BUS POWER NOTES
Bus Power
Konnekt 24D and Konnekt 8 are able to work with
FireWire bus-power. With FireWire bus-power the device
is powered directly from the FireWire connection and you
do therefore not need to use the external power supply
(included with Konnekt).
There are a few things to be aware of regarding bus
power:
4-pin FireWire connectors
Please beware that not all FireWire ports are able to
provide bus power at all. Some laptop computers carry 4
pin connectors. These do not provide bus power.
Several Konnekts on a single FireWire bus
If you run more than one Konnekt device on a FireWire
bus, only one of them can be bus-powered; the others
require power from the supplied external power supply.
Insufficient bus-power
Some laptop computers, even those with 6-pin
connectors, do not provide enough bus-power for a
single Konnekt unit to run properly. If you experience any
problems, please use the provided external power supply
as the first effort to solve the problems.
