Glossary Fibre Channel arbitrated loop FC-AL. A high-speed (100 Mbps) connection which is a true loop technology where ports use arbitration to establish a point-to-point circuit. Data can be transferred in both directions simultaneously, achieving a nominal transfer rate between two devices of 200 Mbps. Fibre Channel Association FCA. The FCA is a non-profit corporation consisting of over 150 members throughout the world. Its mission is to nurture and help develop the broadest market for Fibre Channel products through market development, education, standards monitoring, and fostering interoperability among members' products. Fibre Channel fabric element FCFE. Any device linked to a fabric. Fibre Channel Industry Association FCIA. A corporation consisting of over 100 computer industry-related companies. Its goal is to provide marketing support, exhibits, and trade shows for its member companies. The FCIA complements activities of the various standards committees. Fibre Channel IP address FC IP. The default FC IP on a new switch is a temporary number divided by the switch's World Wide Name (WWN). The system administrator needs to enter a valid IP address. Fibre Channel standard American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standard that provides a common, efficient data transport system that supports multiple protocols. The architecture integrates both channel and network technologies, and provides active, intelligent interconnection among devices. All data transmission is isolated from the control protocol, allowing use of point-to-point, arbitrated loop, or switched fabric topologies to meet the needs of an application. Fibre Connection FICON. An IBM set of products and services introduced in 1999 that is based on the Fibre Channel Standard. FICON technology uses fiber-optic cables as the data transmission medium, and significantly improves I/O performance (including one Gbps bi-directional data transfer). FICON is designed to coexist with ESCON™ channels, and FICON-to-ESCON control unit connections are supported. fibre port module FPM. A 1 gigabit-per-second module that contains four generic ports (G_Ports). FICON See Fibre Connection. embedded web server user guide Glossary-15
