SIST ETS 300 415 E2:2003 is the Slovenian standard identical to ETS 300 415 Edition 2 from the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI). It defines the terms and definitions used in standards on Private Integrated Services Network (PISN), so engineers, network administrators, and standards writers can use the same vocabulary for PISN capabilities, numbering, links, connections, and mobility.

What does SIST ETS 300 415 E2:2003 specify?

SIST ETS 300 415 E2:2003 specifies the common terminology for technical work on PISNs. Its scope is limited to technical meaning and interpretation, and it is organized as Scope, Normative reference, Abbreviations, Terms and definitions, and four informative annexes with an alphabetical index.

Annex	What it covers
Annex A	Relationship between communication needs, service provision, and connection establishment
Annex B	Additional information on VPN and CN
Annex C	Bibliography
Annex D	Index

The standard is meant to keep later PISN-related ETSs consistent with one another. In practice, that matters because the same word can appear in several network specifications, and this document fixes the meaning.

What are the key requirements of SIST ETS 300 415 E2:2003?

Core vocabulary and compliance

Clause 1 says SIST ETS 300 415 E2:2003 defines terms commonly used in ETSs on PISN, and that the point is to guide further specification and preserve consistent interpretation. It also states that an ETS is in compliance if it uses the terms with the meanings defined here.

This means later standards should not redefine these core words in a different way when they refer to PISN concepts. The scope also keeps the definitions on the technical side and leaves legal and regulatory issues outside that technical vocabulary.

Network and node roles

Clause 4 defines the central network entities: public, private, PISN, Corporate telecommunication Network (CN), and Private Integrated services Network eXchange (PINX), with subtypes Integrated Services Private Branch eXchange (ISPBX) and Integrated Services CenTralized eXchange (ISCTX). It also defines call related PINX functionality, including end-PINX, transit-PINX, and gateway-PINX roles.

For a reader, this tells you how to describe a private network, its exchanges, and the functions each exchange performs in calls. That is useful when specifying architecture, where equipment is placed, and which node handles attachment, interconnection, or access to other networks.

Links, connections, and network interworking

Clause 4 also defines Terminal Equipment (TE), Link, Inter-PINX Link (IPL), access link, user, PISN administrator, InterVening Network (IVN), InterConnecting Network (ICN), and Virtual Private Network (VPN). It then defines Connection, Dedicated connection, Semi-permanent connection, Switched connection, and the two switched variants: per call and long duration.

These distinctions matter when choosing how traffic is carried and who controls the resources. Annex A supports this topic by showing how communication needs relate to service provision and connection establishment.

Numbering and addressing

Clause 4.20 defines Address, Number, Private Numbering Plan (PNP) number, PISN number, and several numbering plans, including the ISDN numbering plan, PNP, unknown numbering plan, and PISN numbering plan. The only normative reference is CCITT Recommendation E.164, which supports the ISDN numbering plan definition.

This section matters whenever a PISN must identify users, terminals, or destinations in a structured way. It gives the vocabulary needed to document dialing plans and the numbering domain chosen by a PISN administrator.

Mobility terms

Clause 4.21 defines PISN Mobility and the related terms Authentication, Coverage area, Visitor area, Handover, Roaming, Home Data Base (HDB), and Visitor Data Base (VDB). These terms apply to cordless and mobile use within a PISN context.

In practice, these definitions help when specifying how users move, how their location is recorded, and how calls continue during movement. That is important for systems that combine fixed and mobile access.

Additional service terms

Clause 4.17 defines (PISN) Service, and clause 4.18 defines Additional Network Feature (ANF). These terms separate ordinary service provision from extra functions above a basic call.

That distinction helps when writing service descriptions, because ANF can involve entities inside the network rather than the end user alone.

What terms does SIST ETS 300 415 E2:2003 define?

• PISN - A Private Integrated Services Network serving a pre-determined set of users.
• PINX - A PISN nodal entity that provides automatic switching and call handling functions.
• CN - A Corporate telecommunication Network, defined the same way as PISN in this standard.
• VPN - The part of a CN that uses shared switched network infrastructures provided by third parties.
• IPC - An Inter-PINX Connection between two PINXs to support inter-PINX communication.
• PNP - A Private Numbering Plan defined by the administrator of that private numbering domain.
• HDB - The Home Data Base that stores current location and related parameters.
• VDB - The Visitor Data Base that stores location information while a user is in the visitor area.

Who uses SIST ETS 300 415 E2:2003?

SIST ETS 300 415 E2:2003 is used by standards writers, telecom network engineers, PISN administrators, and people specifying network equipment or services for private telecom networks. It is also relevant to organizations working with ISDN, VPN, inter-PINX connections, numbering plans, and mobility functions, because these groups need the same vocabulary when designing, documenting, or reviewing PISN-related systems.

What changed in SIST ETS 300 415 E2:2003 from the previous edition?

SIST ETS 300 415 E2:2003 is the second edition and is a revision of ETS 300 415 Edition 1 to include new terms and definitions. The foreword also states that this second edition supersedes CEN/CENELEC ENV 41007-1, and that the terms PISN and PINX replace the earlier PTN and PTNX usage for consistent worldwide terminology.

Which standards are used with SIST ETS 300 415 E2:2003?

The normative reference is CCITT Recommendation E.164, which provides the basis for the ISDN numbering plan definition.

Annex C lists related references that give context for this vocabulary: ITU-T Recommendation I.112 for ISDN terminology, ITU-T Recommendation I.411 for ISDN user-network reference configurations, Draft IEC 50(715) for telecommunication vocabulary, ISO/IEC 11579-1 and ETS 300 475-1 for PINX/PTNX reference configurations, and ETR 076 for ISDN standards guidance.

What does the SIST ETS 300 415 E2:2003 document contain?

The document contains a foreword, scope, one normative reference, an abbreviations list, and clause 4 with the main definitions arranged in logical order. It also includes Annex A with a relationship figure for communication needs, service provision, and connection establishment. Annex B adds background on VPN and CN, Annex C gives the bibliography, and Annex D is an alphabetical index to the defined terms.

1 Scope
This second edition European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) defines terms commonly used in ETSs
on the subject of Private Integrated Services Networks (PISNs). The purpose of defining terms and
definitions is to guide the further specification of PISN capabilities and to permit consistency of
interpretation between ETSs containing such specifications.
The terms and definitions given in this ETS apply to the technical aspects of PISNs. They do not address
legal or regulatory issues.
An ETS shall be deemed to be in compliance with this ETS if it uses terms with the meanings as defined
by this ETS.
Terms not defined here may be defined context-specific in the relevant standards or technical reports.
2 Normative reference
This ETS incorporates by dated and 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 only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references the latest
edition of the publication referred to applies.
[1] CCITT Recommendation E.164 (1991): "Numbering plan for the ISDN era".

4 Terms and definitions
The following subclauses are arranged in logical order. An alphabetical index is to be found at the end of
this ETS.
NOTE: Draft IEC 50(715) has been used as the basis for the preparation of this ETS. The
suitability of other definitions of that document will be considered as a subject arises.
4.1 Public
An attribute indicating that the application of an item qualified by "public", e.g. a network, a unit of
equipment, a service, is offered to the general public. This attribute does not indicate any aspects of
ownership.
NOTE: This definition does not include legal or regulatory aspects.

Page 8
ETS 300 415: October 1996
4.2 Private
An attribute indicating that the application of an item qualified by "private", e.g. a network, a unit of
equipment, a service, is offered to a pre-determined set of users. This attribute does not indicate any
aspects of ownership.
NOTE: This definition does not include legal or regulatory aspects.
4.3 Private Integrated Services Network (PISN)
A network serving a pre-determined set of users (different from a public network which provides services
to the general public). The attribute "private" does not indicate any aspects of ownership.
NOTE 1: This definition does not include legal or regulatory aspects.
NOTE 2: PISNs may extend over large geographical areas. This definition does not imply any
specific implementation.
NOTE 3: In facilitating the evolution towards the consistent world-wide use of the term "PISN",
the previously used term "Private telecommunication network (PTN)" is superseded by
the term "PISN". This will not invalidate the scope of the services standardized by ETSI
for PTNs.
4.4 Corporate telecommunication Network (CN)
The same definition as for subclause 4.3, "Private Integrated Services Network (PISN)", applies. Annex B
provides additional information.
4.5 Private Integrated services Network eXchange (PINX)
A PISN nodal entity that provides automatic switching and call handling functions used for the provision of
telecommunication services. The nodal entity can be implemented by one or more pieces of equipment
located on the premises of the private network administrator or by equipment co-located with, or physically
part of, a public network.
NOTE 1: If applicable, a PINX provides to users of the same and/or other private integrated
services network exchanges:
- telecommunication services within its own area; and/or
- telecommunication services from the public ISDN; and/or
- telecommunication services from other public or private networks; and/or
- within the context of a PISN, telecommunication services from other PINXs.
NOTE 2: In facilitating the evolution towards the consistent world-wide use of the term "PINX",
the previously used term "Private telecommunication network exchange (PTNX)" is
superseded by the term "PINX". This will not invalidate the scope of the services
standardized by ETSI for PTNs.
A PINX may perform the functions of one or more of the node types given in subclauses 4.5.1 and 4.5.2.
4.5.1 Integrated Services Private Branch eXchange (ISPBX)
The implementation of a PINX offering ISDN-like capabilities, separate from public network equipment.
NOTE: An ISPBX is usually located on the premises of a private network administrator.
4.5.2 Integrated Services CenTralized eXchange (ISCTX)
The implementation of a PINX offering ISDN-like capabilities, as part of public network equipment.
NOTE: An ISCTX is usually located on the premises of a public network operator.
