Important Considerations

■Port types can be A, B, M, or S.

■The system FDDI ports are type A or type B for Dual Attachment Station (DAS) ports and type M for Single Attachment Station (SAS) ports.

■By default, all connections to the system ports are valid. M-M connections are accepted so that one CoreBuilder® 3500 port can be connected to another system port.
