Project Description:: In conjunction with CEA-709.1 Control Network Protocol Specification, CEA-709.4 defines a complete 7-layer protocol stack for communications on a CEA-709.4 single-fiber (half-duplex) fiber-optic channel.

Project Need:: Define protocol for single fiber, half duplex,, fiber optic channel

Scope Summary:: In conjunction with ANSI/CEA-709.1 Control Network Protocol Specification, ANSI/CEA-709.4 defines a complete 7-layer protocol stack for communications on a CEA-709.4 single-fiber (half-duplex) fiber-optic channel. ANSI/CEA-709.4 specifies the physical layer (OSI Layer 1) requirements for the CEA -709.4 fiber-optic channel which encompasses the interface to the Media Access Control (MAC) layer and the interface to the medium. The single-fiber channel implemented as specified in ANSI/CEA-709.4 allows two nodes to communicate bi-directionally across a single piece of fiber cable.
