Director
An intelligent Fibre Channel switching device providing any-to-any port connectivity
between nodes (end devices) on a switched fabric. The Director sends data transmissions
(data frames) between nodes in accordance with the address information present in the
frame headers of those transmissions.
DNS name
Domain name system or domain name service. Host or node name for a device or
managed product that is translated to an IP address through a domain name server.
domain ID
Number (1 through 31) that uniquely identifies a switch in a multi-switch fabric. A distinct
domain ID is automatically allocated to each switch in the fabric by the principal switch.
E_Port
See expansion port.
port card map
Map showing numbers assigned to each port card by card slot.
Product Manager
Application that implements the management user interface for the Director.
E_D_TOV

Embedded Web Server
Administrators or operators with a browser-capable PC and an Internet connection can
monitor and manage the Director through an embedded Web server interface. The
interface provides a GUI similar to the Product Manager application, and supports
Director configuration, statistics monitoring, and basic operation.
error detect time out value
E_D_TOV defines the time the switch waits for an expected response before declaring an
error condition.
