E E-Port: A Fabric expansion port that connects to another E_Port to create an
Inter-Switch Link.
E-PortE-Port is selected when testing an connection port between the fibre channel
switches. Touching ELPELP button exchanges Exchange Link Parameters with an
E-port.

Select the EnableEnable check box to allow the flow control when 'Topology' is set to
Point to PointPoint to Point.
If you are not logged in, touch Remote creditRemote credit field to set the buffer size of the
flow control.
The field name changes to Local creditLocal credit when you login.
Local creditLocal credit: Network Master side BB Credit Count
Remote creditRemote credit: BB Credit Count of DUT (the opponent that Network Master
communicate with)
Even if a sufficient number of credits are set, the phenomena that transmitting rate does
not reach 100% may occur when the traffic is being received.
When selecting the DefaultDefault check box, Port WWN (World Wide Number) will be
set automatically. When TopologyTopology is set to Point to PointPoint to Point, set the Source
Identifier in the frame header by touching the IDID field.
Touch Port LoginPort Login to establish the communication with the destination.
Source settings are not used in the FC Reflector application.
Set the destination Port WWNPort WWN. When 'Topology' is set to Point to PointPoint to Point, set the
Destination Identifier in the frame header by touching the IDID field.
Touch the Port LoginPort Login to establish the connection with the destination.
Destination setting is not used in FC Reflector.
Set the FramingFraming type of frames to reflect. Using Point to PointPoint to Point with login or
FabricFabric requires a header in the frames.
Frame Setup setting is not used in FC BERT.
In Fibre Channel Reflector mode you should activate connection to a FC Switch, after
you have selected framing as SOF:Header:Data:CRC:EOFSOF:Header:Data:CRC:EOF. If activating connection to a
FC Switch when framing is set to SOF:Data:EOFSOF:Data:EOF, all frames outputted from the FC
Switch are reflected to it. This phenomenon may cause malfunction of the FC Switches
on the connected port.
