About i.LINK Baud rate
i.LINK’s maximum baud rate varies according
to the device. There are three types.
S100 (approx. 100Mbps*)
S200 (approx. 200Mbps)
S400 (approx. 400Mbps)
The baud rate is listed under “Specifications” in
the operating instructions of each piece of
device. It is also indicated near the i.LINK
interface on some device.
The baud rate may differ from the indicated
value when the unit is connected to device with
a different maximum 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 100 Mbps means
that 100 megabits of data can be sent in one second.
