Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN); Attachment requirements for packet mode terminal equipment to connect to an ISDN using ISDN basic access
This TBR will define the attachment requirements for packet-mode terminals to access the ISDN packet-mode bearer service using an ISDN basic access. Only essential requirements contained in ETS 300 007 will be covered. This TBR will form the basis of CTR 033 in accordance with the scope from TRAC.

Foreword
This Technical Basis for Regulation (TBR) has been produced by the Signalling Protocols and Switching
(SPS) Technical Committee of the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI).
This TBR resulted from a mandate from the Commission of the European Community (CEC) to provide
harmonized standards for the support of the Council Directive 91/263/EEC ("The Terminal Equipment
Directive").
Annex F provides information relating to the articles of the Directive 91/263/EEC.
Annexes A, B, C, D, E and G are normative whereas annexes F, H and J are informative.
Overview of the Abstract Test Suites (ATSs)
This TBR is accompanied by the following ATSs (see annexes B, C and D):
- T33L1_7 (layer 1);
- T33L2_3 (layer 2);
- T33L3_5 (layer 3).

1 Scope
This Technical Basis for Regulation (TBR) specifies the technical requirements under articles 4(c) to 4(f)
of Directive 91/263/EEC for Terminal Equipment (TE) to be attached to the pan-European Integrated
Services Digital Network (ISDN) at an interface at the T reference point or coincident S and T reference
point for a basic access. These requirements are intended to ensure that the essential requirements of
Directive 91/263/EEC continue to be met when up to eight Terminal Equipments are simultaneously
connected at the coincident S and T reference point. These requirements are taken from TBR 3 [9],
ETS 300 007 [10], ETS 300 047-3 [12], ETS 300 012 [11], ETS 300 102-1 [13] and ETS 300 125 [14].
This TBR does not contain the essential requirements of Article 4 (g) for interworking via the public
network, and so does not provide any guarantee of correct terminal-to-terminal operation.
NOTE 1: Although this TBR provides the technical attachment requirements, it does not contain
the full specification of the user side of the ISDN user-network interface. Important
information necessary for correct working can be found only in the base standards
mentioned above.
This TBR specifies these requirements for TE that:
a) access Packet Handler (PH) of an ISDN through either on-demand B- or D-channel mode or
semi-permanent B-channel mode basic services (case B of X.31) and those supplementary
services that are specified in annex G; and
b) is capable of handling either incoming calls only, outgoing calls only or both incoming and outgoing
calls.
This TBR applies to all TE that is intended for connection to the forms of ISDN access referred to above,
irrespective of whether the TE provides additional interfaces, telecommunications services or functions for
which other TBRs or national approval requirements apply.
This TBR does not specify the requirements for a packet mode TE that uses on-demand B-channel circuit
mode access (case A of X.31); the requirements for such a TE are contained in TBR 3 [9].
NOTE 2: This TBR is not applicable to TE which may be supplied in some countries for
connection to an ISDN telecommunications service corresponding to, but not
compatible with, the pan-European ISDN basic access standards.

Foreword
This Technical Basis for Regulation (TBR) has been produced by the Signalling Protocols and Switching
(SPS) Technical Committee of the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI).
This TBR resulted from a mandate from the Commission of the European Community (CEC) to provide
harmonized standards for the support of the Council Directive 91/263/EEC ("The Terminal Equipment
Directive").
Annex F provides information relating to the articles of the Directive 91/263/EEC.
Annexes A, B, C, D, E and G are normative whereas annexes F, H and J are informative.
Overview of the Abstract Test Suites (ATSs)
This TBR is accompanied by the following ATSs (see annexes B, C and D):
- T33L1_7 (layer 1);
- T33L2_3 (layer 2);
- T33L3_5 (layer 3).

1 Scope
This Technical Basis for Regulation (TBR) specifies the technical requirements under articles 4(c) to 4(f)
of Directive 91/263/EEC for Terminal Equipment (TE) to be attached to the pan-European Integrated
Services Digital Network (ISDN) at an interface at the T reference point or coincident S and T reference
point for a basic access. These requirements are intended to ensure that the essential requirements of
Directive 91/263/EEC continue to be met when up to eight Terminal Equipments are simultaneously
connected at the coincident S and T reference point. These requirements are taken from TBR 3 [9],
ETS 300 007 [10], ETS 300 047-3 [12], ETS 300 012 [11], ETS 300 102-1 [13] and ETS 300 125 [14].
This TBR does not contain the essential requirements of Article 4 (g) for interworking via the public
network, and so does not provide any guarantee of correct terminal-to-terminal operation.
NOTE 1: Although this TBR provides the technical attachment requirements, it does not contain
the full specification of the user side of the ISDN user-network interface. Important
information necessary for correct working can be found only in the base standards
mentioned above.
This TBR specifies these requirements for TE that:
a) access Packet Handler (PH) of an ISDN through either on-demand B- or D-channel mode or
semi-permanent B-channel mode basic services (case B of X.31) and those supplementary
services that are specified in annex G; and
b) is capable of handling either incoming calls only, outgoing calls only or both incoming and outgoing
calls.
This TBR applies to all TE that is intended for connection to the forms of ISDN access referred to above,
irrespective of whether the TE provides additional interfaces, telecommunications services or functions for
which other TBRs or national approval requirements apply.
This TBR does not specify the requirements for a packet mode TE that uses on-demand B-channel circuit
mode access (case A of X.31); the requirements for such a TE are contained in TBR 3 [9].
NOTE 2: This TBR is not applicable to TE which may be supplied in some countries for
connection to an ISDN telecommunications service corresponding to, but not
compatible with, the pan-European ISDN basic access standards.
2 Normative references
This TBR 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 TBR only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references the
