PHY Functions
- Definition of Hardware Specifications: The
- details of operation of cables, connectors, wireless radio transceivers,
- network interface cards and other hardware devices are generally a function of
- the physical layer (although also partially the data link layer).
- Encoding and Signaling: The
- physical layer is responsible for various encoding and signaling functions that
- transform the data from bits that reside within a computer or other device into
- signals that can be sent over the network.
