Channel Wrap (FICON mode only) — Allows a channel wrap test
to be initiated from an attached host or device. In this test, frames
are sent to the switch port, then the switch echos the frames to the
sending device to test the channel. The switch remains in channel
wrap mode until the option is disabled. While in channel wrap
mode, the port can accept only echo commands from the host,
and appears to be blocked to all other communication. If the
checkbox is checked, channel wrap is enabled. Click the checkbox
to add or remove a checkmark.
