Data Transfer Rate
is the amount of digital data that is moved from one place to another in a given time.
Interface Type
USB (Universal Serial Bus) is a plug-and-play interface between a computer and add-on devices (such as audio players, joysticks, keyboards, telephones, scanners, and printers). With USB, a new device can be added to your computer without having toadd an adapter card or even having to turn the computer off. The USB peripheral bus standard was developed by Compaq, IBM, DEC, Intel, Microsoft, NEC, and Northern Telecom.
Firewire(IEEE 1394) High Performance Serial Bus, is an electronics standard for connecting devices to your personal computer. IEEE 1394 provides asingleplug-and-socket connection on which up to 63 devices can be attached with data transfer speeds up to 400 Mbps (megabits per second). The standard describes a serial bus or pathway between one or more peripheral devices and your computer's microprocessor.Many peripheral devices now come equipped to meet IEEE 1394. Two popular implementations of IEEE 1394 are Apple's FireWire and Sony's i.LINK.
Parallel A multi-line channel that transfers one or more bytes simultaneously. Desktops and laptops generally connect printers. Using a Centronics parallel interface.
IEEE 1284 an enhanced parallel port that is compatible with the Centronics port commonly used onPCs. allowing the componets of multifunction devices such as printers, scanner, and fax mechines the ability to be addressed independently.
RJ-45 (Registered Jack-45) A telephone connector that contains up to 8 wires.. RJ-45 plugs are used inEthernet and Token Ring Type 3 devices.
Status Indicators
Indicators that indicate the status of a network connection. Usually in the form of LED lights and/or software..

In what kinds of products can I expect to find Bluetooth wireless technology?
Bluetooth wireless technology is unique in its breadth of applications. Links can be established between groups of products simultaneously or between individual products and the Internet. This flexibility, combined with strict interoperability requirements, has led to support for Bluetooth wireless technology from a wide range of market segments, including software developers, silicon vendors, peripheral and camera manufacturers, mobile PC manufacturers and handheld device developers, consumer electronics manufacturers, car manufacturers, and test and measurement equipment manufacturers.
