rerouting delay
An option that ensures that frames are delivered in order through the fabric to their destination.
remote notification
A process by which a system is able to inform remote users and/or workstations of certain
classes of events that occur on the system. E-mail notification and the configuration of SNMP
trap recipients are two examples of remote notification programs that can be implemented on
director-class switches.
remote user workstation
Workstation, such as a PC, using the HAFM and Element Manager applications, which can
access the HAFM server over a LAN connection.
resource allocation time-out value
(R_A_TOV) — User-specified value used to time out operations that depend on the maximum
possible time that a frame could be delayed in a fabric and still be delivered.
ring topology
A logically circular, unidirectional transmission path without defined ends, in which control is
distributed or centralized (D). See also
RFI
Acronym for radio frequency interface.
RFI shield
Radio frequency interface shield (S/390 mode only).
RS-232
The Electronic Industry Association (EIA)-recommended specification for asynchronous serial
interfaces between computers and communications equipment. It specifies both the number of
pins and type of connection, but does not specify the electrical signals.
SAN
See storage area network.
SANTegrity Binding
Purchase and enablement of this feature enhances security in SANs that contain a large and
mixed group of fabrics and attached devices.
SBAR
See serial crossbar
SC duplex connector
An optical fiber connector that terminates jumper cables in one housing and provides physical
attachment to a subscriber connector (SC) duplex receptacle. SC duplex connectors provide
optical port connectivity for the ED-5000 Director and ES-1000 switch. Contrast with
