LANs: Applications of IEEE/ANSI 802 Standards

by Thomas W. Madron and Thomas William Madron

Book Overview

The growing popularity of Local Area Networks (LANs) has created a movement for specific standards - a major step in making well-documented LANs available. Here is a practical, thorough guide to the characteristics, role, functions, technology, and implementation of LANs using IEEE and related standards. It contains what every LAN applications developer should know about Manufacturing Automation Protocol (MAP) and Technical Office Protocol (TOP). The book also shows how to tackle hardware compatibility problems when implementing LANs, and how to develop bridge and gateway strategies for linking LANs to larger networks. The book has been designed for systems designers, MIS managers, organizational executives and universities concerned with the design and implementation of LANS.
