IEEE/ISO/IEC 8802-9-1996

The scope of this International Standard is to — Develop an ISLAN interface at the medium access control (MAC) sublayer and the Physical (PHY) Layer compatible with IEEE 802.x1 and ISDN standards and architectures — Develop an ISLAN interface that operates independently from the backbone network — Focus upon unshielded twisted-pair wiring as the primary distribution medium — Enable implementation of IS terminal equipment (ISTE) that accesses IEEE 802 LAN and ISDN services through a common interface

The body of this International Standard — Defines the service provided by the MAC sublayer to the IEEE 802 Logical Link Control (LLC) sublayer and management, and describes the services provided by the PHY Layer to the MAC sublayer and management in terms of service primitives and associated parameters — Describes the services provided by the Physical Layer (PHY MUX) to support a basic rate interface (BRI) ISDN in terms of service primitives and associated parameters — Describes the services provided by the PHY MUX to the isochronous channels — Specifies the MAC functions that allow ISTEs access to one another and to LANs providing IEEE 802 services and/or ISDN services — Specifies the frame format for the MAC frame — Defines the MAC protocol — Specifies the channel structure and frame format of the time division multiplexed (TDM) frame

New IEEE Standard - Inactive-Withdrawn. A unified access method that offers integrated services (IS) to the desktop for a variety of publicly and privately administered backbone networks (e.g., ANSI FDDI, IEEE 802.x and ISDN) is defined. In addition, the interface at the MAC sublayer and the PHY Layer is specified.
