Buffer-to-Buffer Flow Control
Enable: The Enable check box is forced selected when Login is
selected. The FTB-8500 Series and FTB-8120NGE/8130NGE will send a
Received Ready (R_RDY) automatically after receiving a frame when
the Enable check box is selected.
Note: Since R_RDY are inserted between frames and have higher priority, in
certain condition they may affect the TX throughput.
Available BB_Credit is the number of frame buffers that the remote
port has available to receive frames from the local port. Available
BB_Credit is not editable when either the Enable or Enable login
check box is selected. Choices are from 1 to 65535. The default setting
is 10.
Note: After a Login process, the Available BB_Credit displays the value received
from the remote interface through the login process.
