T10/07-469r7 (iADT) Posted

I have posted the latest revision of the iADT proposal (http://www.t10.org/ftp/t10/document.07/07-469r7.pdf). The changes include:

Moved connection definitions into separate subclause from electrical characteristics.
Reorganized conventions subclauses to match SAM-4 and added a conventions subclause for ladder diagrams.
Revised ladder diagrams. (For connection establishment, used a single diagram with optional inter-device communication, rather than different diagrams for ADT serial and iADT ports as the working group had

ecommended.)
Changed terminology from ADT TCP interconnect port to iADT interconnect port.
Changed RS-422 references to match the actual number of the document (ANSI/EIA/TIA-422-B-1994).
Defined that deassertion of the Sense_a or Sense_d connection may invoke the Closed service indication and added a reason argument to Closed.

See T10/08-301r0 for a change to ADC-3 indicating that I_T nexus loss by bridging manager may be decoupled from command processing by local SMC device server.

Members of the ADI working group are requested to read the document carefully so that we might be able to wrap this up in the 13 July teleconference.

Thanks very much,

Paul
