Description

FC_N_Node interfaces to the device on one side and the Fibre Chanel switch on the other side. This block handles end-to-end acknowledgement for Class 1 and 2. In addition, it handles the ack between the Ingress Port of the switch and this N_Port. Make sure to connect an DeviceInterface block on the device side to handle all the routing requirements.

Current version of Fibre Channel Library requires each N_Port ID should be given as 1,2,3....16. N_Port with ID 1 should be connected to Master Device/Slave Device with name "Device_1", N_Port with ID 2 should be connected to Master Device with name "Device_2" and so on.

Data Structure Fields

N_Port requires few mandatory fields included in the A_Source, A_Destination, A_Command, A_Message (initialized with Class1, Class2 or Class3), A_Response are the required fields. These fields must be added to the incoming datastructure, typically using a Processing block or Decision block.
Example:
input.A_Source             = "Device_1"
input.A_Destination     = "Device_9"
input.A_Command        = "Read" /*"Write"*/
input.A_Message          = "Class1" /*"Class2" or "Class3" */
input.A_Response         = "false"
input.A_Bytes                 = 15000 /* Bytes */

Block Dependency

FC_N_Node Block requires FC_Config, FC_Link, FC_Switch and DeviceInterface (optional) blocks instantiated in the model.
