The Station Management (SMT) Abstract Test Suite (ATS) directly supports the FDDI Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS) Proforma and works in correlation with three other FDDI ATS standards. This ATS for FDDI SMT provides the test procedures and test cases required to test the station management protocol described in the SMT standards. SMT specified the local portion of the system management application process for FDDI, including the control required for proper operation of an FDDI station in an FDDI ring. SMT provided services such as connection management, station insertion and removal, station initialization, configuration management, fault recovery, communication protocol for external authority, scheduling policies and the collection of statistics. SMT interact with PMD, PHY, and MAC for testing. (NOTE: This publication is NOT available in paper form; it is available on CD-ROM.)
