bus lf you connect devices in a daisy chain and any device needs power from the cabling all cabling must be 6 pin to 6 pin If you use a repeater you can use either type Power Considerations The 1394 FireWire bus provides limited electrical power through the connector cables as noted above Some devices will have their own power supplies Other devices may need more power than is available from the bus and can be powered from a powered repeater Make sure to check the power requirements of any devices you plan to use before you connect them Consult the device documentation for this information and the2. 10914 PCI 32 bit P amp P Agere IEEE 1394 3 1 Ports PCI Host User Manual SE Contents 1 0 What is IEEE1394 cece ec rr eee eee e ees Pi 2 0 1394 Features ccc ccc cece cece ee cee eee rrenen ennn Piz 3 0 PC System Requirements ccc cee ce eee eee eee es P 2 4 0 Technical Information 2 ccc cee ccc cee eee ee eee anes P 3 5 0 Hardware Installation 2 PA 6 0 Software Installation ccc cece eee cee eee ees P 3 7 0 How to use the Adapter ccccecee cece ee eeeeeeees P 6 8 0 Troubleshooting leak 1394 Fire Wire User s Manual 1 0 What is IEEE 1394 The 1394 standard was defined and continues to be maintained by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc IEEE The technology allows for high speed connections between computers and related devices and helps bridge the divide between computers and consumer electronics The technology is flexible easy to use and offers high bandwidth at a low cost With 1394 compatible products and systems users can transfer video or still images from a camera or camcorder to a printer PC or television quickly with no image degradation 2 0 1394 Features The 1394 standard is a high speed serial bus designed to deliver high data transfer speeds at a low cost and with the low degree of latency required by a peripheral bus or by a backup to a traditional parallel bus Among its key features are e High Speed
3. Speeds of 100 200 and 400 megabits per second Mbps are currently supported isochronous Support Deterministic bandwidth allocation guarantees bandwidth for time sensitive applications such as real time video feeds that could otherwise be disrupted by heavy bus traffic e Flexible Topology Devices can be daisy chained and no central bus Supervision is required Hot Plug Support The bus is dynamically reconfigured whenever new nodes are added which means users don t have to configure node IDs or unique termination schemes e Cable Power Low cost peripherals can be powered directly from the 1394 cable SO no dedicated power supply is needed e Open IEEE Standard IEEE adoption has increased industry acceptance of the standard e Optimum Performance Each cable connection can be up to 4 5 meters long yielding a total cable distance of 72 meters 1394 End devices IEEE 1394 interfaces have already been incorporated into a variety of devices including PC cameras DV camcorders DV recorders digital still cameras high speed hard disk drives CD ROM drives DVD ROM drives DVD RAM drives digital TVs set top boxes scanners and printers 3 0 PC System Requirements 1 A Pentium based PC recommended with one free PCI PCMCIA slot 2 Windows 98 SE Windows ME Windows 2000 and Windows XP 3 Any 1394 device that complies with either the 1394 1995 or 1394 a specification and does not use more than 1 5 A 4 0 Technical Inf
