Table 3-11 EOF Delimiters
No. Name
Meanings
Remarks
1 EOFt
This delimiter indicates the Sequence associated with this SEQ_ID is
complete.
2 EOFdt This delimiter removes a Dedicated Connection through a Fabric, and also
Identifies the last ACK of a Sequence and indicates that all Class 1
Sequences associated with this S_ID are terminated.
Not supported
3 EOFn This delimiter identifies the end of frame when one of the other EOF
delimiters indicating valid frame context is not required.
4 EOFdti This delimiter replaces a recognized EOFdt delimiter on a frame with
invalid frame context.
Not supported
5 EOFni This delimiter replaces an EOFn or EOFt, indicating that the frame
context is invalid.
Not supported
6 EOFa
This delimiter terminates a partial frame due to a malfunction in a link
facility during transmission.

Primitive Signals
A Primitive Signal is a signal that has special meaning. The Table 3-12 shows
Primitive Signals.
Table 3-12 Primitive Signals
No. Name
Meaning
Remarks
1 IDLE
This Primitive Signal indicates Port is ready for frame transmission
And reception
2 R_RDY This Primitive Signal indicates the interface buffer which received the
frame is available for further frame reception
3 ARBx
This Primitive Signal transmitted on a Loop by a participating L_Port to
request access to the Loop.
4 OPNyx This Primitive Signal transmitted on a Loop by a participating L_Port to
indicate that it is ready for Data and Link Control frame transmission and
reception
5 OPNyy This Primitive Signal transmitted on a Loop by a participating L_Port to
indicate that it is ready for Data and Link Control frame transmission and
Link Control frame reception
6 OPNfr This Primitive Signal transmitted on a Loop by a participating L_Port
which desires to communicate with all participating L_Ports on the Loop
Not supported
7 OPNyr This Primitive Signal transmitted on a Loop by a participating L_Port
which desires to communicate with a subset of L_Ports on the Loop
Not supported
8 CLS
This Primitive Signal transmitted L_Port is prepared to or has
relinquished control of the Loop for the current circuit
9 MRKtx This Primitive Signal transmitted on a Loop by a master control point to
synchronize other Nodes
Not supported
