Foreword
This ETSI Guide (EG) has been produced by ETSI Technical Committee Services and Protocols for Advanced
Networks (SPAN) using information provided by EURESCOM P613.
The present document is part 1 of a multi-part EG covering the Network integration testing between ISDN, PLMN and
PSTN, as identified below:
Part 1: Test Suite Structure and Test Purposes (TSS&TP) specification;
Part 2: Abstract Test Suite (ATS), Implementation Conformance Statement (ICS) and partial Implementation
eXtra Information for Testing (IXIT) proformas.
Introduction
The present document contains the Test Suite Structure and Test Purposes (TSS&TP) for Network Integration Testing
Narrow-band Services for testing the European ISDN and PLMN, covering Network Integration Testing (NIT) between
ISDN-PLMN, PSTN-PLMN, PLMN-ISDN, PLMN-PSTN and PLMN-PLMN networks. The objective is to verify the
level of international end-to-end support of ISDN and PLMN services. Both bearer services (and associated
teleservices) and supplementary services are checked for interworking capability and compatibility, in the European
ISDN and PLMN.
The European ISDN and PLMN are made up by connecting the different national networks and End-to-end NIT covers
all the testing activities necessary to assess the correct behaviour of the interconnected network from the point of view of
access interfaces, network side.

1 Scope
The present document specifies the Test Suite Structure and Test Purposes (TSS&TP) for Network Integration Testing
(NIT) to verify the overall compatibility of ISDN, PLMN and non-ISDN (PSTN) over the national or international ISUP
between networks. Network Integration Testing will assure that the appropriate requested features passes between an
ISDN subscriber and the PLMN subscriber across the national or international ISUP (ISUP V2) interface.
