Foreword
This Interim European Telecommunication Standard (I-ETS) was prepared by the Terminal Equipment
(TE) Technical Committee of the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI).
An ETSI standard may be given I-ETS status as it is regarded either as a provisional solution ahead of a
more advanced standard, or because it is immature and requires a "trial period". The life of an I-ETS is
limited, at first, to three years after which it can be converted into an European Telecommunication
Standard (ETS), have its life extended for a further two years, be replaced by a new version of the I-ETS
or, finally, be withdrawn.
This is the second part of an I-ETS which is currently intended to comprise eight parts.
This I-ETS specifies technical characteristics for Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) telephony
terminals as described in the scope of this I-ETS. The characteristics are additional to type approval
requirements to which the terminal equipment is subject. The additional characteristics are meant to give
improved performance.
In the present version of this I-ETS the following parts are included:
Part 1: General (I-ETS 300 245-1 [1]).
Part 2: PCM A-law, handset telephony.
Part 3: PCM A-law, loudspeaking and handsfree telephony.
Part 4: Interface for additional equipment.
Part 5: Wideband (7 kHz) handset telephony.
Part 6: Wideband (7 kHz) handsfree telephony.
Part 7: Locally generated information tones.
Part 8: Terminal application of 16 kbit/s speech coding algorithms.
NOTE: Part 8 is still under study within ETSI.

1 Scope
This Part of this Interim European Telecommunication Standard (I-ETS) specifies the technical
characteristics for Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) A-law 3,1 kHz handset telephony terminals to be used at
the basic access for the coincident S and T reference point of the Integrated Services Digital Network
(ISDN).
This Part applies in conjunction with I-ETS 300 245-1 [1] and the characteristics specified in this Part are
additional to those of I-ETS 300 245-1 [1].
The present version of this part does not cover measurements on receivers (in handsets) with low acoustic
output impedance.
NOTE: The characteristics specified in this I-ETS are supplementary to the mandatory
requirements given in ETS 300 085 [2].

references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter. For dated

3 Definitions and abbreviations
3.1 Definitions
For the purposes of this I-ETS, the relevant definitions given in CCITT Recommendations P.10 [3] and G.701
[4] apply along with the following.
Telephony 3,1 kHz teleservice: A description of the telephony 3,1 kHz teleservice is to be found in ETS 300
111 [5].
Loudspeaking telephony terminal: A handset telephony terminal using a loudspeaker associated with
an amplifier as a telephone receiver. Defined in CCITT Recommendation P.10 [3].
Handsfree telephony terminal: A telephony terminal using a loudspeaker associated with an amplifier as
a telephone receiver and which can be used without a handset. Defined in CCITT Recommendation P.10
[3].
Terminal Coupling Loss (TCL): The frequency dependent coupling loss between the receiving port and
sending port of a terminal due to:
- acoustic coupling at the user interface;
- electrical coupling due to crosstalk in the handset cord or within the electrical circuits;
- seismic coupling through the mechanical parts of the terminal.
NOTE 1: The receiving port and the sending port of a digital voice terminal is a 0 dBr point.
NOTE 2: The coupling at the user interface will depend on the conditions of use.
Weighted Terminal Coupling Loss (TCLw): The weighted TCL using the weighting of CCITT
Recommendation G.122 [6].
Digital interface: For the purposes of this I-ETS, the digital interface refers to the B-channels available at
the coincident S and T reference point at an ISDN basic access.
3.2 Abbreviations
For the purposes of this I-ETS, the relevant abbreviations in CCITT Recommendations P.10 [3] and G.701
[4] apply.

5 Transmission aspects
5.1 General
Recommendations and requirements for PCM A-law terminals are given here and in ETS 300 085 [2]. When
using other coding algorithms other parts of this I-ETS may apply.
5.1.1 Encoding
The default speech encoding algorithm for all telephony terminals shall be the A-law encoding at 64 kbit/s as
defined in CCITT Recommendation G.711 [7]. Any other possible encoding algorithm will be additional. For
some encoding algorithms recommendations are given in other parts of this I-ETS.
5.1.2 Relative level
The digital interface is defined as a 0 dBr point according to CCITT Recommendation G.101 [8].
5.1.3 Volume control
Unless stated otherwise, the requirements apply for all positions of the user-controlled receiving volume
control, if provided.
5.2 Speech performance characteristics
5.2.1 Frequency response and sensitivity
The frequency responses and sensitivities shall be measured as described in ETS 300 085 [2].
5.2.1.1 Sending

restricted by the fully drawn lines in figure 1.
