WMS100 Topologies
1
Loop
2
Point-to-Point
Note:
TagmaStore USP is an abbreviation for Universal Storage Platform, and it is a higher-level
model in the TagmaStore series.
When connecting the WMS100 directly to the host, the Loop topology is set to the port.
The port that the Point-to-Point topology has been set to cannot be connected directly
to the host, TagmaStore USP or 9900V.
When connecting the WMS100 to the Switch, the Point-to-Point topology is set to the port.
The port that the Loop topology has been set to cannot be connected to the Switch.
