Network access controller definition

Network access controller. (Category 4) means a physical interface to a distributed switching network. It uses a common medium which operates throughout at the same “digital transfer rate” using arbitration (e.g. token or carrier sense) for transmission. Independently from any other, it selects data packets or data groups (e.g. Ref. IEEE 802) addressed to it. It is an assembly that can be integrated into computer or telecommunications equipment to provide communications access; “neural computer” (Category 4) means a computational device designed or modified to mimic the behaviour of a neuron or a collection of neurons, i.e. a computational device which is distinguished by its hardware capability to modulate the weights and numbers of the interconnections of a multiplicity of computational components based on previous data; “nuclear reactor” (Category 0) means a complete reactor capable of operation so as to maintain a controlled self-sustaining fission chain reaction. A “nuclear reactor” includes all the items within or attached directly to the reactor vessel, the equipment which controls the level of power in the core, and the components which normally contain, come into direct contact with or control the primary coolant of the reactor core; “numerical control” (Category 2) means the automatic control of a process performed by a device that makes use of numeric data usually introduced as the operation is in progress (Ref. ISO 2382); “object code” (GSN) means an equipment executable form of a convenient expression of one or more processes (“source code” or source language) which has been compiled by programming system; “Operations, Administration or Maintenance” (“OAM”) (Category 5) means performing one or more of the following tasks: a. Establishing or managing any of the following: 1. Accounts or privileges of users or administrators; 2. Settings of an item; or 3. Authentication data in support of the tasks described in paragraph a.1. or a.2.; b. Monitoring or managing the operating condition or performance of an item; or c. Managing logs or audit data in support of any of the tasks described in paragraph a. or b.;
