Foreword
This Interim European Telecommunication Standard (I-ETS) has been produced by the Terminal
Equipment (TE) Technical Committee of the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI).
An ETSI standard may be given I-ETS status either because it is regarded as a provisional solution ahead
of a more advanced standard, or because it is immature and requires a "trial period". The life of an I-ETS
is limited to three years after which it can be converted into an ETS, have it's life extended for a further
two years, be replaced by a new version, or be withdrawn.
Proposed announcement date
Date of adoption of this I-ETS: 17 November 1995
Date of latest announcement of this I-ETS (doa): 31 March 1996

1 Scope
This I-ETS specifies the technical characteristics (electrical, functional, visual and acoustic) for
videotelephony terminals to be used at the basic access of the coincident S and T interface of the
Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN). The characteristics of this I-ETS are meant to specify
characteristics that are outside the scope of attachment standards or specifications, and outside the
scope of standards specifying the end-to-end characteristics for videotelephony terminals. However, this I-
ETS is not intended to be used for type approval purposes or other mandatory requirements.
This I-ETS is applicable to videotelephony terminals as well as to the videotelephony functions of
multimedia or multiservice terminals.
This I-ETS is applicable to terminal equipment supporting the videotelephony teleservice in the ISDN as
defined in ETS 300 264 [1].
The characteristics specified in this I-ETS will cover a number of functions or facilities that can be
combined to form a particular terminal.
For multimedia or multiservice terminals, other requirements or standards may apply in addition to this
I-ETS.
The requirements of this I-ETS do not apply to videoconference terminals. Requirements to
videoconference terminals are specified in other standards.

5 Attachment requirements
Attachment requirements are outside the scope of this I-ETS.
NOTE: Information about type approval requirements can be found in annex B to this I-ETS.
6 System description
A system description of a videotelephone terminal is given in ETS 300 145 [10]. All terminals shall be
capable of supporting the videotelephony teleservice as specified in ETS 300 264 [1] and the telephony
3,1 kHz teleservice as specified in ETS 300 111 [7].
Terminal types Xb2/3 and Xb5, as defined in ETS 300 145 [10], shall also be capable of supporting the
telephony 7 kHz teleservice as specified in ETS 300 263 [8].
Conformance shall be checked by verifying that the requirements of the relevant clauses in this I-ETS, or
the requirements of standards referred to, be met.
7 Terminal-network characteristics
7.1 Call control functions for the videotelephony teleservice
The call control functions at the user-network interface shall meet the relevant requirements of
ETS 300 102-1 [11] and ETS 300 267-1 [12].
Conformance shall be checked by using the tests specified in these ETSs.
NOTE: ETS 300 267-1 [12] specifies the layer 3 requirements for the videotelephony
teleservice as described in ETS 300 263 [8]. Additional characteristics as well as short
term solutions will be described in prI-ETS 300 654 ("Integrated Services Digital
Network (ISDN); Videotelephony terminals, Interim D-channel signalling aspects").
7.2 Call control functions for the telephony 3,1 kHz teleservice
The call control functions at the user-network interface shall meet the relevant requirements of
I-ETS 300 245-1 [13] and ETS 300 102-1 [11].
Conformance shall be checked by using the tests specified in this ETS and I-ETS.
7.3 Call control functions for the telephony 7 kHz teleservice
Where the speech coding option according to CCITT Recommendation G.722 [14] is implemented, the
call control functions at the user-network interface shall meet the relevant requirements of ETS 300 102-1
[11], ETS 300 267-1 [12] and I-ETS 300 245-1 [13].
Conformance shall be checked by using the tests specified in these ETSs and I-ETS.
7.4 Support of supplementary services in the ISDN
7.4.1 General
If two B-channels are required the ISDN supplementary services shall be invoked for each call. There are
other restrictions related to the videotelephony teleservice due to coding algorithms and the inband
signalling system.
7.4.2 Supplementary services, Multiple Subscriber Number/Subaddressing
7.4.2.1 Address checking
A terminal connected to an ISDN basic access can be selected by using the Multiple Subscriber Number
(MSN) and/or Subaddressing (SUB) supplementary services, if present.

---------------------- Page: 12 ----------------------

SIST I-ETS 300 442 E1:2003
Page 11
I-ETS 300 442: December 1995
Only one ISDN number or subaddress shall be allocated to the videotelephony function of a terminal.
Where two B-channels are required, the same ISDN number or subaddress shall be used for both
connections (however, see note).
If the terminal, as an option, supports the MSN and/or SUB supplementary services and information for
selection is stored, a terminal connected to an ISDN basic access shall perform address checks on the
ISDN subscriber number and/or subaddress, if present in the incoming SETUP message. These checks
are additional to the compatibility checks referred to in subclauses 7.1 to 7.3.
Conformance shall be checked by using the relevant tests specified in I-ETS 300 322 [15].
NOTE: Regions outside Europe may allocate separate numbers to the two B-channels used.
For interworking with those regions and with non-ISDN video equipment on non-ISDN
networks, it may be necessary to use different destination numbers.
7.4.2.2 No selection information stored
When no information for selection is stored, the terminal shall respond to every incoming SETUP
message if the compatibility checks specified in subclauses 7.1 to 7.3 are successful.
Conformance shall be checked by using the relevant tests specified in I-ETS 300 322 [15].
7.4.2.3 Programming
Off-line programming and erasing of information for selection (MSN and/or SUB) shall be available to the
human user.
Conformance shall be checked by inspection.
7.4.3 Support of conference supplementary services
The conference supplementary services offered by the ISDN (Meet-Me Conference (MMC), Conference
call, Add-on (CONF) or Three party (3 PTY)) may be invoked only when the terminal is operating in mode
0U and uses A-law speech coding according to CCITT Recommendation G.711 [16].
Before one of these supplementary services is invoked, the terminal shall switch to mode a0U.
Conformance shall be checked by verifying that the relevant supplementary services only can be invoked
when the terminal is working in mode a0U.
NOTE 1: The remote videotelephone terminal cannot be forced to transmit unframed, only to
receive unframed. Unless that terminal is switched to mode a0U by user action, the
speech quality will be reduced.
NOTE 2: If the remote terminal has indicated that it supports CCITT Recommendation G.711
[16] μ-law only, the invocation of these supplementary services should be prevented.
7.4.4 Call manipulating supplementary services
When invoking the call manipulating supplementary services (Call Hold (CH), Explicit Call Transfer (ECT)
or Terminal Portability (TP)), an interaction between inband signalling and D-channel signalling is needed.
The principles specified in ETS 300 145 [10] shall be used.
Before the invocation of these supplementary services, a mode a0U communication shall be established.
7.4.5 Call diversion supplementary services
Terminals that support these supplementary services (Call Forwarding Unconditional (CFU), Call
Forwarding Busy (CFB), Call Forwarding No Reply (CFNR), and Call Deflection (CD)) shall have the
capability of compatibility checking of both octet 4 and octet 4a of the HLC information element as
described in ETS 300 267-1 [12].

---------------------- Page: 13 ----------------------

SIST I-ETS 300 442 E1:2003
Page 12
I-ETS 300 442: December 1995
For an incoming SETUP message where an initial channel is indicated, in octet 4a of the HLC information
element, or where there is no indication of the status of the channel, the normal procedures for these
supplementary services shall apply.
Where the incoming SETUP message is indicating an additional channel in octet 4a, and the terminal has
not established an initial channel, the terminal shall reject the call.
If it is not known that the call request is for an additional channel, the call shall be accepted.
Conformance shall be checked by inspection.
NOTE: The refinement of the D-channel and inband procedures is for further study.
7.4.6 Advice of Charge supplementary services (AOC-S, AOC-D, AOC-E)
7.4.6.1 Protocols and procedures
The protocols and procedures for the Advice of Charge supplementary services are specified in
ETS 300 182-1 [17].
Conformance shall be checked by using the tests specified for the relevant supplementary services.
7.4.6.2 Additional channel
The Advice of Charge supplementary services provide charging information on a per call basis. Where
these supplementary services are invoked, and an additional channel is established, the terminal shall
also invoke the supplementary service for this call.
Conformance shall be checked by inspection.
7.4.7 Other supplementary services
If supplementary services not identified in the subclauses above are applied, they shall be invoked for
each of the two calls where appropriate.
Conformance shall be checked by using the tests s
