■ When the port mode is "Initiator"
• Port
Select the target port or select the copy source port.
The selectable port locations are displayed as options:
- CM#x CA#y Port#z (x: CM number, y: CA number, z: Port number)
• Connection
Select the connection topology for the target port from the "Fabric" or "FC-AL".
When "FC-AL" is selected, it is necessary to assign a Loop ID to the port.
- Fabric
A connection type that enables simultaneous communication among multiple nodes through a
Fibre Channel switch. This connection type can also be used for a direct connection when
"Transfer Rate" is "16 Gbit/s".
- FC-AL
A connection type that connects multiple nodes in a loop.
This connection type is used for a direct connection when "Transfer Rate" is 8Gbit/s or less.
• Set Loop ID
When "Connection" is "FC-AL", select "Manual" or "Auto" as the specification method for the Loop ID.
"Loop ID" is an identification number of a node in a loop.
• Loop ID
- Manual
When "Set Loop ID" is "Manual", enter the Loop ID.
The Loop ID must have a value that is different from the values of all the ports.
The following input condition applies:
• 0x0 - 0x7D
- Auto
When the "Set Loop ID" is "Auto", select "Ascending" or "Descending".
• Transfer Rate
Select the transfer speed for the target port. The available transfer rate varies according to the
selected port type and connection topology.
- Auto-negotiation
- 1 Gbit/s (Not supported)
- 2 Gbit/s (Not supported when "Type" is "16G FC")
- 4 Gbit/s
- 8 Gbit/s
- 16 Gbit/s (Not supported when "Type" is "8G FC" or when "Type" is "16G FC" and "Connection" is
"FC-AL")
Select "Fabric" for a direct connection when "Transfer Rate" is "16 Gbit/s".
• Select "Auto-negotiation", "2 Gbit/s", "4 Gbit/s", "8 Gbit/s", or "16 Gbit/s" for "Transfer Rate". Note
that "1 Gbit/s" is not supported.
• "Auto-negotiation" is selected for "Transfer Rate" when "Type" is "16G FC", "Transfer Rate" is "16
Gbit/s", and "Connection" is changed from "Fabric" to "FC-AL".
