Domain Validation is part of the SCSI standard. It describes how to negotiate the best possible transfer agreement between two devices. There are three different messages that can be sent:
- SDTR (Synchronous Data Transfer Request)
- WDTR (Wide Data Transfer Request)
- PPR (Parallel Protocol Request)
WDTR is used only to negotiate width (8 or 16 bit).
SDTR can be used to negotiate up to Ultra-2 speeds.
PPR subsumes the capabilities of both WDTR and SDTR and can negotiate speeds of up to Ultra-640. It can also set various parameters, such as Information Units, Quick Arbitration Select and Double Transition clocking.
Famous quotes containing the word domain:
“Every sign is subject to the criteria of ideological evaluation.... The domain of ideology coincides with the domain of signs. They equate with one another. Wherever a sign is present, ideology is present, too. Everything ideological possesses semiotic value.”
—V.N. (Valintin Nikolaevic)
