A UAFX Station is an IA-station (see 6.4) supporting the UAFX communication and application layer (see Figure 1). The UAFX communication and application layer is a logical component acting as a source of and/or destination for link layer data traffic. Thus, each UAFX Station incorporates at least one End Station Component where the UAFX communication and application layer can be located. Figure 11 shows that the UAFX communication and application layer can either reside in a single End Station Component (UAFX1, End Station Component 1) or in multiple End Station Components (UAFX 2, End Station Component 2, End Station Component 3).
