following icons appears:

 

: Ports in the Standard mode.

 

: Ports in the Initiator/External MIX mode.

 

 

PLI_TOV

The wait time (in seconds) of PLOGI to the external storage

 

system when the switch is not connected. This value is

 

automatically set by XP External Storage. You cannot

 

change the value.

 

 

FLI_TOV

The wait time (in seconds) from the switch to FLOGI when

 

the switch is connected. This value is automatically set by

 

XP External Storage. You cannot change the value.

 

 

Margin

The additional wait time (in seconds) to FLI_TOV (FLOGI

 

wait time) or PLI_TOV (PLOGI wait time). This value is

 

automatically set by XP External Storage. You cannot

 

change the value. As a result, the sum of FLI_TOV time and

 

the margin time, or the sum of PLI_TOV time and the margin

 

time is set as a total wait time.
