This practical guide to the technology and implementation of local area networks (LANs) using IEEE standards covers manufacturing automation protocol (MAP) and technical office protocol (TOP). Compatibility problems that arise when implementing LANs are discussed, and special attention is given to tools for managing the networks and to bridge and gateway strategies for linking to larger networks.
