Glossary protective plug protocol public device public loop pull-down menu standardized architectures, which allow them to mix and match products from different manufacturers. In a fiber-optic environment, a type of duplex connector (or cover) that provides physical protection (D). Contrast with loopback plug. (1) Set of semantic and syntactic rules that determines the behavior of functional units in achieving communication. (2) In systems network architecture, the meanings of and sequencing rules for requests and responses for managing the network, transferring data, and synchronizing network component states. (3) A specification for the format and relative timing of data exchanged between communicating devices (D, I). A loop device that can transmit a fabric login command (FLOGI) to a switch, receive acknowledgement from the switch's login server, register with the switch's name server, and communicate with fabric-attached devices. Public devices communicate with fabric-attached devices through the switch's bridge port (B_Port) connection to a director or switch. Contrast with private device. A public loop is connected to a switched fabric (through the switch bridge port (B_Port)), and the switch has an active embedded fabric loop port (FL_Port) that is user transparent. All devices attached to the loop can communicate with each other, and public devices attached to the loop can communicate with fabric-attached devices. Contrast with private loop. See drop-down menu. R RAID RAM random access memory See redundant array of independent disks. See random access memory. RAM. A group of computer memory locations that is numerically identified to allow high-speed access by the controlling microprocessor. A memory location is randomly accessed by referring to its numerical identifier (D). Contrast with read-only memory.
