Fibre Channel Interface

The AMS200 subsystem supports open system operations. The AMS200 subsystem supports up
to 2 fibre-channel ports. Each AMS200 Fibre Channel interface is capable of operating at
data transfer speeds of up to 200 MB/sec. The AMS200 extends up to 4 Fibre Channel ports
by adding optional an FC interface board. The AMS200 supports shortwave multimode optical
cables. With these shortwave fibre channel cables, the AMS200 subsystem can be located up
to 300 meters from the open-system host.
4.3.1

Mini-HUB

When the FC interface board is not added to the control unit, the host interface of the
AMS200 has a Mini-HUB in the control unit, and enhances one port to two host connectors.
However, the link status between the host and AMS200 is recognized as one port.
