IEEE 1394 PORT
The 4-pin 1394 port allows you to connect digital
devices that are compliant with IEEE 1394 standard
(also known as “FireWire”). The IEEE 1394 standard is
easy to use, connect, and disconnect. This port allows up
to 400 Mbps transfer rate. A third-party application may
be required to operate your device with the 1394 port.
The 1394 port used in this system uses a
four-pin configuration. If you intend to
interface with devices which use a six-pin
configuration, you will need to purchase
an adapter.
The internal modem is designed to the
ITU-T V.90 standard. Its maximum
speed of 53000bps is the highest
allowed by FCC, and its actual connection rate depends on the line conditions.
Maximum speed is 33600bps at upload.
The internal modem on all LifeBook
notebooks are certified for use in the
United States and Canada. The modem
may be certified in other countries.
