Page 1, clause 1
Delete clause 1 (General) and subclause 1.1 (Scope of the Recommendation).
Insert the following three clauses (Scope, Normative references, Definitions) at the start of the text:
Scope
This European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) specifies the stage three of circuit-mode on-demand
basic telecommunication services for the pan-European Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) as
provided by European telecommunications operators at the T reference point or coincident S and T
reference point (as defined in ITU-T Recommendation I.411 [91] by means of the Digital Subscriber
Signalling System No. one (DSS1). Stage three identifies the protocol procedures and switching functions
needed to support a telecommunication service (see CCITT Recommendation I.130 [88]).
In addition, this ETS specifies the protocol requirements at the T reference point where the service is
provided to the user via a private ISDN.
NOTE 1: Procedures at the T reference point, to support the access of a private ISDN to the
public ISDN, are not explicitly identified in this ETS, however some procedures are
applicable only to the T reference point.
This ETS does not specify the additional protocol requirements where the service is provided to the user
via a telecommunication network that is not an ISDN.
A basic telecommunication service is a fundamental type of service. It forms the basis on which
supplementary services may be added.
NOTE 2: Specific requirements of individual circuit-mode basic telecommunication services are
not covered in this ETS. However, ETR 018 gives guidance on the use of service
specific information elements to implement individual basic telecommunication
services.
Further parts of this ETS specify the Specification and Description Language (SDL) diagrams, the method
of testing and detailed application specific requirements to determine conformance based on this ETS.
This ETS is applicable to equipment supporting circuit-mode on-demand basic telecommunication
services, to be attached at either side of a T reference point or coincident S and T reference point when
used as an access to the public ISDN.
Normative references
This ETS incorporates by dated and undated reference, provisions from other publications. These
normative 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 amendment or revision. For undated references the latest
edition of the publication referred to applies.

NOTE: The references listed in this ETS are a continuation of publications referenced in ITU-T
Recommendation Q.931.
Definitions
For the purposes of this ETS, the following definitions apply, together with those given in the referenced
publications:
access channel; channel: See CCITT Recommendation Q.9 [92], definition 0008.
B-channel: A 64 kbit/s channel accompanied by timing intended to carry a wide variety of user
information streams. A B-channel does not carry signalling information for circuit switching by the ISDN.
basic access: See CCITT Recommendation Q.9 [92], definition 1551.
basic service; basic telecommunication service: See CCITT Recommendation Q.9 [92], definition
7018.
call: See CCITT Recommendation Q.9 [92], definition 2201.
call control message: A message as defined in subclause 3.1 of this ETS, which on sending or receipt
causes a change of the call state at either the network or the user; and also PROGRESS and
INFORMATION messages.
call establishment; connection establishment: See CCITT Recommendation Q.9 [92], definition 2207.
call reference: An identifier of a signalling transaction. The signalling transaction may either be bearer
related, in which case the signalling transaction can be used to control that bearer, or bearer independent,
in which case there is no bearer associated with that signalling transaction. All signalling transactions in
this ETS are bearer related except those associated with the global call reference. Where there is only
one bearer required for a call, then the call reference of the associated bearer related signalling
transaction may be used to identify the call. In this ETS there is only one bearer for each call.
call state: A state as defined in subclause 2.1 of this ETS, for either the user side or network side as
appropriate. A call state may exist for each call reference value (and at the network side for each
additional responding CEI in the incoming call states).
circuit switched; circuit switching: See CCITT Recommendation Q.9 [92], definition 1125.
comprehension required: The requirement that the coding structure and meaning of an information
element shall be understood by its receiver for the message to be processed. A specific range of values
for information element identifiers is provided for those information elements for which comprehension is
required.
connection: See CCITT Recommendation Q.9 [92], definition 0011. In this ETS, the term is taken to
include a bearer and its associated control signalling.
D-channel: A channel primarily intended to carry signalling information for circuit switching by the ISDN.
data link connection endpoint identifier: Identifier used by a layer 3 protocol entity to address its peer
entity.
dummy call reference: A call reference value of one octet length encoded as "0000 0000".

ETS 300 403-1: November 1995
en bloc receiving: A procedure, used in call establishment of an incoming call, to enable the network to
send called party number digits to the user in a single message.
en bloc sending: A procedure, used in call establishment of an outgoing call, to enable the user to send
called party number digits to the network in a single message.
global call reference: A Call reference information element with a call reference value of zero. The length
of the call reference value is encoded in the first octet of the information element. The Global call
reference identifies all call references currently associated with the appropriate data link connection
endpoint identifier.
Incoming (call): A call incoming to the user side of the interface.
Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN): See ITU-T Recommendation I.112 [87], definition 308.
interface: See CCITT Recommendation Q.9 [92], definition 4001.
Network Service Access Point (NSAP) address; OSI NSAP address: See CCITT Recommendation
Q.9 [92], definition 2083.
network: The DSS1 protocol entity at the network side of the user-network interface.
on demand: See ITU-T Recommendation I.140 [89], annex A, clause A.2.
Open System Interconnection (OSI): The concept of interconnecting systems in accordance with the
architecture described in the Open System Interconnection Reference model (CCITT Recommendation
X.200 [78]).
outgoing (call): A call outgoing from the user side of the interface.
overlap receiving: A procedure, used in call establishment of an incoming call, to enable the network to
send called party number digits to the user in successive messages, as and when they are made available
from the remote network.
overlap sending: A procedure, used in call establishment of an outgoing call, to enable the user to send
called party number digits to the network in successive messages, as and when they are made available
by the user.

more than two connection endpoints.
point-to-point configuration; single-point terminal configuration; single-point configuration: A
terminal configuration in which there is one signalling entity.
point-to-point data link: A data link on which a frame is directed to a single endpoint.
primary rate access: See CCITT Recommendation Q.9 [92], definition 1552.
service; telecommunication service: See ITU-T Recommendation I.112 [87], definition 201.
supplementary service: See ITU-T Recommendation I.210 [90], subclause 2.4.

NOTE 1: Included in the network-to-user direction if the network provides in-band tones. See annex D
for usage in the user-to-network direction.
NOTE 2: Included by the network if in-band tones are provided. However, the user may include the
Progress Indicator and provide in-band tones (see annex D). In such cases the network will
ignore this information element and will not convey the in-band tones.
NOTE 3: Included if the network provides information that can be presented to the user.
NOTE 4: The minimum length is 2 octets; the maximum length is network dependent and is either 34
or 82 octets.
NOTE 5:    Included if the network optionally provides additional information describing tones.
