Foreword
This European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) has been produced by the Terminal Equipment (TE)
Technical Committee of the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI). The text of this ETS
may be utilized, wholly or in part, for the establishment of NET 21.
This ETS contains the technical requirements for approval to Category II of 300 bits per second duplex
modems standardised for use on the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). These requirements are
based upon, and do not conflict with, CCITT Recommendation V.21 [4] except in the cases of subclause
5.3.1 where the frequency tolerances specified are tighter than those given; subclause 5.5.1 (Response
times of the received line signal detector) and subclause 5.5.2 (Response times of the ready for sending
indicator) where a restricted range of values have been inserted to assist inter-operability.
Additionally, requirements are included which relate to end-to-end inter-operability over PSTN connections.
These requirements are in excess of the CCITT Recommendations. A modem which complies with CCITT
Recommendation V.21 [4] should always meet the requirements of this ETS which relate to parameters
specified in that CCITT Recommendation except in the case of some of the intentional deviations identified
above.
Clause 4 of this ETS references the requirements which are common to both Category I and Category II
modems, which are contained in ETS 300 114 [2], Clause 4.
Clause 5 of this ETS contains Category II requirements specific to 300 bits per second duplex modems. In
the case of certain functions common to a number of different types of modem (e.g. Auto-answering
sequence) reference is made to Clause 5 of ETS 300 114 [2] which contains the relevant requirements,
etc.

1 Scope
This ETS specifies the technical characteristics to be offered by modems seeking Category II approval for
duplex operation over the PSTN at 300 bits per second. The modulation scheme specified is that described
in CCITT Recommendation V.21 [4].
The term "modem" in the context of this ETS includes all physical implementation practices for voice band
modems which are galvanically connected to the PSTN.
This ETS specifies two modes of operation: answer mode and call mode.
NOTE: Modems can provide either simply one of the above modes or provide both modes
together with facilities for selecting either of the two modes.
This ETS also contains descriptions of the tests to be performed in order to confirm compliance with the
functional requirements contained herein. A general description of the test conditions and test requirements
is given in Annex A (Normative).
2 Normative References
This ETS incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These normative
references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter. For
dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this ETS

3 Definitions and abbreviations
The definitions and abbreviations of ETS 300 114 apply, together with the following.
3.1 Definitions
Answer mode: When calls are established with automatic facilities, a standard answer mode shall be
used by the modem at the answering station. This mode consists of conventional characteristics (e.g. use

---------------------- Page: 9 ----------------------

SIST ETS 300 115 E1:2003
Page 8
ETS 300 115: June 1991
of high channel carrier frequency or particular scrambler generating polynomial) complementary to those
used in the standard call mode by the modem at the calling station, in order to ensure proper connection
and inter-working.
If calls are established on the PSTN by operators, or for leased line operation, bilateral agreement on the
use of call mode and answer mode shall be necessary.
Call mode: When calls are established with automatic facilities, a standard call mode shall be used by the
modem at the calling station. This mode consists of conventional characteristics (e.g. use of low channel
carrier frequency or particular scrambler generating polynomial) complementary to those used in the
standard answer mode by the modem at the answering station, in order to ensure proper connection and
inter-working.
If calls are established on the PSTN by operators, or for leased line operation, bilateral agreement on the
use of call mode and answer mode shall be necessary.
Data Terminal Equipment (DTE): is used to define the origin and destination of signals present at the
digital interface of a modem. This expression does not require that a "commercial data terminal" be
present to receive or generate such signals; a tester or any other suitable device may monitor or generate
such signals.
Degree of start-stop distortion: in start-stop transmission the ratio of the maximum measured difference,
irrespective of sign, between the actual and theoretical intervals separating any significant instant from the
significant instant of the start element immediately preceding it, to the unit interval.
The highest absolute value of degrees of individual distortion of the significant instants of a stop-start signal
is reached within a specific time interval.
The degree of distortion of start-stop modulation, restitution or signal shall be expressed as a percentage.
The result of measurement shall be completed by an indication of the period of the observation. The start-
stop distortion shall be considered positive when the significant instant occurs after the ideal instant and
conversely, negative when it occurs before.
Degree of synchronous start-stop distortion: the degree of start-stop distortion determined when the
assumed unit interval is that appropriate to the actual modulation rate.
The degree of synchronous start-stop distortion shall be measured by adjusting the scanning rate of the
distortion measuring set.
The start-stop distortion shall be considered positive when the significant instant occurs after the ideal
instant and conversely, negative when it occurs before.
For the determination of the actual mean modulation rate, account shall only be taken of those significant
instants of modulation (or restitution) that correspond to a change on the same sense as that occurring at
the beginning of the start element.
Initial carrier mode: a mode in which the Answer Mode Modem (AMM) transmits its carrier signal
immediately after the end of the auto answer sequence, and the Call Mode Modem (CMM) remains silent
until it receives a carrier signal from the AMM.
Modem: a functional unit that modulates and de-modulates signals in order to enable digital data to be
transmitted over analogue transmission facilities.
Modem used for reference: a modem used for some of the tests specified herein or in another modem
specific ETS. A modem used for reference may, at the discretion of the applicant, be provided by the
testing authority or by himself. It shall be designed:
- to meet the requirements of the same Recommendation(s) of the CCITT as the modem under test,
to the extent necessary for performing the tests;

---------------------- Page: 10 ----------------------

SIST ETS 300 115 E1:2003

ETS 300 115: June 1991
- to provide the functionalities for a modem used for reference that are specified in the relevant
testing Clauses; and
- to provide an interface which is accessible and of a type suitable for use in the tests (e.g. CCITT
Recommendation V.24 [5]).
Where the applicant has provided the modem used for reference and the test fails, the testing authority
may not be in a position to determine the precise reason for failure.
Modes of operation: modes specified in this modem specific ETS, that have an influence upon line signals
present at the PSTN interface.
Modes of use: modes specified in this modem specific ETS, that have an influence upon conditions
present at a digital interface e.g. a "conventional" CCITT Recommendation V.24 [5] interface or a PC bus
interface in the case of an integral modem .
On-line state: an electrical condition into which, when connected to the network, a modem is placed such
that it draws enough current to be capable of activating the exchange.
NOTE: Usually, a modem in the on-line state is potentially capable of sending or receiving
speech-band information to or from the network.

4 General requirements
4.1 References to other ETSs
The modem shall comply with ETS 300 114 [2]: Clause 4.
NOTE: ETS 300 114 [2] in turn refers to Draft prETS 300 001 [1] for the majority, if not all, of
its requirements.
4.2 Information to be provided by the applicant
4.2.1 Information required for testing purposes
The applicant shall declare which of the modes of operation/use identified in this ETS approval to Category
II is sought.
Compliance shall be considered to have been accomplished by provision of the relevant information.
NOTE: This could be accomplished by completion of a form such as the one provided in Annex
B (Informative).
4.2.2 Instructions for use
Instructions for use shall be made available with the apparatus. The instructions for use shall include:

---------------------- Page: 11 ----------------------

SIST ETS 300 115 E1:2003
Page 10
ETS 300 115: June 1991
a) the apparatus or types of apparatus to which the instructions apply;
b) any information specifically indicated in this ETS for inclusion in the "Instructions for use"; and
c) any national restrictions on the use of the apparatus.
Any additional information that has been included shall be disregarded unless it is subject of another ETS.
Compliance shall be checked by inspection.
5 Functional requirements specific to Category II modems
5.1 General requirements
To comply with the requirements of this ETS, it shall be necessary that the modem provide:
- duplex mode of operation with continuous carrier, as specified in CCITT Recommendation V.21 [4];
- channel separation by frequency division;
- frequency shift binary modulation;
- line signalling rates of up to 300 bit/s;
- initial carrier mode (see subclause 3.1, Definitions);
- where a modem is capable of transmitting in either of the two channels, means by which the
channels may be selected either manually and/or automatically.
In the following, references are made to interchange circuits between the modem and the DTE, as defined
in CCITT Recommendation V.24 [5]. DTEs using certain customised modems should not generally provide
an interface with such interchange circuits. For these cases the references to CCITT Recommendation
V.24 [5] type interchange circuits indicate equivalent functionality of a DTE and a modem.
5.2 Modes
It shall be possible to configure the modem to operate in at least one of the following modes of operation:
- provision for transmission in the answer mode;
- provision for transmission in the call mode.
It shall be the applicant's responsibility to specify for which of these modes of operation approval for
Category II is sought. An example of a proforma which requests the relevant information is attached at
Appendix B (Informative).
5.3 Line signals
The modem transmits on the low channel when receiving on the high channel, and vice versa, according to
the channel allocation requirements defined in subclause 5.4.
Note: The channels are referred to in CCITT Recommendation V.21 [4] as channel 1 and
channel 2. In order to retain a common presentation within this series of ETSs, this
ETS refers to channel 1 as the low channel and channel 2 as the high channel.
5.3.1 Carrier frequencies
The characteristic frequencies Fa and Fz as measured at the line terminals of the modem, shall not deviate
by more than ± 2 Hz from those given in Table 1.

Compliance shall be checked by the method described in Annex A, Clause A.2.
NOTE: The frequency tolerance is tighter than that specified by CCITT Recommendation V.21
[4].
5.3.2 Spectral power
The national network dependent spectral power limits are given in ETS 300 114 [2], Clause 4.
NOTE: This in turn refers to Draft prETS 300 001 [1].
5.4 Channel allocation
A CMM shall be capable of transmitting signals in the low channel and responding to signals received in the
high channel. An AMM shall be capable of transmitting signals in the high channel and responding to signals
received in the low channel.
Compliance shall be checked while performing the tests for subclauses 5.3.1 and 5.6.
5.4.1 Channel selection
Modems which are capable of being both a CMM and an AMM shall provide facilities for at least one of
the following techniques of channel selection:
a) manual selection of the channels using facilities provided on the modem;
b) selection of the channels by the DTE (equivalent: Cct 126 control);
c) automatic selection of the channel allocation as specified in subclause 5.4.2
NOTE: Other means of channel selection may also be provided, but verification of the correct
functioning of such facilities is not a requirement of this ETS.
For techniques a) and b), compliance shall be checked by the method described in Annex A, subclause
A.3.1.
5.4.2 Automatic channel selection
A modem providing this facility shall, in the absence of manual intervention or a contrary command e.g. via
a digital interface (equivalent: Cct 126), be automatically configured as:
a) a CMM when exchanging data on-line to another compatible modem and when the modem has
entered the on-line state other than in response to an incoming PSTN call;
b) an AMM when exchanging data on-line to another compatible modem and when the modem has
entered the on-line state in response to an incoming PSTN call.
Compliance shall be checked by the method described in Annex A, subclause A.3.2.

5.5 Response times
NOTE 1: The range of response times available in CCITT Recommendation V.21 [4] have been
reduced in order to avoid a potential incompatibility between different V.21 modems.
The constraint is applied in order to prevent loss of data on call establishment.
NOTE 2: CCITT Recommendation V.21 [4] does not require a modem for use on the PSTN to
detect an indication from a DTE that it wishes to transmit data (equivalent: turning ON
Cct 105). This mode of operation therefore falls outside the scope of approval as a
Category II modem.
5.5.1 Response times of the received line signal detector
The response times for received line signal detector are defined as the times that elapse between:
a) for the OFF to ON transition: the application of a tone corresponding to binary 1 at a level higher
than -43 dBm to the line terminals of the modem and an indication being given to the DTE that a
carrier signal has been detected (equivalent: turning ON Cct 109);
b) for the ON to OFF transition: removal of a tone corresponding to binary 1 from, or the level falling
instantaneously to below -48 dBm, at the line terminals of the modem and an indication being given
to the DTE that a carrier signal is no longer being detected (equivalent: turning OFF Cct 109).
The response times of the detector shall be within the limits stated in Table 2.
Table 2: Received line signal detector response times
�˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝�˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝�˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝»

¨˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝ˇ˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝ˇ˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝…
Compliance shall be checked by the method described in Annex A subclause A.4.1.
5.5.2 Response times of the Ready For Sending (RFS) indicator
The response times of the RFS indicator are defined as the times that elapse between:
a) for the OFF to ON transition: an indication being given to the DTE that a carrier signal has been
detected (equivalent: turning ON Cct 109) and an indication being given to the DTE that the modem
is ready to transmit data (equivalent: turning ON Cct 106);
b) for the ON to OFF transition: an indication being given to the DTE that a carrier signal is no longer
being detected (equivalent: turning OFF Cct 109) and an indication to the DTE that the modem is no
longer ready to transmit data (equivalent: turning OFF Cct 106).
The response time of the RFS OFF to ON transition shall be within the limits stated in Table 3.
Table 3: RFS indicator response times
�˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝�˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝�˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝»

¨˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝ˇ˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝ˇ˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝˝…
NOTE: The RFS ON to OFF delay has no effect upon the inter-operability between two
modems. Therefore, no requirement exists.
Compliance shall be checked by the method described in Annex A, subclause A.4.2.

5.6 Threshold of the received line signal detector
The requirements of subclause 5.4 shall apply.
Compliance shall be checked as described in Annex A, Clause A.5.
5.7 Provision of auto-calling and/or answering facilities (hand-shaking facilities)
5.7.1 Auto-calling - calling tone
This ETS does not require the provision of a calling tone, including that defined in CCITT Recommendation
V.25 [6].
5.7.2 Auto-calling - recognition of answering tone
For modems to be used for automatically originated calls, the modem, or its associated call establishment
equipment, shall comply with the requirements for answering tone detection given in ETS 300 114 [2],
subclause 5.2.1.
5.7.3 Auto-answering
For modems to be used for automatically answered calls, the modem, or its associated call answering
equipment, shall comply with the requirements for answering tone generation given in ETS 300 114 [2],
subclause 5.2.2.
5.8 Provision of test looping facilities
This ETS does not require the provision of the test looping facilities such as those defined in CCITT
Recommendation V.54 [7]. However, the provision of such facilities does not preclude the approval to
Category II.
5.9 Performance
NOTE : Since CCITT Recommendation V.21 [4] does not define performance criteria, the
requirements of this subclause are additional to the CCITT Recommendation.
5.9.1 Distortion
For each of the modes of operation for which approval as a Category II modem is sought, the following
applies.
When two modems of a compatible type are interconnected via:
a) Test Line 2 (see ETS 300 114 [2], Annexes B.6.4 and C.4) without transient impairments, the
degree of synchronous start-stop distortion measured at the received data output (equivalent: Cct
104) of the modem, shall not be greater than 25% at a line signalling rate of 300 bit/s.
Compliance shall be checked by the method described in Annex A, subclause A.6.1.
b) Test Line 1 (see ETS 300 114 [2], Annexes B.6.4 and C.3) without frequency offset and the
transient impairments, the degree of synchronous start-stop distortion measured at the received
data output (equivalent: Cct 104) of the modem, shall not be greater than 25%
...
