1 Scope
This European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) describes requirements of cross connect equipment
for use in synchronous digital leased line networks. It covers equipment having 2 048 kbit/s access ports
and is limited to the basic functions, external characteristics and performance of the equipment.
Requirements for the management of the equipment are to be covered in ETS 300 010-2 which should be
used in conjunction with this part of the ETS.
NOTE: ETS 300 010-2 is under development within ETSI TC-TM.
Some network operators may have additional requirements and these are provided in normative annexes
A to C.

3 Definitions
For the purposes of this ETS, the following definitions apply.
synchronous cross connect equipment: A device which accepts a number of signals comprising
synchronously multiplexed lower bit rate signals and cross connects the constituent lower bit rate signals.
blocking factor: The existence of cross connections in a cross connect equipment can block the
establishing of any new cross connection. The blocking factor is the probability that a new cross
connection cannot be made, expressed as a decimal fraction of 1.
synchronization signal: A clock control signal obtained from a synchronization network.
access port: Access ports of a cross connect equipment are input and output ports used to terminate
2 048 kbit/s signals transporting synchronous 64 and n x 64 kbit/s signals to be cross connected.
cross connection capacity: This comprises the maximum number of equivalent channels at 64 kbit/s
which can be cross connected as equivalent to a 64 kbit/s channel.
NOTE: Cross connection of Time Slot 0 (TS 0) (or bits 1 to 8) or Time Slot 16 (TS 16)
information according to CCITT Recommendation G.704 [2] should be considered as
equivalent to a 64 kbit/s channel.

6 Reference model
Figure 2 provides a reference model for the equipment, including the location of reference points.
Definitions of functional blocks are given below:
physical interface (PI): This function terminates and generates the signals at an access port. This
function also detects the Loss Of incoming 2 048 kbit/s Signal (LOS) condition, the line code violations as
appropriate.
plesiochronous path termination (PPT): This function terminates and generates a logical signal at
2 048 kbit/s at an access port. This function provides frame generation and recovery and detection of
defect or failure conditions on the 2 048 kbit/s logical signal.
cross connection function (XC): This function allows the cross connection of 64 and n x 64 kbit/s (n
ranging from 1 to 32) signals from J1 reference point of an access port i to J2 reference point of an other
access port j and from J1 reference point of this access port j to J2 reference point of access port i (see
Note 4 under Figure 2 for the meaning of J1 and J2 reference points).
channel associated signalling cross connection function (CASXC): If channel associated signalling is
used then this function provides the cross connection of the a, b, c and d signalling information from L1 to
L2 reference points in correspondence with the related 64 or n x 64 kbit/s cross connection from J1
reference point of an access port i to J2 reference point of an other access port j and from J1 reference
point of this access port j to J2 reference point of access port i assuming that access ports i and j are
carrying signals containing channel associated signalling (see Note 5 under Figure 2 for the meaning of L1
and L2 reference points).
special function (SF): Example of optional special function are analogue multipoint conference bridge,
data multipoint bridge, broadcasting, digital low bit rate transcoding for voice channel.
timing input physical interface (TIPI): This function terminates an external 2 048 kHz synchronization
signal.
timing output physical interface (TOPI): This function generates an external 2 048 kHz signal.
cross connect timing source (XCTS): This function provides all internal timing signals necessary for the
cross connect equipment.
equipment management function (EMF): This function is connected to all the other functional blocks
and provides for a local user or the Telecommunication Management Network (TMN) a mean to perform
all the management functions of the cross connect equipment.
message communication function (MCF): This function terminates and generates the cross connect
management control channel(s). The control channel may as well be a Q interface. The function is also
able to inter work as a relay function between the local workstation connected via a F interface and the
TMN. It also provides local access to internal management functions via a m interface which is not subject
to standardization.
