Foreword
This amendment to ETS 300 347-1 (1994) has been produced by the Signalling Protocols and Switching
(SPS) Technical Committee of the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI).
This amendment contains changes of clauses, subclauses and annexes of ETS 300 347-1 (1994) as
detailed below.
Transfer of V5.1 amendments (ETS 300 324-1/A1)
Annex C, item 5): According to annex C, item 5), the receiving entity of an unblock request
message is allowed to send no response back because it does not agree with
the unblock request. But then it is not possible for the sender of the unblock
request to distinguish between such a disagreement and a mismatch of the port
FSMs which has to be resolved by a block-unblock sequence.
Amendment: To avoid a situation where the FSMs stay undetected misaligned,
the receiver of a MPH-UBR shall respond to an unblock request within a certain
time limit.
Annex C, item 12): The text concerning re-provisioning verification is clarified.
Annex C, item 13): Initial state of the ISDN user port FSM, PSTN user port FSM and PSTN protocol
after system start up is not defined clearly.
Amendment: The system startup procedure is clarified. The SDL diagrams in
annex L are adapted accordingly.
It is stated that the interface and the variant ID shall be checked during system
startup. No procedure exists for the case of an unsuccessful check.
Amendment: The treatment of a unsuccessful system startup is be the same as
in the case of an unsuccessful restart (refer to annex C, item 14 b), last
paragraph).
Annex C, item 14): This item defines an asymmetrical PSTN restart procedure (master-slave
relationship). This leads to a lock-up situation if the restart is required from both
sides at the same point in time.
Amendment: The restart procedure is defined in a symmetrical way. The SDL
diagrams in annex L are adapted accordingly.
Annex C, item 17): If TC3 expires only on one side of the V5.1 interface, a mismatch of the PSTN
protocol FSMs after a re-establishment of the PSTN_DL can persist.
Amendment: The PSTN restart procedure is added in case of a re-
establishment of the PSTN_DL.
Annex C, table C.1: "Cause for start" of Timer TC2 is wrong.
Amendment: The cause for start is corrected.
Annex L, figure L.15.2: Figure L.15.2 is contradictory to annex C, item 13), which requires that the
variant and interface ID shall be checked during system start-up. Figure L.15.2
shows only a check of the interface ID.
Amendment: Update the figure by adding a decision for the correct variant.

Editorial
General: To be in line with existing definitions in the V5 standards, the "local manager"
and "system manager" are changed to "system management" in several places.
Clause 2: Update the normative reference to ETS 300 324-1 to include the amendment.
Subclause 13.5: Incorrect reference given where the code sets are defined. Change to the same
reference given by ETS 300 324-1.
Subclause 15.3.3.3.4: Correction of the state "Access Operational" that should be changed to
Operational to be in line with V5.1.
Subclause 15.3.3.3.4: In third paragraph, change the action to go from one state to another as "return
to" instead of "reset".
Clause 16, figure 11: The invisible text is reconstituted from an earlier version.
Subclause 16.2.4.5: A note is added about the sending of a notification to system management.
Subclause 16.3.1.1: Reconstitute the missing part of the table.
Subclause 16.3.2: The Link Control Function IE is defined differently in two separate places. The
value given in table M.2 (00110000) is correct.
Subclause 17.4.2.5: In table 42, the cause "V5 link unavailable (blocked)" missing. The cause with
diagnostic and length is added.
Subclause 17.4.2.6: An incorrect reference to subclause 17.5.8 is corrected.
Subclause 17.4.2.7: There are inconsistencies in the specification of the BCC protocol specification
element "Connection incomplete". The value in table 40 is correct and figure 24
is incorrect.
Subclause 17.5.5.2: Delete the duplicated word "entity".
Subclause 17.5.8: Subclause 17.5.8, third paragraph, states that a message with more than two
optional information elements shall be considered as too long, but in
subclause 17.3.8, up to three optional information elements are possible in the
AUDIT COMPLETE message in order to indicate an extent complete
connection.
Subclause 17.5.8.4: Split the subclause in two subclauses, one for mandatory and another (new) for
optional repeated information elements.
Subclause 17.6: There are inconsistencies between table 46 and table 47 in the BCC protocol.
Table 46 is changed to be consistent with table 47.
Subclause 17.7: In table 47 an unnecessary state is included for event MDU-BCC (Allocation
request) and state Bcc null (LEBcc0). Remove the "no state change" notation.
Subclause 18.3.2: In table 49, MDU "reset SN req" is not used in AN. It is mentioned in the ETS
only at this place and should therefore be deleted.
Subclause 18.3.2: PROTOCOL_ERROR PDU is missing in table 49.
Subclause 18.4.5: Table 56 contains a wrong reference for the IE Rejection Cause.
Subclause 18.4.6: Table 57 contains wrong references for the IE Logical C-channel identification,
Sequence number and Rejection Cause.

ETS 300 347-1: September 1994/A1: May 1997
Subclause 18.6.2.3.1: An incorrect reference to subclause 18.6.2.2 is given.
Subclause 18.6.6.3: Change the subclause title by adding "mandatory" to be consistent with the text.
Subclause 18.8.2: Undefined protection protocol messages: (Wrong message name)
The message OS SWITCH-OVER REQ is defined in state SOLE0 and SOLE2
and can therefore be replaced by OS SWITCH-OVER COM.
Subclause 18.8.2: In table 66, the action in the protection protocol FSM contradicts
subclause 18.6.2.3.1 in state SOLE0 and event MDU-prot(OS-switch-over com).
Replace "-" by "MDU-prot(reset SN error ind)".
Annex L, figure L.6: Some MDU-Protection primitives are missing for SR_PROTECT_SYSMGT:
reset SN com, reset SN ind, reset SN ack and Protocol error indication.
Annex L, figure L.29: Some MDU-Protection primitives are missing for SR_PROTECT_SYSMGT:
reset SN com, reset SN ind, reset SN ack, reset SN req and Protocol error
indication.
Annex L, figure L.33.2: In the bottom diagram, the symbol for the message LINK CONTROL ACK has
the wrong direction.
Annex L, figure L.36.4: The cause for start of timer TSO4 is misalignment of sequence numbers VP(S)
or VP(R) and repetition at the first timeout. Initialization of the sequence
numbers V(P) or V(P) is only done in the procedure for misaligned handling
according to figure L.14. This procedure is applied at the AN side and LE side.
When a misalignment is detected and TSO4 is running, there will be no further
protocol messages apart from RESET SN COM. Therefore, the sequence
numbers remain in their initialization values.
Amendment: Both figures L.13.4 and L.36.4 are corrected with a task symbol to
initialize VP(S) and V(P) before start of TSO4.
Annex L, figure L.36.5: A stop of timer TSO2 is missing in the bottom left branch.
Annex L, figure L.36.7: In the bottom diagram, the symbol for the message RESET SN ACK has the
wrong direction.
Annex M, table M.1: The following code points missing: RESET SN COM, RESET SN ACK and
PROTOCOL ERROR. Table M.1 is inconsistent with table 51.
Annex M, table M.2: The given values for EFaddr and V5DLaddr are not in line with table 1.
Technical
Annex C, item 14): This item defines the PSTN restart procedure in an asymmetrical way. This can
lead to a deadlock situation if the restart is requested from the AN and the LE at
the same time. Therefore a symmetrical restart procedure is proposed to cope
with this situation. For the V5.1 interface specification (ETS 300 324-1), the
necessary changes have been introduced via an amendment. This amendment
contains detailed text and SDL diagrams to provide the symmetrical PSTN
restart procedure for the V5.2 interface specification.
Amendment: The new text combines the two items 14 a) and 14 b) of annex C
into one. Because of the proposed symmetry, the PSTN restart procedure
becomes nearly independent of internal or external triggering. Internal triggering
describes the PSTN restart within system start-up or after PSTN-DL failure.
External triggering implies the PSTN restart after reception of a restart request
from the control protocol entity.

SIST ETS 300 347-1:1997/A1:1998
Page 6
ETS 300 347-1: September 1994/A1: May 1997
As far as the SDL diagrams are concerned, the restart procedure appears as
one of many other independent processes which make up the V5 system
management. There are no global states for the system management (like in the
V5.1 case). This independence of the triggering of the restart procedure makes
it easier to cope with the necessary changes and to produce a clean version of
the SDL diagrams.
Annex E, clause E.6: Link failure: In a number of exceptional cases where connections established in
the AN are unusable it is not specified how the AN time slot resource manager
behaves. In these cases, unnecessary messages used to de-allocate time slots
may aggravate the situation due to limited processing and transfer capacity. The
amendment intends to avoid different interpretation. It chooses the solution
which requires the least number of messages to clear a critical situation.
Amendment: In case of a link failure recognized by the LE, the LE may block the
link to make sure that the AN recognizes the situation. The AN's resource
manager shall than de-allocate all time slots concerned internally. The LE does
not need to send de-allocate commands for the individual time slots.
In case of AN internal fault reported by an AN FAULT message which contains
both the time slot and the port layer 3 address (and, in case of ISDN, the
B-channel), no de-allocate command is required to be sent by the LE. In case
that the AN is not able to indicate both ends of the allocation (the AN FAULT
message contains either only the time slot or the port's layer 3 address and, in
case of ISDN, the B-channel) the LE shall send a de-allocate message for the
allocation concerned to make sure that both ends are available for new
allocations.
Enhancement of port unblocking
Subclause 3.1: Technical (Port state alignment procedure after interface start up):
Add a new definition of the relevant user port due to the accelerated port
unblocking (refer to subclause 15.4).
Subclause 15.4: Technical (Port state alignment procedure after interface start up).

Insert a new subclause 8.7.4:
"8.7.4 Flow control using LAPV5-DL mechanisms
LAPV5-DL provides flow control mechanisms. Details are defined in subclause 10.4.
NOTE: LAPV5-DL, as specified in clause 10, provides flow control mechanisms for the V5
data links using e.g. RNR or RR frames. These procedures shall also be used to
control the flow of V5 messages at layer 3. This means, if one side is not able to
receive V5 messages at layer 3 this should be indicated to the peer side via the
existing mechanisms at layer 2 (i.e. via RNR frames).
Furthermore, if the peer layer 2 entity indicates via existing mechanisms at layer 2 that
the peer side is currently in an overload situation, layer 3 shall not initiate sending of
new V5 messages, but wait until the overload situation has disappeared. This includes,
that re-transmission timers shall not be started until the overload situation has
disappeared.
The above mechanisms require co-ordination between layer 2 and layer 3 via system
management."

Replace the state name "Operational" (AN2.0) to "Access Operational" (AN2.0).
Page 42, subclause 15.3.3.3.4, fourth paragraph
Replace the first sentence of the fourth paragraph by:
"For AN and LE, when in "Remote unblock" (AN1.2x, LE1.2x) state and receiving FE204 or FE203
respectively, the port state FSM is returned back to "Blocked" (AN1.0, LE1.0), and a MPH-BI sent to
management."

The restart procedure shall be invoked by the system management in the AN or LE or by the OS.
Subclauses L.1.8.4 and L.2.8.4 in annex L provide the SDL description of the restart procedure.
Only for the PSTN protocol a specific restart procedure is defined. For the control protocol, the
system management shall use the port blocking procedure, if required. For the link control protocol,
the system management shall use the link blocking procedure if required.
A restart procedure shall be initiated:
a) during a system start-up as described in item 13);
b) after a PSTN-V5DL failure as described in item 17); or
c) if a MDU-CTRL(restart request) is received from the control protocol entity.

MDU-CTRL(restart ack) indications from all PSTN protocol entities have been received, a
MDU-CTRL(restart complete) indication shall be sent to all PSTN protocol entities.
Upon expire of timer TR1 or TR2 a notification of the unsuccessful restart shall be given to the
maintenance entity.
If the timer expire occurs during the system start-up, a system integrity process shall ensure that
the system start-up is repeated periodically (e.g. every 5 minutes)."

SDL description of the accelerated alignment procedure. The procedure is defined as follows:
a) When alignment for all ports of the interface is necessary a MDU-CTRL(UNBLOCK ALL
RELEVANT PORTS REQUEST) shall be sent to the control protocol entity. Timer TU1 shall
be started.
Upon reception of MDU-CTRL(UNBLOCK ALL RELEVANT PORTS ACCEPTED) from the
