Overview - ISO 2629:1973 (Basic mode control procedures: Conversational information message transfer)
ISO 2629:1973 is a short International Standard that extends the basic mode control procedures described in ISO/R 1745 to support fast, conversational information transfer between two terminals while remaining in Phase 3 (information transfer). Published in 1973, it defines how two stations on a data link can reverse master/slave roles and exchange information messages in an inquiry/response style interaction without re-establishing the link.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Phase 3 extension: Allows reversal of information transfer direction (master/slave reversal) while remaining in Phase 3 of the basic mode.
- Conversation rules:
- An information message sent in the opposite direction may replace a positive acknowledgement (ACK) under controlled conditions.
- Replacement is permitted only when the received message is terminated by ETX (or DLE ETX), not ETB (DLE ETB).
- The opening character of the returned message (e.g., STX, SOH, DLE STX, DLE SOH) is treated as a positive acknowledgement.
- An information message must never substitute for a negative acknowledgement (NAK).
- Security and error control:
- Systems may use block checking and ACK/NAK supervisory sequences to preserve link integrity.
- Numbering schemes (forward and/or backward) are recommended to avoid duplication or loss when reversals occur.
- Recovery procedures:
- If no reply or an invalid reply is received, the sender should repeat the information message or send ENQ to request a retransmission.
- Repeated transmissions can cause block duplication; robust numbering is necessary to detect and correct duplicates.
- Applicability limits:
- Intended for terminals where an operator plays a role (conversational/inquiry-response systems).
- Systems that embed supervisory/control information within messages or rely on operator procedures are not covered.
Applications and who uses it
ISO 2629 is applicable to designers and implementers of legacy and constrained data-communication systems that require:
- Conversational, half-duplex or reversible data exchange without leaving an established information-transfer phase.
- Inquiry/response terminal interactions (e.g., remote terminals, transaction inquiry systems).
- Protocol designers implementing basic-mode control behavior consistent with ISO/R 1745.
Typical users: standards engineers, protocol implementers, telecommunications equipment designers, and system integrators working with archival or standards-compliant data link procedures.

FOREWORD
IS0 (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation
of national standards institutes (IS0 Member Bodies). The work of developing
International Standards is carried out through IS0 Technical Committees. Every
Member Body interested in a subject for which a Technical Committee has been set
up has the right to be represented on that Committee. International organizations,
governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with KO, also take part in the work.
Draft International Standards adopted by the Technical Committees are circulated
as International
to the Member Bodies for approval before their acceptance
Standards by the IS0 Council.
International Standard IS0 2629 was drawn up by Technical Committee
Computers and information processing.
