> # FC Timers

> Field | Description
> --- | ---
> R_T_TOV | The desired state of the FxPort. A management station may place the FxPort in a desired state by setting this object accordingly. The testing(3) state indicates that no operational frames can be passed. When a Fabric Element initializes, all FxPorts start with fcFxPortPhysAdminStatus in the offline(2) state. As the result of either explicit management action or per configuration information accessible by the Fabric Element, fcFxPortPhysAdminStatus is then changed to either the online(1) or testing(3) states, or remains in the offline state.
> R_A_TOV | The Resource_Allocation_Timeout Value used for FxPorts as the timeout value for determining when to reuse an NxPort resource such as a Recovery_Qualifier. It represents E_D_TOV plus twice the maximum time that a frame may be delayed within the Fabric and still be delivered. Note that all switches in a fabric should be configured with the same value of this timeout.
> E_D_TOV | The E_D_TOV value configured for the FxPort. The Error_Detect_Timeout Value is used as the timeout value for detecting an error condition.
