(GSM 03.45 version 7.0.1 Release 1998) 8 ETSI EN 300 931 V7.0.1 (2000-01)
1 Service definition
The fixed network Group 3 Facsimile service, as basically defined in CCITT Recommendation F.160, is an international
telematic service for ISO A4 document transmission between two facsimile stations.
The service specification is comprised of two parts: the control protocol described in CCITT Recommendation T.30,
and the document transmission coding described in CCITT Recommendation T.4.
The GSM facsimile Teleservice is intended to allow facsimile connections between group 3 apparatus using:
- a GSM PLMN as a stand alone facility, for mobile to mobile communication;
- a GSM PLMN to gain access to fixed networks PSTN and ISDN, for mobile to/from land communication.
For this Teleservice, the document coding is as CCITT Recommendation T.4 with no modifications. The protocol used
is CCITT Recommendation T.30 modified within the PLMN as detailed in the present document.
The interworking between different networks is based on CCITT Recommendation X.300.
The particular features of this Teleservice are:
- it uses point-point communication;
- the information transfer capability is dual "Speech"/"Group 3 Facsimile" for Teleservice 61 and "Group 3
Facsimile" only for Teleservice 62;
- both mobile originated and terminated calls are supported;
- the information transfer mode is circuit, duplex, synchronous and symmetric;
- different end-to-end transfer rates are used within the same call to take advantage of the better radio path error
rate;
- use of a standard synchronous terminal adaptation function (as per GSM 07.03) within the MS.

Figure 2/03.45: Reference configurations
The Teleservice definition in GSM 02.03 regards the group 3 facsimile terminal as a 2-wire analogue terminated
equipment. In order to connect this to the MT2 a separate "Fax Adaptor" device is necessary.
This configuration, shown in figure 2a/03.45, has to be considered as the standard configuration, so that all the existing
Group 3 facsimile apparatus can be connected to the PLMN.
An alternative realization would be to combine a standard group 3 facsimile machine and the Fax Adaptor into a
specially developed "GSM facsimile machine", directly providing a digital output. Although such a device must appear
to the MT2 as identical to the Fax Adaptor (i.e. with an identical interface and protocol), it would allow for a
significantly smaller and simpler facsimile machine. This configuration is shown in figure 2d/03.45 and is regarded as a
desirable alternative.
In addition of course, it is always possible to realize an MT0, as per figure 2f/03.45, where both the facsimile and
mobile termination functions are considered to be part of one integrated unit.
The remaining configurations concern the use of an S interface and are considered as optional configurations. Their use
is for further study.
The particular terminal adaptation functions used are those detailed in GSM 07.03 and the interface to the MT2 used is
synchronous V.24 with an option for support of V.25bis procedures for autocalling and autoanswering.

Whether it has to be a function internal to the GSM PLMN, or an external accessory associated with the Group 3
apparatus, is beyond the scope of the present document, and in any case, does not affect at all the working of the
procedure as here described.
It can be functionally partitioned in two sections:
- an analogue section, dealing with:
- the modulation and demodulation processes according to CCITT Recommendation V.21, V.27ter, V.29 and
V.17 as explained in T.4 and T.30;
- handling of the signalling on the 2-wire path to the facsimile machine, including autocalling and autoanswer
functions where necessary (see clause 6).
- a digital section, dealing with:
- monitoring and where necessary, manipulation of the T.30 protocol as detailed in the rest of the present
document;
- overall control of the adaptor;
- connection over the synchronous V.24 interface to the MT as described in GSM 07.03;
- where necessary, autocalling and autoanswering functions according to V.25bis.
In the following this specification will reference the Fax Adaptor functionality, considering the most general case where
it operates as a full-featured (see figure 3/03.45) separate block (see figure 2a/03.45), as this reference configuration is
implicitly or explicitly exhaustive of all service related technical aspects.
3.2 GSM Facsimile Machine functionality
The special GSM facsimile machine shown in the MS configuration of figure 2d/03.45 has a similar functionality to the
digital part of the Fax Adaptor, but without any of the analogue portions.
It appears over the V.24 interface as identical to the Fax Adaptor, i.e. the MT2 needs to have no knowledge of the
particular configuration used.
When necessary this reference configuration, will be explicitly referenced to in the following; otherwise all technical
aspects relevant to the configuration implicitly apply.

All transitions from one combination in table 1a/03.45 to another combination in the same table, must be supported by
the MS, as long as the fax modem rate is kept constant or the transition of fax modem rate is performed in steps of 2,4
