Multimedia home network - Network interfaces for network adapter (IEC 62480:2008)

This International Standard specifies the requirements for the characteristics of the Network Adapter itself and the interface between the Network Adapter and Network-ready equipment as shown in Figure 1. Data exchanged between the Network Adapter and Network-ready equipment are basically for HES Class1. This standard does not specify the Home Networking Protocol by OSI layer 1-6 in the Network Adapter and any implementation of the software stack and hardware.

La CEI 62480:2008 spécifie les exigences applicables aux caractéristiques de l'adaptateur de réseau proprement dit ainsi que celles de l'interface entre l'adaptateur de réseau et l'équipement prêt pour connexion au réseau. Les données échangées entre l'adaptateur de réseau et l'équipement prêt pour connexion au réseau correspondent fondamentalement à celles de la Classe 1 de systèmes électroniques domotiques (HES). La présente version bilingue (2012-08) correspond à la version anglaise monolingue publiée en 2008-05.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization
comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to
promote international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic
fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical
Specifications, Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as
“IEC Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee
interested in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and
non-governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates
closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined
by agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an
international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation
from all interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated
in the latter.
5) IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be held responsible for any equipment
declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 62480 has been prepared by technical area 9: Audio, video and
multimedia applications for end-user network, of IEC technical committee 100: Audio, video
and multimedia systems and equipment.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:

The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until
the maintenance result date indicated on the IEC web site under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in
the data related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.

INTRODUCTION
There are several obstacles to the spread of networked appliances that can be overcome by
the concept of a Network Adapter described in this standard. As Home Networking technology
is rapidly evolving, network functions which are pre-installed in home electrical appliances
can easily become obsolete and may be difficult to upgrade. Many appliances strictly limit
resources such as the CPU, power capacity, and memory to achieve cost savings. If all
network functions are embedded in Home Networked appliances, this could result in a higher
cost for new appliances and an additional barrier to wide adoption of such systems. In
addition, when consumers want to add a new appliance to the network, they are forced to
choose equipment with the same interconnecting systems as the existing network or add a
router or gateway which can interconnect different systems.
To solve these problems, the network functions are divided into two parts. Since functions
from OSI layer 1 to 7 (refer to ISO/IEC 7498 in Bibliography) are necessary to network home
electrical appliances (including both multimedia equipment and household appliances such as
televisions, computers, refrigerators, washing machines, and sensors), network functions from
OSI layer 1 to 6 and most of layer 7 reside in an external Network Adapter and only a small
part of layer 7 resides in the home appliances.
The advantages of applying this standard are:
• Users can upgrade a Home Network by simply changing the Network Adapters.
NOTE For example, when an end-user wants to have higher QoS media.
• An electrical appliance without embedded network functions can be connected to an
existing Home Network with a Network Adapter.
NOTE For example, when an end-user wants to utilize some of the network application functions (i.e.
energy conservation, etc) on an appliance which does not have all of the network function integrated.
• By selecting Network Adapters which use the same interconnecting system as the existing
Home Network, routers or the gateways can be avoided.
NOTE 3 For example, when an end-user’s network is a powerline network, but the appliance the user wants
to connect to has only an RF network connection.
NOTE 4 For example, when an end-user’s network is based on home networking standard “A” (layer 1-7), but
the appliance the user wants to connect utilizes a home networking standard “B” (layer 1-7).
• Home appliance manufacturers can produce products that can be connected to Home
Networks with minimal cost increases since most of the network functions are not required
to be embedded in the appliance.
NOTE This standard is helpful for standardizing the manufacturing process for including the network
function in appliances- especially when the market has a low penetration of appliances that are network-ready.
• Device objects are based on the same object-oriented methodology used in almost all
existing network protocols.
