A program used to connect and communicate with stations in a network, enabling users to
perform application-oriented activities (I).
arbitrated loop
One of the three connection topologies offered by Fibre Channel protocol. Up to 126 node
ports and one fabric port can communicate without the need for a separate switched fabric. See
also

(point-to-point).
arbitrated loop physical address
AL_PA. A 1-byte value used in the arbitrated loop topology that identifies loop ports
(L_Ports). This value then becomes the last byte of the address identified for each public
L_Port on the loop.
arbitration
Process of selecting one device from a collection of devices that request service
simultaneously.

attribute
In S/390 mode, the connection status of the address on a configuration matrix: allowed,
blocked, or prohibited.
backup field-replaceable unit
Backup FRU. When an active FRU fails, an identical backup FRU takes over operation
automatically (failover) to maintain Director or Switch and Fibre Channel link operation. See

beaconing
Use of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) on ports, port cards, field-replaceable units (FRUs), and
Directors to aid in the fault-isolation process. When enabled, active beaconing will cause
LEDs to flash in order for the user to locate field-replaceable units (FRU’s), switches, or
Directors in cabinets or computer rooms.
