Installation
There are two FireWire Cat5 transceivers in the package. Either can work as
sender or receiver.
1.) Connect FireWire Cat5 Extender to the host system with an IEEE1394b
(9pin) cable. Note: if you’re using a desktop PC or any Mac, you’ll probably
need to use the 9pin to 6pin included in the package. However, if you’re
using a laptop, such as an HP Presario, or Dell Inspiron, you’ll need to use a
9pin to 4pin cable.
2.) Plug the power adapter into the Extender at the device side. (The only time
you’ll need one plugged into the unit near your computer, is if your
computer doesn’t supply any power, such as with a PC Laptop)
3.) Connect the Cat5e/Cat6 cable, along with the RJ45 crossover adapter, in
between the two transceivers.
4.) Connect the other transceiver (the one on the device side) to the device
itself with an appropriate cable. (Note: this unit also has a 9pin FireWire
connector, so you’ll need one of the following cables: 9pin to 9pin, 9pin to
6pin, or 9pin to 4pin.)
5.) After all is connected and powered up, you should see a solid green light on
the transceivers. This means that you have good connectivity between the
units, and your unit should function as normal.
