EMC Connectrix B Series DS-8B3 and DS-16B3 Hardware Reference Manual
Error detect time-out value. The minimum amount of time a target
waits for a sequence to complete before initiating recovery. Can also
be defined as the maximum time allowed for a round-trip
transmission before an error condition is declared. See also
R_A_TOV.
End-to-end credit. The number of receive buffers allocated by a
recipient port to an originating port. Used by Class 1 and 2 services to
manage the exchange of frames across the fabric between source and
destination. See also End-to-End Flow Control and BB_Credit.
The currently enabled configuration of zones. Only one configuration
can be enabled at a time. See also Defined Zone Configuration and Zone
Configuration.
A storage rack that meets the standards set by the Electronics
Industry Association.
Exchange link parameters.
Extended link service. ELSs are sent to the destination N_Port to
perform the requested function or service. ELS is a Fibre Channel
standard that is sometimes referred to as "Fibre Channel Physical
(FC_PH) ELS."
An embedded port (or domain controller) communicates and get
updates from other switches' embedded ports. The well-known
address is fffcdd, where dd = domain number.
Electromagnetic interference.
A brand of host bus adapter.
Governs flow of Class 1 and 2 frames between N_Ports. See also
EE_Credit.
End of frame. A group of ordered sets used to mark the end of a
frame.
Expansion port. A type of switch port that can be connected to an
E_Port on another switch to create an ISL. See also ISL.
As applies to Fibre Channel, a missing or corrupted frame, time-out,
loss of synchronization, or loss of signal (link errors).
