Review of Australian Standards. To keep abreast of progress in industry, Australian Standards are subject
to periodic review and are kept up to date by the issue of amendments or new editi ons as necessary. It is
important therefore that Standards users ensure that they are in possession of the latest edit ion, and any
amendments thereto.
Full detail s of all Australi an Standards and related publications wil l be found in the Standards Australia
Catalogue of Publications; this information is supplemented each month by the magazine ‘The Australi an
Standard’, which subscribing members receive, and which gives details of new publications, new editi ons
and amendments, and of withdrawn Standards.
Suggesti ons for improvements to Australi an Standards, addressed to the head off ice of Standards Australia,
are welcomed. Noti fi cati on of any inaccuracy or ambiguity found in an Australi an Standard should be made
without delay in order that the matter may be investigated and appropriate action taken.

PREFACE

This Standard was prepared by the Standards Australia Committee on Information Systems—
Interconnection. It is identical with, and has been reproduced from, ISO/IEC 8802-4:1990, Information
processing systems—Local area networks, Part 4: Token-passing bus access method and physical layer
specifications.
The Standard is one of a series of Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Standards which are currently
under development. Since OSI Standards are developmental, there may be some minor difficulties
encountered in their implementation. For this reason, Standards Australia will be providing, through
the OSI Help Desk, a service to coordinate and disseminate information concerning difficulties which
are identified in using this Standard.
Under arrangements made between Standards Australia and the international Standards bodies, ISO
and IEC, as well as certain other Standards organizations, users of this Australian Standard are advised
of the following:
(a) Copyright is vested in Standards Australia.
(b) The number of this Standard is not reproduced on each page; its identity is shown only on the
cover and title pages.

For the purpose of this Australian Standard, the ISO/IEC text should be modified as follows:
(i) Terminology The words ‘Australian Standard’ should replace the words ‘International Standard’
wherever they appear.
(ii) References The references to International Standards should be replaced by references to
Australian Standards as follows:

1. Introduction and Overview

This portion of the Local Area Network (LAN) standards deals with all elements of
the token-passing bus access method and its associated physical signaling and media
technologies. The access function coordinates the use of the shared medium among the
attached stations and has the relationship to the other protocol functions given by
Fig 1-1.

1.1 Scope. For the purpose of compatible interconnection of stations by way of a LAN
using the token-passing bus access method this standard
(1) Specifies the electrical and/or optical and physical characteristics of the
transmission medium,
(2) Specifies the electrical or optical signaling method used,
(3) Specifies the frame formats transmitted,
(4) Specifies the actions of a station upon receipt of a frame,
(5) Specifies the services provided at the conceptual interface between the Medium
Access Control (MAC) sublayer and the Logical Link Control (LLC) sublayer
above it,
(6) Specifies the actions, entities, and values used to manage the MAC sublayer
and Physical Layer Entity (PLE).
Within this standard the operation of a station is specified in terms of the layered
model shown in Fig 1-1 and described in ISO 7498 : 1984 [13]. 2

Additional information on the 802 family of LAN standards can be found in IEEE
Std 802.1A [9].
Figure 1-1 also shows which sections of the standard specify interfaces between
layers and which sections specify the operation of the layers themselves.
Recommendations for frequency allocations for community antenna television
(CATV) systems are subjects for national standardization and are outside the scope of
this International Standard.

1.2 Definitions. The definitions used in this standard are consistent with ISO 2382-9:
1984 [12]. A more specific information processing vocabulary pertaining to LAN
systems is in development as WP 2382/25.
