SIST ETS 300 323-5 E1:2003 is the Slovenian standard for the DECT Public Access Profile (PAP) Fixed radio Termination (FT) Abstract Test Suite (ATS). It is published by SIST and is based on ETSI work for conformance testing of DECT PAP, including the tests needed for TBR 11 and for voluntary PAP conformance testing. Manufacturers, test laboratories and conformance teams use it to prepare and run FT tests in a consistent way.

What does SIST ETS 300 323-5 E1:2003 specify?

SIST ETS 300 323-5 E1:2003 specifies the FT ATS for the DECT Public Access Profile test specification. The standard is organized as three clauses and three annexes, with the normative annexes carrying the test material.

Part of the document	What it covers
Clause 1	Scope and how the ATS is expressed
Clause 2	Normative references
Clause 3	Definitions, symbols and abbreviations
Annex A	PAP FT ATS in TTCN Graphical Representation (GR)
Annex B	TTCN Machine Processable (MP) ASCII file
Annex C	Bibliography

The scope says the ATS covers the PAP features needed for TBR 11 and for voluntary conformance testing. In practice, that means the document is meant to support a complete FT conformance test set, not just a small subset of cases.

What are the key requirements of SIST ETS 300 323-5 E1:2003?

Test coverage and method

SIST ETS 300 323-5 E1:2003 requires the FT ATS to be based on the Public Access Profile and ISO 9646, and to use the Remote Single Layer Embedded test method. For a test engineer, this tells you the test design approach and the test environment to build around the suite.

Clause 1 also states that the ATS includes both protocol tests and non-protocol tests. The protocol tests are written so they can be converted into an executable test suite with commonly available tools, while the non-protocol tests are described in natural language. That matters because it separates machine-executable TTCN material from real-effects procedures.

TTCN structure

The scope and Annex A show that the protocol part is organized in TTCN tables with four sections: overview, declarations, constraints and dynamic behaviour. This structure matters because it is the basis for implementing the test cases in tools that support TTCN.

Annex A is normative and contains the PAP FT ATS in TTCN Graphical Representation (GR). Annex B is also normative and gives the corresponding TTCN Machine Processable (MP) file, identified as DE103235.mp. In practice, labs can use the GR version for reading and the MP file for tool-based processing.

Supporting information for conformance testing

Clause 1 explains the role of the Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS) proforma. It is a checklist of mandatory, optional and conditional features, procedures, parameters, options, timers, multi-layer dependencies and other capabilities. For a supplier, this is the document used to declare what the product implements.

Clause 1 also explains the Protocol Implementation eXtra Information for Testing (PIXIT) proforma. It collects the test information the laboratory needs, such as feature invocation methods, real timer values and identities. That information is what lets the lab configure the tests for a specific implementation.

What terms does SIST ETS 300 323-5 E1:2003 define?

• Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (DECT) - the cordless telecommunications system family covered by the DECT Common Interface references.
• Public Access Profile (PAP) - the DECT profile that this test specification targets.
• Fixed radio Termination (FT) - the fixed-side part of the DECT access arrangement covered by this ATS.
• Abstract Test Suite (ATS) - a set of abstract test cases that can be turned into executable tests.
• Tree and Tabular Combined Notation (TTCN) - the notation used for the protocol test cases in this standard.
• Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS) - the manufacturer checklist that records implemented features and capabilities.
• Protocol Implementation eXtra Information for Testing (PIXIT) - the manufacturer-provided test information needed to set up the tests.

Who uses SIST ETS 300 323-5 E1:2003?

SIST ETS 300 323-5 E1:2003 is used by DECT equipment manufacturers, test laboratories, and conformance or certification teams. Manufacturers use it with the PICS and PIXIT proformas to describe what their FT implementation supports. Test labs use the TTCN ATS and MP file to generate and execute tests, and quality or procurement teams use the standard to judge whether a supplier can show PAP FT conformance.

What changed in SIST ETS 300 323-5 E1:2003 from the previous edition?

SIST ETS 300 323-5 E1:2003 is identified as identical to ETS 300 323-5 Edition 1. The document history records the first edition in April 1994 and a later conversion into PDF in March 1996.

Which standards are used with SIST ETS 300 323-5 E1:2003?

SIST ETS 300 323-5 E1:2003 refers to these companion standards:

• ISO/IEC 9646-1, -2, -3 and -6 - the conformance testing framework, ATS specification, TTCN, and protocol profile test specification basis.
• ETS 300 323-1 - the overview of the PAP test specification and the source of the real-effects test procedures.
• ETS 300 323-2, -3 and -4 - the PT ATS, PT PICS proforma and PT PIXIT proforma.
• ETS 300 323-6 and -7 - the FT PICS proforma and FT PIXIT proforma.
• ETS 300 175-1 to -9 - the DECT Common Interface, including Part 9 for the Public access profile.

What does the SIST ETS 300 323-5 E1:2003 document contain?

SIST ETS 300 323-5 E1:2003 contains the FT test suite material rather than product requirements text. The main content is a TTCN-based ATS for protocol testing, plus a natural-language description for non-protocol real-effects tests. Annex A provides the graphical TTCN representation, and Annex B provides the machine-processable ASCII file that supports tool-based use.

The document also points users to the PICS and PIXIT proformas and to ETS 300 323-1 for the real-effects procedures. That makes it a working conformance-testing document: one part for defining the tests, and one part for supplying the information needed to run them on a specific FT implementation.
