The CSMA-CD entity is the top-level entity in the hierarchy of
entities belonging to the CSMA-CD module.
A CSMA-CD PORT entity represents an access point to the service
offered by the CSMA-CD module. A client transmits and receives
data through a port. Ports are created and deleted by client use
of open and close service interface procedures. The port-name
refers to the port managed by this command.
A CSMA-CD STATION entity manages a CSMA/CD controller. Wherever
Phase IV DECnet manages a line, DECnet-Plus manages a station.
Each station corresponds to a particular logical link control
(LLC), medium access control (MAC), and physical attachment. The
station-name refers to the station managed by this command.
