While 63 devices may be connected the limitation is still that only sixteen cables can be between any two devices (for counting purposes, these connectors are called hops). G3 ReWritable i. LINK A G3 i. LINK FireWire BC D E ReWritable i. LINK F I G J H The cable ends are identical, so there is no worry about putting the right connector into an i. LINK port. Chaining Multiple i. LINK devices Most devices have two connectors so you can chain devices link to link up to 17 devices serially. However, some devices have three ports so you can also branch devices. Using the example: the printer marked E is seven hops from the keyboard marked J. Likewise the digital video camera marked B is 4 hops from the digital monitor. Each cable can be up to 4. 5 meters long (about 14 feet, 9 inches). Because maximum cable length is determined by the sixteen hop maximum the overall cable length is 16 X 4. 5m or a total of 72meters. 12 CRX145E/XI - Spressa i. LINK User's Guide CRX145E/XI - Spressa i. LINK User's Guide 13 Restrictions of IEEE 1394 You cannot violate the 63 device limitation. If an additional device is added beyond the 63 device limit none of the devices will be able to determine their position in the i. LINK chain, and so all devices will be unable to communicate. You cannot violate the sixteen hop limitation between any two devices. A device beyond the 16 hop limitation will make the amount of time it takes for the signal to complete between the two farthest devices longer than the time allowed to complete, so the devices will not be able to communicate. Another restriction of i. LINK technology is that you cannot loop connections. i. LINK Signal Types Even though different devices may be connected together, two devices may not be able to share signals. The printer and the keyboard will not be able to exchange signals, however for the G3 from the example to communicate with the printer, both the video camera and the keyboard will pass the signals through to the printer. A G3 C D B A G3 BC D E ReWritable i. LINK F GH Some devices such as computers or cards within computers will not be able to pass signals through if they are not powered on. Please consult with the owners manual for the device. 14 CRX145E/XI - Spressa i. LINK User's Guide CRX145E/XI - Spressa i.
