Glossary

Narrow SCSI A SCSI implementation that utilizes a 50- pin cable; can be single-ended or differential.

Non-OFCAn acronym for Non Open-Ended Fibre Control. This approach does not drop the laser power when a cable link is dropped. Non-OFC uses a lower power laser than an OFC system.

O

OFC An acronym for Open-Ended Fibre Control. When a cable link is dropped, the laser drops, to eliminate the potential for eye damage.

Originator A Fibre Channel term that refers to the initiating device.

P

Port The hardware entity within a node that performs data communications over the Fibre Channel link.

PPPAn acronym for Point-to- Point Protocol. A transmission path over which data is transmitted between two Fibre Channel devices.

Protocol A data transmission convention encompassing timing, control formatting, and data representation.

R

RAID Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks.

Receiver A terminal device that includes a detector and signal processing.

S
