8.3.1 Introduction
The purpose of the Carrier ID Read/Writer Functional Standard effort is to provide a
common specification for concepts, behavior, and services provided by a Carrier ID
Reader/Writer to an upstream controller. A standard interface will increase
interchangeability of Carrier ID Reader/Writer so that users and equipment
suppliers have a wide range of choices.
Scope:
1. The Interface Standard addresses the functional requirements for a generic
Carrier ID Reader/Writer interface with an upstream controller.
2. The specification includes required behavior and required communications
for a Carrier ID Reader and Writer.
3. The specification does not require, define or prohibit asynchronous
messages sent by the Carrier ID Reader or Writer.
4. This standard does not purport to address safety issues, if any, associated
with its use.
