SIST EN 300 324-2 V2.1.1:2005 is the Slovene adoption of ETSI EN 300 324-2 Version 2.1.1, published by SIST. It specifies the Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS) proforma for the V5.1 interface at the digital Local Exchange (LE) that supports an Access Network (AN). In practice, it gives network operators and suppliers a common form for describing an implementation and checking it against the V5.1 interface specification in EN 300 324-1.

What does SIST EN 300 324-2 V2.1.1:2005 specify?

SIST EN 300 324-2 V2.1.1:2005 defines the PICS proforma for the implementation flexibility allowed for the V5.1 interface in EN 300 324-1. It is used to record which options, functions and protocol items an implementation supports, and to help decide whether that implementation matches the required profile.

The document is organized into these main parts:

• Clause 1 - Scope
• Clause 2 - References
• Clause 3 - Definitions
• Clause 4 - Abbreviations
• Clause 5 - Conformance
• Clause 6 - PICS proforma
• Annex A - Instructions for completing the PICS proforma

Clause 6 is the core of the document. It is split into identification fields, a global conformance statement, and detailed tables for Local exchange and Access network capabilities.

What are the key requirements of SIST EN 300 324-2 V2.1.1:2005?

SIST EN 300 324-2 V2.1.1:2005 is not a protocol specification; it is a structured declaration of support for the protocol specification in EN 300 324-1. The key practical requirement is that a supplier claiming conformance must complete the PICS form and identify the implementation clearly.

• Clause 5 requires the supplier of a claimed-conforming implementation to complete the PICS proforma and provide information that identifies both the supplier and the implementation. This matters because the answers must be tied to a specific product and configuration.
• Clause 6.1 asks for Implementation Under Test (IUT) and System Under Test (SUT) identification, plus supplier, client and contact details. This helps testing and procurement teams know exactly what was assessed.
• Clause 6.4 contains the global statement of conformance. The completed PICS must answer whether the implementation meets all mandatory requirements of EN 300 324-1, and any non-supported mandatory capabilities must be identified and explained.
• Clauses 6.5 and 6.6 separate the form into Local exchange and Access network views. This is useful because the same interface can be assessed from either side of the V5.1 connection.
• The main feature tables cover items such as ISDN ports, PSTN ports, semi-permanent leased lines, communication channel timeslot allocation, the envelop function, and permanent line capability. In practice, these tell the reader what service types and connection arrangements the implementation supports.
• The protocol tables break the interface down by layer. They cover layer 1, layer 2, layer 3, the PSTN protocol, the control protocol, the port control protocol and common control. This is where compatibility details appear for engineering review.
• The PDU tables list messages and information elements for the PSTN and control protocols, including signal, status, disconnect, cause and re-provisioning items. These entries matter for interoperability because they show which protocol data units the implementation can send, receive or process.
• Annex A explains how to complete the form, including when to leave a support field blank for an item marked N/A. This keeps completed PICS statements consistent.

What terms does SIST EN 300 324-2 V2.1.1:2005 define?

• PICS - A Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement, meaning the supplier's statement of which capabilities an OSI implementation has implemented for a given protocol.
• PICS proforma - A questionnaire form that becomes the PICS when it is completed for a specific implementation.
• IUT - Implementation Under Test, the implementation being assessed.
• SUT - System Under Test, the system in which the IUT resides.
• SCS - System Conformance Statement, the document that summarizes the standards claimed for a system.
• AN - Access Network, the network side supported by the V5.1 interface.
• LE - Local Exchange, the exchange side of the V5.1 interface.
• PSTN - Public Switched Telephone Network, the telephony network referenced throughout the tables.

Who uses SIST EN 300 324-2 V2.1.1:2005?

SIST EN 300 324-2 V2.1.1:2005 is used by network operators, equipment suppliers, test laboratories and conformance engineers working on V5.1 interfaces. Buyers and technical evaluators use it to check whether an Access Network or Local Exchange implementation supports the required functions before deployment. It is also useful when selecting test cases for optional features and when documenting interoperability claims for switching and signalling systems.

What changed in SIST EN 300 324-2 V2.1.1:2005 from the previous edition?

The history lists an earlier Edition 1 from February 1994 and the later Version 2.1.1 publication in April 2000. SIST EN 300 324-2 V2.1.1:2005 is identified as the Version 2.1.1 edition of the PICS proforma for EN 300 324-1.

Which standards are used with SIST EN 300 324-2 V2.1.1:2005?

• EN 300 324-1 (V2.1) - The base V5.1 interface specification that this PICS proforma applies to.
• ISO/IEC 9646-1 - Provides the conformance testing framework and the general concepts behind PICS and related statements.
• ISO/IEC 9646-7 - Defines Implementation Conformance Statements, which this document follows.

What does the SIST EN 300 324-2 V2.1.1:2005 document contain?

The document contains a PICS questionnaire with identification fields, yes/no conformance questions, and N/A logic for unsupported items. Its main body is a sequence of tables that cover Local exchange and Access network features, protocol layers, protocol data units and information elements for the PSTN and control protocols.

Annex A gives instructions for completing the form and explains how to describe the implementation clearly. The completed PICS is intended to support static conformance review, procurement review and protocol testing for V5.1 implementations.
