`
`24.5 Compatibility considerations
`
`There is no requirement for a compliant device to implement or expose any of the interfaces specified for the
`PCS, PMA, or PMD. However, if an exposed interface is provided to the PCS, it shall comply with the
`requirements for the MII, as specified in clause 22.
`
`24.6 Delay constraints
`
`Proper operation of a CSMA/CD LAN demands that there be an upper bound on the propagation delays
`through the network. This implies that MAC, PHY, and repeater implementors must conform to certain delay
`minima and maxima, and that network planners and administrators conform to constraints regarding the
`cable topology and concatenation of devices. MAC constraints are contained in clause 21. Topological con-
`straints are contained in clause 29.
`
`The reference point for all MDI measurements is the 50% point of the mid-cell transition corresponding to
`the reference code-bit, as measured at the MDI. Although 100BASE-TX output is scrambled, it is assumed
`that these measurements are made via apparatuses that appropriately account for this.
`
`24.6.1 PHY delay constraints (exposed Mll)
`
`Every l00BASE-X PHY with an exposed MII shall comply with the bit delay constraints specified in table
`24-2. These figures apply for all l00BASE-X PMDs.
`
`Table 24-2—MDl to Mll delay constraints (exposed Mll)
`
`
`
`24.6.2 DTE delay constraints (unexposed Mll)
`
`Every l00BASE-X DTE with no exposed MII shall comply with the bit delay constraints specified in table
`24-3. These figures apply for all l00BASE-X PMDs.
`
`24.6.3 Carrier de-assertionlassertion constraint
`
`To ensure fair access to the network, each DTE shall, additionally, satisfy the following:

`
`25. Physical Medium Dependent (PMD) sublayer and baseband medium, type
`100BASE-TX
`
`25.1 Overview
`
`This clause specifies the 100BASE—X PMD (including MDI) and baseband medium for twisted—pair wir-
`ing, 100BASE-TX. In order to form a complete 100BASE-TX Physical Layer it shall be integrated with
`the 100BASE—X PCS and PMA of clause 24, which are assumed incorporated by reference. As such, the
`100BASE-TX PMD shall comply with the PMD service interface specified in 24.4.1.
`
`25.2 Functional specifications
`
`The 100BASE-TX PMD (and MDI) is specified by incorporating the FDDI TP-PMD standard, ANSI
`X3.263: 199X (TP-PMD), by reference, with the modifications noted below. This standard provides sup-
`port for Category 5 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) and shielded twisted pair (STP). For improved legibil-
`ity in this clause, ANSI X3.263: l99X (TP-PMD), will henceforth be referred to as TP-PMD.
`
`25.3 General exceptions
`
`The 100BASE-TX PMD is precisely the PMD specified as TP-PMD, with the following general modifications:
`
`a)
`
`b)
`
`c)
`
`(1)
`
`The Scope and General description discussed in TP-PMD 1 and 5 relate to the use of those standards
`with an FDDI PHY, ISO 9314-1: 1989, and MAC, ISO 9314-2: 1989. These sections are not relevant
`to the use of the PMD with 100BASE—X.
`
`The Normative references, Definitions and Conventions of TP-PMD 2, 3, and 4 are used only as nec-
`essary to interpret the applicable sections of TP-PMD referenced in this clause.
`The PMD Service Specifications of TP-PMD 6 are replaced by those specified in 24.4.1. The
`100BASE-TX PMD Service specification is a proper subset of the PMD Service Specification in
`TP-PMD.
`
`There are minor terminology dilferences between this standard and TP-PMD that do not cause ambi-
`guity. The terminology used in 100BASE—X was chosen to be consistent with other IEEE 802 stan-
`dards, rather than with FDDI. Terminology is both defined and consistent within each standard.
`Special note should be made of the interpretations shown in table 25-1.

`
`25.4 Specific requirements and exceptions
`
`The 100BASE-TX PMD (including MDI) and baseband medium shall comply to the requirements of
`TP-PMD, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11, and normative annex A with the exceptions listed below. In TP-PMD, infor-
`mative armexes B, C, E, F, G, I, and J, with exceptions listed below, provide additional information useful
`to PMD sublayer implementors. Where there is conflict between specification in TP—PMD and those in
`this standard, those of this standard shall prevail.
`
`25.4.1 Change to 7.2.3.1.1, “Line state patterns”
`
`Descrambler synchronization on the Quiet Line State (QLS), Halt Line State (HLS), and Master Line
`State (MLS) Line State Patterns cited in TP—PMD 7.2.3.l.1 is optional.
`
`25.4.2 Change to 7.2.3.3, “Loss of synchronization”
`
`The synchronization error triggered by PH_Inva1id as defined in TP—PMD 7.2.3.3a is not applicable.
`
`25.4.3 Change to table 8-1, “Contact assignments for unshielded twisted pair”
`
`100BASE-TX for unshielded twisted pair adopts the contact assignments of 10BASE-T. Therefore, the
`contact assignments shown in TP—PMD table 8-1 shall instead be as depicted in table 25-2.
`
`25.4.4 Deletion of 8.3, “Station labelling”
`
`Clause 8.3 of TP—PMD shall not be applied to 100BASE-TX.
`
`25.4.5 Change to 9.1.9, “Jitter”
`
`The jitter measurement specified in 9.1.9 of TP—PMD may be performed using scrambled IDLEs.
`
`This is anlélrchive IEEE Standard.
`
`It has been superseded by a later version of this standard.

`
`Clause 11.2 of TP-PMD is replaced with the following:
`
`A crossover function compliant with 14.5.2 shall be implemented except that a) the signal names are those
`used in TP-PMD, and b) the contact assignments for STP are those shown in table 8-2 of TP-PMD. Note
`that compliance with 14.5 .2 implies a recommendation that crossover (for both UTP and STP) be per-
`formed within repeater PHYS.
`
`25.4.7 Change to A.2, “DDJ test pattern for baseline wander measurements”
`
`The length of the test pattern specified in TP-PMD annex A.2 may be shortened to accommodate feasible
`l00BASE-X measurements, but shall not be shorter than 3000 code-groups.
`
`NOTE—This pattern is to be applied to the M11. (When applied to the MAC, the nibbles within each byte are to be
`swapped. E.g., as delivered to the MAC, the test pattern would start, "60 c9 16 ...".)
`
`25.4.8 Change to annex G, “Stream cipher scrambling function”
`
`An example of a stream cipher scrambling implementation is shown in TP-PMD annex G. This may be
`modified to allow synchronization solely on the IDLE sequences between packets.
`
`25.4.9 Change to annex I, “Common mode cable termination"
`
`The contact assignments shown in TP-PMD figures I-1 and 1-2 shall instead comply with those specified
`in table 25-2.

`26. Physical Medium Dependent (PMD) sublayer and baseband medium, type
`100BASE—FX
`
`26.1 Overview
`
`This clause specifies the 10OBASE-X PMD (including MDI) and fiber optic medium for multi-mode fiber,
`100BASE—FX. In order to form a complete IOOBASE-FX Physical Layer it shall be integrated with the
`10OBASE-X PCS and PMA of clause 24, which are assumed incorporated by reference. As such, the
`100BASE—FX PMD shall comply with the PMD service interface specified in 24.4.1.
`
`26.2 Functional specifications
`
`The 100BASE—FX PMD (and MDI) is specified by incorporating the FDDI PMD standard, ISO 9314-3:
`1990, by reference, with the modifications noted below. This standard provides support for two optical
`fibers. For improved legibility in this clause, ISO 9314-3: 1990 will henceforth be referred to as
`fiber—PMD.
`
`26.3 General exceptions
`
`The IOOBASE-FX PMD is precisely the PMD specified as fiber-PMD, with the following general modifi-
`cations:
`
`a)
`
`b)
`
`c)
`
`(1)
`
`The Scope and General description discussed in fiber-PMD 1 and 5 relate to the use of those stan-
`dards with an FDDI PHY, ISO 9314-1: 1989, and MAC, ISO 9314-2: 1989. These clauses are not
`relevant to the use of the PMD with 10OBASE-X.
`
`The Normative references, Definitions and Conventions of fiber-PMD 2, 3, and 4 are used only as
`necessary to interpret the applicable sections of fiber-PMD referenced in this clause.
`The PMD Service Specifications of fiber-PMD 6 are replaced by those specified in 24.4.1. The
`IOOBASE-FX PMD Service specification is a proper subset of the PMD service specification in
`fiber-PMD.
`
`There are minor terminology differences between this standard and fiber-PMD that do not cause
`ambiguity. The terminology used in 10OBASE-X was chosen to be consistent with other IEEE 802
`standards, rather than with FDDI. Terminology is both defined and consistent within each standard.

`
`Optical Medium Connector Plug and Socket (commonly called ST connector) as specified in 15.3.2.
`
`26.4.2 Crossover function
`
`A crossover function shall be implemented in every cable-pair link. The crossover function connects the
`transmitter of one PHY to the receiver of the PHY at
`the other end of the cable-pair link. For
`l00BASE-FX, the crossover function is realized in the cable plant.

`
`27. Repeater for 100 Mbls baseband networks
`
`27.1 Overview
`
`27.1.1 Scope
`
`Clause 27 defines the functional and electrical characteiistics of a repeater for use with IOOBASE-T 100 Mb/s
`baseband networiks. A repeater for any other ISOXIEC 8802-3 network type is beyond the scope of this clause.
`The relationship of this standard to the entire ISO/[EC S802-3 CSMA/CD LAN standard is shown in figure 27-1.
`The purpose of the repeater is to provide a simple, inexpensive, and flexible means of coupling two or more
`segments.

`
`27.1.1.1 Repeater set
`
`Repeater sets are an integral part of all 100 II/Ibfs baseband networks with more than two DTEs and are used
`to extend the physical system topology by providing a means of coupling two or more segments. Multiple
`repeater sets are permitted within a single collision domain to provide the maximum connection path length.
`Segments may be connected directly by a repeater or a pair of repeaters that are, i.n turn. connected by a
`inter-repeater link (IRL). Allowable topologies shall contain only one operative signal path between any two
`points on the network. A repeater set is not a station and does not count toward the overall limit of 1024 sta-
`tions on a network.
`
`This is an Archive IEEE Standard.
`
`It has been superseded by a later version of this standard.

`
`SUPPLEMENT TO 802.3:
`
`A repeater set can receive, and if necessary decode, data from any segment under worst—case noise, timing,
`and signal amplitude conditions. It retransmits the data to all other segments attached to it with timing,
`amplitude, and, if necessary, coding restored. The retransmission of data occurs simultaneously with recep-
`tion. If a collision occurs, the repeater set propagates the collision event throughout the network by transmit-
`ting a Jam signal. A repeater set also provides a degree of protection to a network by isolating a faulty
`segment’s carrier activity from propagating through the network.
`
`27.1.1.2 Repeater unit
`
`A repeater unit is a subset of a repeater set containing all the repeater—specific components and functions,
`exclusive of PHY components and fimctions. A repeater unit connects to the PMA and, if necessary, the PCS
`sublayers of its PHYS.
`
`27.1.1.3 Repeater classes
`
`Two classes of repeater sets are defir1ed—Class I and Class II.
`
`Class I:
`
`Class II:
`
`A type of repeater set specified such that in a maximum length segment topology, only one such
`repeater set may exist between any two DTEs within a single collision domain.
`
`A type of repeater set specified such that in a maximum length segment topology, only two such
`repeater sets may exist between any two DTEs within a single collision domain.
`
`More complex topologies are possible in systems that do not use worst—case cable. See clause 29 for require-
`ments.
`
`27.1.2 Application perspective
`
`This subclause states the broad objectives and assumptions underlying the specification defined through
`clause 27.
`
`27.1.2.1 Objectives
`
`a)
`b)
`c)
`
`Provide physical means for coupling two or more LAN segments at the Physical Layer.
`Support interoperability of independently developed physical, electrical, and optical interfaces.
`Provide a communication charmel with a mean bit error rate, at the physical service interface equiv-
`alent to that for the attached PHY.
`
`Provide for ease of installation and service.
`(1)
`Ensure that fairness of DTE access is not compromised.
`e)
`Provide for 1ow—cost networks, as related to both equipment and cabling.
`f)
`g) Make use of building wiring appropriate for the supported PHYS and telephony wiring practices.
`
`27.1.2.2 Compatibility considerations
`
`All implementations of the repeater set shall be compatible at the MDI. The repeater set is defined to provide
`compatibility among devices designed by different manufacturers. Designers are free to implement circuitry
`within the repeater set in an application-dependent manner provided the appropriate PHY specifications are
`met.
`
`This is anzarchive IEEE Standard.
`
`It has been superseded by a later version of this standard.

`27.1.2.2.1 Internal segment compatibility
`
`IEEE
`Std 802.3u-1995
`
`Implementations of the repeater set that contain a MAC layer for network management or other purposes,
`irrespective of whether they are connected through an exposed repeater port or are internally ported, shall
`conform to the requirements of clause 30 on that port if repeater management is implemented.
`
`27.1.3 Relationship to PHY
`
`A close relationship exists between clause 27 and the PHY clauses, clause 23 for the 100BASE-T4 PHY and
`clauses 24 to 26 for the IOOBASE-X PHYs. The PHY’s PMA, PCS, and MDI specification provide the
`actual medium attachment, including drivers, receivers, and Medium Interface Connectors for the various
`supported media. The repeater clause does not define a new PHY; it utilizes the existing PHYS complete and
`without modification.
`
`27.2 PMA interface messages
`
`The messages between the repeater unit and the PMA in the PHY utilizes the PMA service interface defined
`in 23.3 and 24.3. The PMA service interface primitives are summarized below:
`
`PMA_TYPE.indicate
`
`PMA_UNITDATA.request

`PMA_UNITDATA.indicate
`
`PMA_CARRIER.indicate
`
`PMA_LINK.indicate
`
`PMA_RXERROR.indicate
`
`27.3 Repeater functional specifications
`
`A repeater set provides the means whereby data from any segment can be received under worst case noise,
`timing, and amplitude conditions and then retransmitted with timing and amplitude restored to all other
`attached segments. Retransmission of data occurs simultaneously with reception. If a collision occurs, the
`repeater set propagates the collision event throughout the network by transmitting a Jam signal. If an error is
`received by the repeater set, no attempt is made to correct it and it is propagated throughout the network by
`transmitting an invalid signal.
`
`The repeater set provides the following functional capability to handle data flow between ports:
`
`a)
`
`b)
`
`Signal restoration. Provides the ability to restore the timing and amplitude of the received signal
`prior to retransmission.
`Transmitfimction. Provides the ability to output signals on the appropriate port and encoded appro-
`priately for that port. Details of signal processing are described in the specifications for the PHYS.
`Receivefimcrion. Provides the ability to receive input signals presented to the ports. Details of signal
`processing are described in the specifications for the PHYS.
`d) Data-Handlingfunction. Provides the ability to transfer code—elements between ports in the absence
`of a collision.
`
`c)
`
`e)
`
`f)
`
`g)
`
`Received Event-Handling requirement. Provides the ability to derive a carrier signal from the input
`signals presented to the ports.
`Collision-Handlingfimction. Provides the ability to detect the simultaneous reception of frames at
`two or more ports and then to propagate a Jam message to all connected ports.
`Error-Handlingfunction. Provides the ability to prevent substandard links from generating streams
`of false carrier and interfering with other links.
`
`This is an Archive IEEE Standard.
`
`It has been superseded by a later version of this stang@_;,rd.

`
`h)
`
`i)
`
`Partition function. Provides the ability to prevent a malfunctioning port from generating an exces-
`sive number of consecutive collisions and indefinitely disrupting data transmission on the network.
`Receive Jabberfimction. Provides the ability to interrupt the reception of abnormally long streams
`of input data.
`
`27.3.1 Repeater functions
`
`The repeater set shall provide the Signal Restoration, Transmit, Receive, Data Handling, Received Event
`Handling, Collision Handling, Error Handling, Partition, and Receive Jabber functions. The repeater is trans-
`parent to all network acquisition activity and to all DTEs. The repeater will not alter the basic fairness crite-
`rion for all DTEs to access the network or weigh it toward any DTE or group of DTEs regardless of network
`location.
`
`The Transmit and Receive functional requirements are specified by the PHY clauses, clause 23 for
`l0OBASE-T4 and clauses 24 to 26 for l00BASE-X.
`
`27.3.1.1 Signal restoration functional requirements
`
`27.3.1.1.1 Signal amplification
`
`The repeater set (including its integral PHYS) shall ensure that the amplitude characteristics of the signals at
`the MDI outputs of the repeater set are within the tolerances of the specification for the appropriate PHY
`type. Therefore, any loss of signal—to—noise ratio due to cable loss and noise pickup is regained at the output
`of the repeater set as long as the incoming data is within system specification.
`
`27.3.1.1.2 Signal wave-shape restoration
`
`The repeater set (including its integral PHYs) shall ensure that the wave-shape characteristics of the signals
`at the MDI outputs of a repeater set are within the specified tolerance for the appropriate PHY type. There-
`fore, any loss of wave-shape due to PHYS and media distortion is restored at the output of the repeater set.
`
`27.3.1.1.3 Signal retiming
`
`The repeater set (including its integral PHYS) shall ensure that the timing of the encoded data output at the
`MDI outputs of a repeater set are within the specified tolerance for the appropriate PHY type. Therefore, any
`receive jitter from the media is removed at the output of the repeater set.
`
`27.3.1.2 Data-handling functional requirements
`
`27.3.1.2.1 Data frame forwarding
`
`The repeater set shall ensure that the data frame received on a single input port is distributed to all other out-
`put ports in a manner appropriate for the PHY type of that port. The data frame is that portion of the packet
`afier the SFD and before the end-of-frame delimiter. The only exceptions to this rule are when contention
`exists among any of the ports, when the receive port is partitioned as defined in 27.3.1.6, when the receive
`port is in the Jabber state as defined in 27.3.1.7, or when the receive port is in the Link Unstable state as
`defined in 27.3.l.5.1. Between unpartitioned ports, the rules for collision handling (see 27.3.1.4) take prece-
`dence.
`
`27.3.1.2.2 Received code violations
`
`The repeater set shall ensure that any code violations received while forwarding a packet are propagated to
`all outgoing segments. These code violations shall be forwarded as received or replaced by bad_code (see
`23.2.1.2) or /H/ (see 24.2.2.1) code-groups, as appropriate for the outgoing PHY type. Once a received code
