Jim:
I offer the following report to TSG2:
[Document TSG2-0132_ro_Chr4_CD_Egan.doc]
- TSG4 unanimously approved 5.3 changes proposed by John Egan, with one exception. The word “re-sited” in 5.3.6.4.2 shall remain. To clarify
its meaning “(moved)” shall be added after “re-siting”.
- TSG4 also reached unanimous agreement on 5.1.1. Below is the resulting text, with significant changes highlighted:
5.1
General description of IEEE 1901 Architecture
5.1.1
General description
This clause introduces the concepts and terminology used within this standard (referred to throughout the text as IEEE 1901). Specific terms are defined in Clause 3. Illustrations convey
key IEEE 1901 concepts and the interrelationships of the architectural components. IEEE 1901 uses an architecture to describe functional components
of a network employing IEEE 1901 devices. The architectural descriptions are not intended to represent any specific physical implementation of IEEE 1901.
IEEE 1901
devices can be deployed on in-building mains power networks or over power distribution networks both medium and low voltage. While its use in-building lends itself to use of
the term LAN, the deployment of IEEE 1901 devices on distribution lines does not as this encompasses a broad area, traditionally not considered a LAN but a WAN. The term, therefore,
“network of IEEE 1901 devices” covers both instances of the IEEE 1901 architecture, LAN and WAN.
Delete 5.1.1.1
[Editor’s note: Must look for other uses of “IEEE 1901 network” and replace with
“network of IEEE 1901 devices”.]
