Foreword
This European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) has been produced by the Network Aspects (NA)
Technical Committee of the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI).
This ETS defines the Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) based user network access physical layer
interfaces to be applied to the T , S reference points of the reference configurations of the Broadband
B B
Integrated Services Digital Network (B-ISDN) User Network Interface (UNI) for B-ISDN applications. It
addresses the structure of the transmission system that is used at these interfaces as well as the
implementation of the UNI related Operation And Maintenance (OAM) functions at the SDH-based
physical layer.
The production of this ETS has taken into account the recommendations given in CCITT
Recommendations I.413 [11] and I.432 [12].

1 Scope
This European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) defines the physical layer interface to be applied to
the S and T reference points of the reference configurations of the Broadband Integrated Services
B B
Digital Network (B-ISDN) Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) based User Network Interface (UNI) at
155 520 kbit/s and 622 080 kbit/s. It addresses separately the physical media and the transmission
system used at these interfaces and addresses also the implementation of UNI related Operation And
Maintenance (OAM) functions.
The selection of the physical medium for the interfaces at the S and T reference points should take into
B B
account that optical fibre is agreed as the preferred medium to be used to cable customer equipment.
However, in order to accommodate existing cabling of customer equipment, other transmission media
(e.g. coaxial cables) should not be precluded. Also, implementations should allow terminal
interchangeability.
This ETS reflects in its structure and content the desire to take care of such early configurations and
introduces a degree of freedom when choosing a physical medium at the physical layer.

4 Reference configuration at the user-network interface
4.1 Functional groups and reference points
The reference configurations defined for ISDN basic access and primary access are considered general
enough to be applicable to all aspects of the B-ISDN accesses.
Figure 1 shows the B-ISDN reference configurations which contain the following:
- functional groups: B-NT1; B-NT2; B-TE1; TE2; B-TE2; and B-TA;
- reference points: T ; S and R.

Figure 1: B-ISDN reference configurations
In order to clearly illustrate the broadband aspects, the notation for reference points and for functional
groups with broadband capabilities are appended with the letter B (e.g. B-NT1, T ). The broadband
B
functional groups are equivalent to the functional groups defined in ISDN. Interfaces at the R reference
point may or may not have broadband capabilities.
Interfaces at reference points S and T will be standardized. These interfaces will support all ISDN
B B
services.
4.2 Examples of physical realizations
Figure 2 gives examples of physical configurations illustrating combinations of physical interfaces at
various reference points. The examples cover configurations that could be supported by standardized
interfaces at reference points S and T . Other configurations may also exist. For example, physical
B B
configurations of B-NT2 may be distributed or use shared medium to support Local Area Network (LAN)
emulation and other applications.
Figure 3 illustrates possible physical configurations, but does not preclude alternative configurations.
Whether a single interface at the S reference point can cover different configurations, as illustrated in
B
figure 3, is for further study.

NOTE 1: MA: Medium Adapter; accommodates the specific topology of the distributed B-NT2.
The interface at W may include topology dependant elements; it may be a non-
standardized interface.
NOTE 2: There will be a physical link between these two Medium Adapters in the case of ring
configurations.
NOTE 3: There will be a physical link between B-TE* and B-NT2 in the case of ring
configurations.
NOTE 4: B-TE* includes shared medium access functions.
NOTE 5: The measurable physical characteristics of the SS interface are identical to those of
B
the S interface. The functional characteristics of the interface, however, may be a
B
superset of those at the S interface.
B
NOTE 6: The B-NT2 may be null in the case of commonalty between S and T .
B B
NOTE 7: Additional termination functions (e.g. for loopback in bus configuration) and OAM
functions may be necessary for multiaccess B-TE configurations. Requirements and
implementations of these functions are for further study.

4.3 Basic characteristics of the interfaces at T and S reference points
B B
4.3.1 Characteristics of the interfaces at 155 520 kbit/s
4.3.1.1 Interface at T reference point
B
There is only one interface per B-NT1 at the T reference point. The operation of the physical medium is
B
point-to-point in the sense that there is only one sink (receiver) in front of one source (transmitter).
Point-to-multipoint configurations at T at the ATM and higher layers are for further study.
B
4.3.1.2 Interface at the S reference point
B
One or more S interfaces per B-NT2 are present. The interface at the S reference point is point-to-point
B B
at the physical layer in the sense that there is only one sink (receiver) in front of one source (transmitter)
and may be point to multipoint at the other layers.
4.3.1.3 Relationship between interfaces at S and T
B B
Configurations described in figures 2i) and 2j) require that the interface specifications at T and S should
B B
have a high degree of commonalty, in order to ensure that a simple broadband terminal may be
connected directly to the T interface.
B
The feasibility of achieving the needed commonalty is for further study.
4.3.2 Characteristics of the interfaces at 622 080 kbit/s
4.3.2.1 Interface at T reference point
B
There is only one interface per B-NT1 at the T reference point. The operation of the physical medium is
B
point-to-point in the sense that there is only one sink (receiver) in front of one source (transmitter).
Point-to-multipoint configurations at T at the ATM and higher layers are for further study.
B
4.4 Relationship between ISDN interfaces
Figures 2g) and 2h) show configurations where B-ISDN and ISDN interfaces may occur at S and S
B
respectively. In this case B-NT2 functionalities have to ensure the interface capabilities for both S and S .
B
Other configurations for supporting terminals at the interface at the S reference point may exist.
4.5 Functional groups characteristics
Lists of functions for each functional group are given below. Each particular function is not necessarily
restricted to a single functional group. For example, "interface termination" functions are included in the
function lists of B-NT1, B-NT2 and B-TE. The function lists for B-NT1, B-NT2, B-TE and B-TA are not
exhaustive. Not all specific functions in a functional group need to be present in all implementations.
4.5.1 Network termination 1 for B-ISDN (B-NT1)
This functional group includes functions broadly equivalent to layer 1 of the OSI reference model.
Examples of B-NT1 functions are:
- line transmission termination;
- transmission interface handling;
- OAM functions.
