Thank you for purchasing the IEEE 1394/FireWire 4-Port Hub
with Open Host Controller Interface (OHCI) compliance! Please
read this manual thoroughly prior to installing. This will prevent
damage to the IEEE 1394/FireWire 4-Port Hub and/or
connected devices, and enable their efficient functioning. The
IEEE 1394/FireWire 4-Port Hub with OHCI compliance operates
on all computer platforms, including Windows
®
98 PC and
Macintosh
®
OS 8.6 or higher.
The Belkin IEEE 1394/FireWire 4-Port Hub is a full-featured hub
that provides the user with four peer-to-peer ports. It supports
400Mbps throughput from DV camcorder, storage devices,
scanners, and printers. By late 2000, it will operate with
television displays and audio/video devices as well.
The IEEE 1394/FireWire 4-Port Hub allows users to attach
computer peripherals and OHCI compliant devices to
computers or to each other. And, all devices are hot-swappable,
meaning that the user does not have to shut down the program
or computer to attach or remove devices on the FireWire chain.
The Belkin FireWire 4-Port Hub can be either Bus- or self-
powered. The self-powered feature allows for daisy-chaining
(connection) of additional devices or hubs. To extend the length
of the FireWire Bus, just add more hubs. Connect up to 63
devices on the Bus. When connected with 6-pin connectors,
devices can receive Bus power from the host or power supply.
The Belkin FireWire 4-Port Hub includes four LEDs and a 1.8m
(6 ft.) FireWire Cable.
