5.2 Using the LAN Port
This mini EPC is equipped with an internal 10B /100/1000Base-T
Gigabit Ethernet LAN module that connects your mini EPC to other
mini EPC/networks through a local area network (LAN) and supports
data transfer rates at 10/100Mbps and can be up to 1000Mbps. The
100Base-TX is called Fast Ethernet.
To meet higher bandwidth demand, this mini EPC has upgraded Fast
Ethernet to Gigabit Ethernet. The network becomes more efficient
while downloading movies, music or other multimedia files.
The built-in Gigabit Ethernet LAN module provides a standard RJ-45
connector.
5.3 Using the IEEE 1394 Port
IEEE 1394, also known as FireWire, is a high-bandwidth serial bus
developed by Apple and Texas Instruments. IEEE 1394 supports
100, 200, and 400 Mbps (Megabit per second) transfer rates and is
widely used for downing video from digital camcorders to the mini
EPC. In addition to its high speed, IEEE 1394 enables isochronous
(real-time) data transfer. This makes it ideal for devices that transfer
high-bandwidth of data in real-time, such as video devices. It
supports both Plug-and-Play and hot plugging, and also allows for
the connection of up to 63 devices.
With built-in IEEE 1394 port, this mini EPC enables the peripheral
devices in transmitting digital video data or data backup. The
Windows system will automatically recognize it after installing a
suitable driver for it. Please visit Microsoft's web site for more
