Foreword
This third edition of ETS 300 076 was produced by the Terminal Equipment (TE) Technical Committee of
the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI).This third edition is intended to supersede the 1992 version of this ETS which was adopted in Autumn
1992. It takes into account the introduction of both the photographic and the audio syntax described in
ETS 300 177 [6] and ETS 300 149 [7] respectively, as well as the Videotex enhanced Man Machine
Interface (VEMMI) defined in ETS 300 382 [30].This ETS describes the Terminal Facility Identifier (TFI) which may be used to ascertain the capabilities of
either a physical Videotex terminal or another Videotex service. This ETS is one of an integrated package
of seven ETSs covering various aspects of Videotex which comprises:ETS 300 072 Terminal Equipment (TE);
Videotex presentation layer protocol

Introduction
The Terminal Facility Identifier (TFI) may be used to ascertain the capabilities of a "terminal" (where a
terminal may actually be a physical terminal or another Videotex service). Videotex terminals have not all
been designed to support all coding techniques; for example, photographic and audio, or support of
different types of local facilities such as telesoftware or various types of modems. In addition, a specific
terminal may support one or more of the defined base data syntaxes DS I, DS II or DS III. The TFI may be
used to determine:- each of the national or regional Videotex services;
- the terminal profile and additional terminal capabilities;
- to which parts of the Service Reference Model (SRM) the terminal conforms;
- the current profile and capabilities of the terminal.

1 Scope
This European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) specifies the data syntax to be used by Videotex
services for terminal capabilities identification.This ETS is applicable to both the Videotex service and the attached Videotex terminals. Those terminals
may be connected to the Videotex service via the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) or the
Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN). Connection of terminals to other networks is for further study.
It also applies to any equipment (e.g. another Videotex service) which acts as a Videotex terminal.

normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed

5 Overview
The Videotex data syntax allows for the use of a variety of different coding techniques (text, mosaics,
graphics, audio, photographic pictures, etc...).The Videotex terminals have not all been designed to support all the possible coding techniques; some of
them are unable to display graphic or photographic images, to output audio information. Some others
partly support such facilities. Some facilities are grouped together in order to establish a so called
"Videotex profile" which represents a coherent and consistent set of functionalities and, therefore, is
intended to be supported by a large population of terminals.In addition, terminals may be connected to different networks, use different modems, etc...
To maximize the chance of successful communication, the Videotex host computer may ask the terminal
about the capabilities it supports.The terminal may answer indicating:
- either the data syntax and the profile(s);
- or the precise list of facilities it supports.
The coding is described in clause 6 below and the formal description of the terminal response is given in
clause 8.---------------------- Page: 11 ----------------------

6 Coding
To request the terminal profile, the code US 2/0 4/0 is transmitted to the terminal.
The terminal shall reply with US 2/0 followed by a series of bytes from columns 4 to 7 of the code table
and terminating with the code 4/0 except in some cases when the Escape code (7/15) is used (see
subclause 6.3).Host Terminal
.... Identification Command: US 2/0 4/0 - - - - - - - - - >
<- - - - US 2/0 x/y...x/y Z; TFI response......
Intermediate codes x/y shall be transmitted by the terminal between US 2/0 and the final code Z. The
value of the final code Z is described in subclause 6.3. Intermediate codes identify the capabilities of the
terminal and shall be selected from the following list:4/1 - 4/15 = reserved for internal use of each data syntaxes DS I, DS II and DS III (DS II
is defined by this ETS)5/0, 5/1 = audio mode (as defined in subclause 6.4)
5/2 = modem capability (as defined in subclause 6.5)
5/3 = reserved
5/4 = data syntax and profile (rank/facility) identification:
3/1 = DS I
3/2 = DS II
3/3 = DS III
3/4 to 3/13 =reserved
3/14 = private
3/15 = CCITT terminator code
5/5 = photographic mode (as defined in subclause 6.6)
5/6 = support of ISO 9281 switching
5/7 = support of VEMMI data
5/8 - 5/15 = reserved
6/0 - 7/15 = reserved for internal use of each data syntax DS I, DS II and DS III.
The values in the range 4/1 - 4/15 and 6/0 - 7/15 terminated by the code 3/15 are used for the profile
identification. The codes following a particular data syntax identification pertain to that particular data
syntax.6.1 Compatibility provision for ITU-T Recommendation T.101
Terminal Facility Identifier (TFI) implementations of terminals which are intended to be used in systems
where more than one data syntax is in use, should be based on ITU-T Recommendation T.101 [1]. In that
case, the profile identification of data syntax II (4/1 - 4/15 and 6/0 - 7/15) are included between the codes
5/4, 3/2 and 3/15. The code 5/6 indicates the support of ISO/IEC 9281 switching. The code 5/7 indicates
the support of VEMMI. The end of the TFI response is indicated by the value 4/0 only and not by the last
capability byte (see subclause 6.3). The detailed description is contained in ITU-T Recommendation T.101
[1], § 9.2.---------------------- Page: 12 ----------------------

6.2 Conformance to the SRM
NOTE: This subclause is present within this ETS only to maintain compatibility with existing
systems.The following codes have been assigned for identifying parts of the SRM.
4/0 = Terminator
4/1 = Alphamosaic (ETS 300 072 [2])
4/2 = Geometric (ETS 300 073 [3])
4/3 = Photographic (ETS 300 072 [2] - and for ETS 300 177 [6])
4/4 = Define DRCS (ETS 300 072 [2])
4/5 = Define colour (ETS 300 072 [2])
4/6 = Define format (ETS 300 072 [2])
4/7 = Transparent data (ETS 300 074 [4])
4/8 = Reset (ETS 300 072 [2])
4/9 = Processable data (ETS 300 075 [5])
4/11 = Timing control (ETS 300 072 [2])
EXAMPLE 1: A terminal conforming to the following parts of the SRM: Alphamosaic, Define
DRCS, Define colour, Define format, Reset shall transmit:US 2/0 4/1 4/4 4/5 4/6 4/8 4/0.
If different levels of conformance are defined in the future (as for the Geometric display or Processable
data) then the level of conformance may be indicated by one or more bytes from column 3 of the code
