Notes:
a) Ordered Sets is mainly used for control of port circuit.
b) FC-4 Device Data is used for implementation SCSI protocol.
c) Link Data is used for transmission and response for port control data.
Figure 1.4 Data category on the loop
1.2.1 Ordered sets (refer to FC-PH, section 11.4)
There are three kind of Ordered Sets.
(1) –Primitive signals
(2) –Frame delimiters
(3) –Primitive sequence
which consist of four 10 bit character combination.
Each ordered set has string of data shown in Figure 1.5.
