Overview
In contrast to the traditional ISA bus, which does not offer the speed and connectivity required for today’s mass storage and large data transfer needs, the IEEE 1394 interface is valued for its ease of use, high speed data throughput, and the ability to chain up to 63 interface compliant devices.
The FH-300 IEEE 1394 Hub provides three 1394a compliant ports that support data transfer rates of 100, 200, and 400 Mbps (megabits per second), and automatically switch to the highest speed that the peripheral supports.
IEEE 1394 peripherals connect up externally; simply by plugging in cables. Configuration is automatic - there is no need to specify memory addresses, IRQ assignments, device IDs, or to plug in terminators. IEEE 1394-compli- ant peripherals are Hot Pluggable (devices can be added and removed without having to shut the computer down).
The fastest growing use of IEEE 1394 is in the realm of digital video (DV) devices. The digital format provides precise audio and video capabilities that are more directly compatible with a computer than the older generation of analog video devices.
Another aspect of IEEE 1394 is that it provides the physical structure for hassle free, inexpensive, plug and play networking - perfect for the SOHO environment.

1.Status LED
Lights to indicate that the Hub is receiving power and is ready to operate.
2.Power Jack
Ordinarily, the hub gets its power from the computer via the IEEE 1394 cable. If you choose to use an external power adapter (not supplied - requires a separate purchase), its cable plugs in here.
Note: The adapter’s specs are: DC 9V 300mA. The outside of the plug must be negative; the inside of the plug must be positive. The plug’s outside diameter: 5.5 mm; inside diameter: 2.1 mm.
3.IEEE 1394 Port
The IEEE 1394 cable (supplied with this package), that connects the Hub to the computer plugs in here.
Installation
Connecting the Hub to the Computer
With your computer booted up:
1.If you choose to use an (optional) external power adapter, plug the adapter into an AC source; plug the power adapater cable into the Hub’s Power Jack.
2.Plug one end of the IEEE 1394 cable that came with this package into the hub, then plug the other end of the cable into your computer’s IEEE 1394 port.
Connecting the Peripherals to the Hub
Simply plug the cable from the peripheral into any available port on the hub.
Note: On a Windows system, the first time you connect a peripheral to the system, the Windows New Hardware installation program comes up to install the proper hardware and software drivers for it. Follow the instructions in the User Manual that came with your peripheral to complete this process.
