      {internet} (a large number of interconnected sub-networks)
      that provides connectivity within the community as well as
      access to external services and other communities.   The {hub}
      is the JANET subnetwork, a private {X.25} {packet-switched}

   Joint Test Action Group
  
            standards, testing> (JTAG, or "IEEE Standard 1149.1") A
      {standard} specifying how to control and monitor the pins of
      compliant devices on a {printed circuit board}.
  
      Each device has four JTAG control lines.   There is a common
      reset (TRST) and clock (TCLK).   The data line {daisy chains}
      one device's TDO pin to the TDI pin on the next device.
  
      The {protocol} contains commands to read and set the values of
      the pins (and, optionally {internal registers}) of devices.
      This is called "{boundary scanning}".   The protocol makes
      board testing easier as signals that are not visible at the
      board connector may be read and set.
  
      The protocol also allows the testing of equipment, connected
      to the JTAG port, to identify components on the board (by
      reading the device identification register) and to control and
      monitor the device's outputs.
  
      JTAG is not used during normal operation of a board.
