Configuring system services

You can enable or disable FCP read link status (RLS) probing for F_Ports and FL_Ports. It is
disabled by default.

To configure system services, perform the following steps.

Send Fan Frames

Select this check box to specify that fabric address notification (FAN)
frames are sent to public loop devices to notify them of their node ID
and address.

Always Send RSCN

Following the completion of loop initialization, a remote state change
notification (RSCN) is issued when FL_Ports detect the presence of
new devices or the absence of pre-existing devices. Select this check
box to issue an RSCN upon completion of loop initialization, regardless
of the presence or absence of new or pre-existing devices.
