This specification contains all the information necessary to facilitate the exchange of data and control information over twisted pair media within a home. The document is divided into six Sections (1 - 6):

An introduction to the TP standard.

A general description of the TP network design.

The specifications of the allowed topology and configuration rules - this section covers network components, allowed wiring configurations, coexistence with other services, configuration of the wiring and attachment of devices, and power distribution rules.

A specification of the TP physical medium - this section covers frequency allocation of the medium, channelization, the physical and electrical specification of the medium, connectors, environmental requirements, and installation considerations.

The physical layer specifications of a TP device - covers the interface to the higher ISO layers, control channel signal characteristics, data channel signal criteria, encoding, transmitter and receiver characteristics, and device failure modes.

The Node-0 requirements for support of the TP network - covers the Node-0 requirements for successful network operation including power supply and signal bridging criteria.

The standard establishes a minimal set of rules for compliance. It does not rule out extended services to be provided, since the rules are adhered to within the system. It is in fact the intention of the standard to permit extended services (defined by users) to coexist.

Certain aspects of the standard are defined in other documents. These documents will be referenced when relevant. In the case where a referenced standard conflicts with this document, this document will prevail.
