Page 336 Loop Initialization When the array unit is turned on and becomes ready and the Arbitrated Loop is detected, the AMS200 performs the Loop Initialization process. The Loop Initialization is performed by ARBx (Arbitrate), LIP (Loop Initialization), CLS (Close), and the following Loop Initialization frames: LISM: Select Master based on 8-byte Port_Name.
Page 337 When the AMS200 does not become a Loop Master, the transmission of LIFA, LIHA, LISA, LIRP, and LILP are initiated by the Loop Master. The AMS200 receives bit map information, and may add own AL_PA, and transmits it to the next L_Port. At the end of the Loop Initialization, the subsystem receives and transmits CLS.
