5.1 Powering the FireWire® Devices
Each FireWire® device can derive its power in one of two ways:
•
Independently, by connecting each FireWire® device to its own power
supply, while the
VS-40FW
is connected to the external 12V DC
power supply (provided with the
VS-40FW
)
•
Via the
VS-40FW
that is connected to an external 12V DC power. In
this case, each of the four FireWire® devices can derive their power
(up to 1A per port) from the respective
VS-40FW
FireWire® port
