  • Link - Link reset. Reset of FC link.
  • Sync - Loss of synchronization. A fibre channel device was unable to decode the transmitted signal.
  • Signal - Loss of signal. A fibre channel device was unable to receive any signal.

  • ITW - Invalid Transmission Word. A fibre channel receiver has received an encoded word 8b/10b that is not valid.
  • CRC - Cyclic Redundancy Check. The CRC value for the fibre channel frame does not match the frame which means the frame is corrupt and must be re-sent.

Quiet
Represents the quiet time in between messages. This enables the administrator to spread out messages, to avoid bottlenecks.
