Foreword
This European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) has been produced by the Terminal Equipment (TE)
Technical Committee of the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI).
This ETS specifies the technical characteristics required for end-to-end interworking over the Public
Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) for 14 400 bit/s, 12 000 bit/s, 9 600 bit/s, 7 200 bit/s and 4 800 bit/s
modems standardized for use over the PSTN.
These requirements are based upon, and do not conflict with, CCITT Recommendation V.32 bis [1].
Additionally, requirements are included relating to end-to-end interoperability over PSTN connections.
Such requirements are in excess of the CCITT/ITU-T Recommendations.
Except where otherwise indicated, a modem which complies with CCITT Recommendation V.32 bis [1]
should always meet the requirements of this ETS which relate to parameters specified in that CCITT
Recommendation.
Clause 4 of this ETS references the requirements common to both Category I and Category II modems,
which are contained in clause 4 of final draft prETS 300 114 [2]. The definitions for Category I and
Category II modems can be found in the foreword of final draft prETS 300 114 [2].
Clause 5 of this ETS contains Category II requirements specific to CCITT Recommendation V.32 bis [1]
modems. In the case of a certain function common to more than one type of modem (e.g. auto-answering
sequence) reference is made to clause 5 of final draft prETS 300 114 [2], which contains the relevant
requirements.
Transposition dates
Date of adoption of this ETS: 26 April 1996
Date of latest announcement of this ETS (doa): 31 August 1996
Date of latest publication of new National Standard

1 Scope
This European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) specifies the technical characteristics required for
end-to-end interworking over the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) of 14 400 bit/s, 12 000 bit/s,
9 600 bit/s, 7 200 bit/s and 4 800 bit/s duplex modems standardized for use over the PSTN, in accordance
with CCITT Recommendation V.32 bis [1].
The objective of this specification, the application of which is entirely voluntary, is to provide the users with
an added degree of assurance that modems in compliance with this specification, can interwork, with
each other under most network conditions.
The term "modem" in the context of this ETS includes all physical implementation practices for a voice
band modem, which is conductively connected to the PSTN.
This ETS specifies ten modes of operation, each with up to five modes of use (see subclause 5.2).
This ETS also contains descriptions of the tests to be performed in order to confirm compliance with the
functional requirements contained herein. A general description of the test conditions and test
requirements is given in annex A (normative).
2 Normative references
This ETS incorporates by dated and undated reference, provisions from other publications. These
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 ETS
only when incorporated in it by amendments or revision. For undated references the latest edition of the
publication referred to applies.

3 Definitions and abbreviations
3.1 Definitions
For the purposes of this ETS, the definitions in final draft prETS 300 114 [2] apply together with the
following.
NOTE: In addition to the following definitions, some other specific definitions apply (see
subclauses 5.8.1 and 5.11.1 of this ETS).
Modem Conformance Tester (MCT): A simulator designed to meet the requirements of a modem to the
same recommendation as the Modem Under Test (MUT). All individual sub-systems within it are both
accessible (e.g. provide test points and permit functions to be enabled or disabled when required) and
externally controllable (e.g. permit sequences such as the start up procedure to be selectively repeated).
These, within a conformance tester, may be constructed as discrete items of equipment, so as to permit
their assembly into varying configurations required to suit the tests (e.g. the asynchronous to synchronous
converter may be simply applied to a synchronous CCITT Recommendation V.32 bis [1] conformance
tester to achieve an asynchronous CCITT Recommendation V.32 bis [1] conformance tester).
As an interim measure, until the conformance tester is defined and is available, its definition agreed to be
appropriate by ETSI, a modem used for reference may be used in its place. In the case that the modem
used for reference has not been shown to conform to the ETS in the relevant modes of use/operation, the
testing authority ensures that the modem used for reference complies with the relevant ETS to the extent
necessary for the performance of the test.

4.2.2 Instructions for use
Instructions for use shall be made available with the apparatus. The instructions for use shall include:
a) the apparatus or types of apparatus to which the instructions apply;
b) any information specifically indicated in this ETS for inclusion in the "Instructions for use"; and
c) any national restrictions on the use of the apparatus.
Any additional information that has been included shall be disregarded unless it is the subject of another
ETS.
Compliance shall be checked by inspection.
5 Functional requirements specific to Category II modems
5.1 General requirements
To comply with the requirements of this ETS, it shall be necessary that the modem provide:
- duplex mode of operation by means of the modulation scheme specified in CCITT
Recommendation V.32 bis [1];
- channel separation by echo cancellation techniques;
- quadrature amplitude modulation;
- signalling rates of 14 400 bit/s, 12 000 bit/s, 9 600 bit/s, 7 200 bit/s and 4 800 bit/s;
- compatibility with CCITT Recommendation V.32 [3] modems;
- use of the rate sequence during call establishment to decide the data rate and method of coding;
- means by which the channels may be selected either manually and/or automatically, where a
modem is capable of transmitting in either of the two channels;
- means to respond to a request for a retrain;
- means to respond to a request for an instigation of a digital loop 2;
- means to respond to a request for a rate renegotiation.
NOTE 1: The general requirements described above are a subset of CCITT Recommendation
V.32 bis [1]. In the requirements which follow any deviations from the strict
interpretation of CCITT Recommendation V.32 bis [1] have been identified.
NOTE 2: In the following, references are made to interchange circuits between the modem and
the DTE, as defined in CCITT Recommendation V.24. However, not all modems
provide an interface with such circuits. For these cases the references to CCITT
Recommendation V.24 type interchange circuits indicate equivalent operation of a DTE
and of a modem where this exists.

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

SIST ETS 300 492 E1:2003
Page 12
ETS 300 492: May 1996
To further comply with this ETS, the interchange circuits (or equivalent) which are required to change state
after an identifiable event or point in time, shall have changed state within a maximum of 3 seconds of that
event, unless otherwise specified.
NOTE 3: This requirement is in addition to CCITT Recommendation V.32 bis [1].
Interworking with 9 600 bit/s uncoded modulation is not mandatory for CCITT Recommendation V.32 bis
[1] modems.
5.2 Modes of operation/use
The following modes of operation are identified:
- 14 400 bit/s trellis coded, call;
- 14 400 bit/s trellis coded, answer;
- 12 000 bit/s trellis coded, call;
- 12 000 bit/s trellis coded, answer;
- 9 600 bit/s trellis coded, call;
- 9 600 bit/s trellis coded, answer;
- 7 200 bit/s trellis coded, call;
- 7 200 bit/s trellis coded, answer;
- 4 800 bit/s non-redundant coding, call;
- 4 800 bit/s non-redundant coding, answer.
It shall be possible to configure the modem to operate at all of the mentioned data signalling rates, in
either call mode or answer mode or both.
For each mode of operation identified for Category II testing, the modem shall provide at least one of the
following modes of use:
a) asynchronous with 8 bits per character;
b) asynchronous with 9 bits per character;
c) asynchronous with 10 bits per character;
d) asynchronous with 11 bits per character;
e) synchronous.
In the asynchronous (start-stop) modes of use, the modem shall accept a data stream from the DTE at
one of the nominal rates as mentioned above. The asynchronous data to be transmitted shall be
converted into a synchronous data stream in accordance with subclause 5.9 suitable for transmission.
Demodulated data shall be decoded in accordance with subclause 5.5, then descrambled in accordance
with subclause 5.6, it shall then be passed for reconversion into an asynchronous data stream in
accordance with subclause 5.9.
In the synchronous modes of use, the modem shall accept synchronous data from the DTE. The data
shall then be scrambled in accordance with subclause 5.6 and passed to the modulator for encoding in
accordance with subclause 5.5.
Demodulated data shall be decoded in accordance with subclause 5.5, then descrambled in accordance
with subclause 5.6.
The modem shall respond to a request to execute a retrain. Optionally, the modem may also provide
facilities to instigate a retrain during data transmission if the modem detects a loss of equalization.
The modem shall respond to a request to execute a rate renegotiation procedure. Optionally, the modem
may als
