IEEE/ISO/IEC 8802-5-1998

For the purpose of compatible interconnection of data processing equipment via a local area network (LAN) using the token ring access method, this part of ISO/IEC 8802 a) Provides a general description of the token ring local area network (LAN) architecture (clause 2); b) Defines the frame format, including the delimiters, address fields, information field, and framecheck sequence (FCS). Defines the Medium Access Control (MAC) frames, timers, and error counters (clause 3); c) Defines the MAC protocols including finite state machines and state tables (clause 4); d) Defines the system level Physical layer (PHY) signaling specifications that are specific to a ring station (clause 5); e) Defines the managed objects necessary to manage the service and protocol elements that are involved in the management of a token ring station (clause 6); f) Defines the PHY station attachment specification for 4 and 16 Mbit/s operation. This includes the transmitter, receiver, medium interface connector, and transmission channel for both shielded twisted pair (STP) and unshielded twisted pair (UTP) media (clause 7); g) Defines the concentrator, incorporating multiple trunk coupling units (TCUs), for the attachment of a group of stations to the ring (clause 8); h) Includes the protocol implementation conformance statement (PICS) proforma in compliance with the relevant requirements, and in accordance with the relevant guidance, given in ISO/IEC 9646-2 : 19941 (annex A); i) Includes channel design examples and formulas for calculating cabling and concentrator system configurations (annex B); j) Describes jitter components and provides an example of jitter buildup using a phase lock loop recovery circuit (annex C); k) Provides informative transmitter filter design example (annex D); l) Provides recommended guidelines for safety and operating environments (annex E); m) Illustrates the MAC finite state machines in a notation similar to that used in ISO/IEC 8802-5 : 1992 (annex F); n) Describes major improvements made after the first edition of the standard (annex G); o) Provides a sample algorithm for the parsing of MAC frames (annex H); p) Provides recommendations for the use of token ring access priorities to support multimedia traffic (annex I); q) Provides bit error rate (BER) criteria for lobe media testing (annex P).



Adoption Standard - Inactive-Withdrawn. This Local and Metropolitan Area Network standard, ISO/IEC 8802-5 : 1998, is part of a family of local area network (LAN) standards dealing with the physical and data link layers as defined by the ISO/IEC Open Systems Interconnection Basic Reference Model. Its purpose is to provide compatible interconnection of data processing equipment by means of a LAN using the token-passing ring access method. The frame format, including delimiters, addressing, and priority stacks, is defined. The medium access control (MAC) protocol is defined. The finite state machine and state tables are supplemented with a prose description of the algorithms. The physical layer (PHY) functions of symbol encoding and decoding, symbol time, and latency buffering are defined. The services provided by the MAC to the station management (SMT) and the services provided by the PHY to SMT and the MAC are described. These services are defined in terms of service primitives and associated parameters. The 4 and 16 Mbit/s, shielded twisted pair attachment of the station to the medium, including the medium interface connector (MIC), is also defined. The applications environment for the LAN is intended to be commercial and light industrial. The use of token ring LANs in home and heavy industrial environments, while not precluded, has not been considered in the development of the standard. A Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS) proforma is provided as an annex to the standard.
