Status Output
This interface is used to transfer user data between the
ETD and the host. When the host transfers user data to
the ETD through this interface, the ETD encrypts and
writes the data to the magnetic media. When the host
receives user data from the ETD through this interface,
the ETD delivers data read from the magnetic media that
has been decrypted by the ETD.
On hardware version 7042136 the interface can be
configured to support one of two protocols:
1) Fibre Channel, in accordance with the Fibre Channel
Protocol-3 (FCP-3), SCSI Primary Commands-3, and
SCSI Stream Commands (SSC-3) specifications
2) FICON
