i.LINK Baud rate
i.LINK's maximum baud rate varies according to
the equipment. Three maximum baud rates are
defined:
S100 (approx. 100Mbps*)
S200 (approx. 200Mbps)
S400 (approx. 400Mbps)
The baud rate is listed under "Specifications" in
the instruction manual of each equipment. It is
also indicated near the i.LINK jack on some
equipment.
The maximum baud rate of equipment on which
it is not indicated such as this unit is "S100".
When units are connected to equipment having a
different maximum baud rate, the baud rate
sometimes differs from the indicated baud rate.
* What is "Mbps"?
Mbps stands for megabits per second, or the
amount of data that can be sent or received in
one second. For example, a baud rate of 100Mbps
means that 100 megabits of data can be sent in
one second.
