the location of the Ethernet port. Ethernet port LED definition:
Activity - Port activity
Link - Valid Ethernet link
Fibre Channel Port
One Fibre Channel port with LED indicators is included in the router. See
Figure 1 for the location of the Fibre Channel port. Fibre Channel LED definition:
Green (ACT) - Fibre Channel port activity
Green (LINK) - Valid Fibre Channel link
SCSI Buses
Two SCSI buses with LED indicators are included in the router. See Figure 1 for
the location of the SCSI buses. SCSI bus LED definition:
Green - SCSI bus activity on corresponding port

Introduction
20 Network Storage Router e1200-160
Functional Overview
The router translates the Fibre Channel Protocol (FCP) to and from the SCSI
Protocol. It transfers commands, data, and status information to and from Fibre
Channel controllers and SCSI devices.
Supported devices include:
■Initiator Devices – Fibre Channel and SCSI hosts
■Direct Access Devices – RAID Controllers, disk drives, JBODs
■Sequential Access Devices – Tape drives
■Changer Devices – Tape and Magneto-Optical Libraries
The router provides multiple Fibre Channel to SCSI I/O configurations.
A sample configuration is illustrated in Figure 2.
