PX-712UF Installation and Users Manual
Switching Between USB and IEEE 1394
Interfaces
You can connect any or all of the interface cables (USB, IEEE 1394
4-pin, and IEEE 1394 6-pin) and switch between them. You can even
have different cables attached at the same time, allowing more than one
computer to share the PX-712UF.
To switch between interfaces attached to the PX-712UF:
1. Ensure the interface cable for the desired USB or IEEE 1394
interface is attached to the PX-712UF and to the computer.
2. At the rear of the PX-712UF, set the interface switch to the desired
interface.
3. Cycle the PX-712UF power. (That is, turn the PX-712UF’s power
switch off, then on again.)
If You’re Using FireWire
If you are using FireWire (IEEE 1394), remember these hints for better
operation:
•
Do not daisy-chain the PX-712UF with other FireWire devices.
•
The PX-712UF is not bus powered—that is, it doesn’t get its power
from the IEEE 1394 cable—so you have to use the bundled AC
adapter.
