Connecting Multiple IEEE1394 Peripherals Together

The way of connecting multiple devices including the CRW2200IX drive to the host computer is shown below.

Connecting in a daisy-chain

A daisy-chain connection strings several IEEE1394 devices in line to one IEEE1394 connector on the host computer.

Up to 16 IEEE1394 devices can be attached.

Asingle daisy-chain can contain up to 17 devices including the host computer.

CRW2200IX

A maximum single cable length: 4.5 m

Connecting in a tree

Some host computer provides two or more IEEE1394 connectors, each IEEE1394 connector allows for the connection of multiple IEEE1394 devices.

A total of 62 IEEE1394 devices can be attached.

CRW2200IX

A maximum single cable length: 4.5 m

An entire system can contain up to

63 devices including the host computer.
