When the port mode is "RA"
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 the "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".
