The IBM Fiber Channel Hub is a 7-port central interconnection for Fiber Channel Arbitrated Loops that follow the ANSI FC-AL standard. Each Fiber Channel Hub port receives serial data from an attached node and retransmits the data out of the next hub port to the next node attached in the loop. Each reception includes data regeneration (both signal timing and amplitude) supporting full-distance optical links. The Fiber Channel Hub detects any loop node that is missing or is inoperative and automatically routes the data to the next operational port and attached node in the loop. LED indicators provide status information to indicate whether the port is active or bypassed. Each port requires a Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC) to connect it to each attached node. The Fiber Channel Hub supports any combination of short-wave or long-wave optical GBICs. The GBICs are hot-pluggable into the Fiber Channel Hub, which means you can add host computers, servers, and storage modules to the arbitrated loop dynamically without powering off the Fiber Channel Hub or any connected devices. If you remove a GBIC from a Fiber Channel Hub port, that port is automatically bypassed. The remaining hub ports continue to operate normally with no degradation of system performance. Conversely, if you plug a GBIC into the Fiber Channel Hub, it will automatically be inserted and become a node on the loop if valid Fiber Channel data is received from the device. Data transfer within the Fiber Channel Hub is implemented in serial differential Positive Emitter Coupled Logic (PECL) AC coupled logic. Each Fiber Channel Hub port monitors the serial data input stream as well as the GBIC connected to it.
