Examples of OCF configurations

OCF host-to-host configurations

In the following, examples 1 and 2 show host-to-host configurations. The first example shows the recommended configuration. Both examples establish OCF communication within the started task of a product.

Both examples show two online (TSO or Beta VDF) users who can access the subsystems of a specific Beta product (e.g. B93A/ B93P and B92A/B92B) in the OCF network. The recommended configuration between subsystems of the same product is a master-slave connection.
