INSTALLING THE TRAVELER HARDWARE
24
DC power supply
If you do not want the Traveler to draw power from
the computer, and AC power is available, you can
power the Traveler from any standard 8-18 volt,
12 watt DC power supply with any polarity (tip
positive or negative), and amperage as shown
below. To prevent the Traveler from drawing power
from the computer, turn off the Bus Power switch.
The Bus Power Enable/Disable switch
The Bus Power Enable/Disable switch on the side
panel of the Traveler lets you control whether or
not the Traveler draws power from the computer
via FireWire.
For example, when battery or DC power supply
options are not being used, and FireWire is the
only available power source, turn on the Bus Power
switch.
If you are powering the Traveler via battery or DC
power supply, and you do not want it to draw
power from the computer (perhaps because it is a
laptop running under its own battery, and you
don’t want the Traveler to run down the laptop’s
battery unnecessarily), turn off the Bus Power
switch.
Voltage Amperage
