Introduction Prior to the conformance testing and the interoperability testing of IUTs, it is necessary to have the PICS (Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement) documents for both implementations. This particular PICS deals with the implementation of the 51.84Mb/s Mid-range Physical Layer Interface for UTP-3. 1.1 Scope This document provides the PICS proforma for the Mid-range Physical Layer Interface as described in the Mid-range ATM User-Network Interface Specification [1], in compliance with the relevant requirements, and in accordance with the relevant guidelines, given in ISO/IEC 9646-2 [2]. 1.2 Normative References [1] AF-PHY-0018.000, "Mid-range Physical Layer Specification for Category 3 Unshielded Twisted-Pair", September, 1994.

PICS Proforma 3.1 Global Statement of Conformance The implementation described in this PICS meets all of the mandatory requirements of the reference protocol. ___Yes ___No Note: Answering "No" indicates non-conformance to the specified protocol. Non-supported mandatory capabilities are to be identified in the following tables, with an explanation in the comments section of each table of why the implementation is non- conforming. 3.2 Instructions for Completing the PICS Proforma The PICS Proforma is a fixed-format questionnaire. Answers to the questionnaire should be provided in the rightmost columns, either by simply indicating a restricted choice (such as Yes or No), or by entering a value or a set of range of values. A supplier may also provide additional information, categorized as exceptional or supplementary information. This additional information should be provided as items labelled X. for exceptional information, or S. for supplemental information, respectively, for cross reference purposes, where is any unambiguous identification for the item. The exceptional and supplementary information is not mandatory and the PICS is complete without such information. The presence of optional supplementary or exception information should not affect test execution, and will in no way affect interoperability verification. 3.3 Physical Media Dependent (PMD) Specification _________________________________________________________________________ Item Protocol Feature Status Spec.
