I am still wondering if the usage method of SBP-2
logical units(and "unit"s) in the printer profile
matches with the meaning of logical units
described in SBP-2.
In the SBP-2 spec, it says ;
"A logical unit is part of the unit architecture and is
an instance of a device model e.g., mass storage,
CD-ROM or printer"
In section 17:Model Configuration of document 0.1d -PWG
printer profile, it says ;
"Each unique combination of the above information represents
a unique service provided by the device and is identified as a
separate Unit within the device. Zero or more instances of
a unit may exist within the device at any given time.
All instances of a unit have identical functionality."
It may be my lack of mis-understanding, but doesn't the
2 statements conflict ?
SBP-2 considers logical units as instances of "device" models
whereas the printer profile considers logical units as instances
of a "logical channels".
If there is 1 instance of a printer device with multiple
SBP-2 logical channels, how do I address this device as a
unit architecture following both rules ?
1 "printer" unit with 2 logical unit directories?...
but then,a logical unit has to be "an instance" of a
device model,so there should be only 1 logical unit ????
