1 Scope
This fifth part of ETS 300 324 contains the Test Suite Structure (TSS) and Test Purposes (TPs) for the
Network layer (NWK) and parts of the system management of the Local Exchange (LE) side of a V5.1
interface.
The objective of this ETS is to provide conformance tests giving a high probability of inter-operability of an
Access Network (AN) and a LE from different manufacturers over the V5.1 interface. This ETS covers the
procedures described in ETS 300 324-1 [1] only.
ISO/IEC 9646-1 [4] is used as the basis for the methodology of conformance testing.
Concerning the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) protocol testing, only the procedures defined
in ETS 300 324-1 [1] are covered by the tests defined in this ETS. An Implementation Under Test (IUT),
however, will have implemented a national PSTN protocol part as well. This requires that the tester
generates messages containing the national PSTN protocol specific optional Information Elements (IEs),
otherwise the IUT would not act on messages according to the PSTN protocol procedure definition.
However, this does not provide a comprehensive test of the national PSTN protocol mapping
specification, which is outside the scope of this ETS.
As the tests use PSTN messages containing optional IEs according to national specifications, the test
result is only valid for the implemented national mapping of the V5.1 PSTN protocol.
This ETS does not cover tests related to functions of the bearer channel. Those functions should be
tested in conjunction with testing the national PSTN protocol mapping specification.
This ETS contains no requirements concerning NWK tests for Integrated Services Digital Network Basic
Access (ISDN-BA).
Annex A lists the bibliography.

4.2.1 Protocol groups
4.2.1.1 Control protocol
All tests in the Control protocol (V5NWKLE/CTRL) test group are intended to verify as thoroughly as
possible the various procedures of the LE_control_protocol entity. Depending on provisioning the following
configurations are covered:
LE_system_management: the startup, restart, re-provisioning and verification procedures for normal
operation of the LE_system_management (V5NWKLE/CTRL/BV/COM/REST, V5NWKLE/CTRL/
BV/COM/REVY and V5NWKLE/CTRL/BO/COM/REVY) are tested.
LE_control_protocol: the normal and exceptional procedures of the LE_control_protocol are verified in
the test groups V5NWKLE/CTRL/BV/COM/TRANS, V5NWKLE/CTRL/BO/COM/TRANS,
V5NWKLE/CTRL/TI/COM/TRANS, V5NWKLE/CTRL/BV/PORT/TRANS, V5NWKLE/CTRL/BO/
PORT/TRANS and V5NWKLE/CTRL/TI/PORT/TRANS. Contents of the LE_control_protocol values
are not verified (e.g. the control function ID). The error handling procedures are verified in test
groups V5NWLKE/CTRL/BI/COM/TRANS and V5NWLKE/CTRL/BI/PORT/TRANS.
LE_PSTN_user_port: the blocking, blocking request and co-ordinated unblocking procedures of the
LE_PSTN_user_port_FSM are verified in the test group V5NWKLE/CTRL/BV/PORT/PSTN. The
interworking of the LE_PSTN_user_port_FSM and the LE_PSTN protocol entity is tested via the
LE_system_management.

SIST ETS 300 324-5:1997
Page 14
ETS 300 324-5: October 1995
LE_ISDN-BA_user_port: the blocking, blocking request, co-ordinated unblocking and activation/
deactivation procedures of the LE_ISDN-BA_user_port_FSM are verified in the test groups
V5NWKLE/CTRL/BV/PORT/ISDNBA and V5NWKLE/CTRL/BO/PORT/ISDNBA.
4.2.1.2 PSTN protocol
All tests in the PSTN protocol (V5NWKLE/PSTN) test group are intended to verify as thoroughly as
possible the various procedures of the LE_PSTN protocol entity.
The following PSTN procedures are covered:
- all path related normal operation procedures;
- significant path related exceptional procedures;
- the status enquiry procedure;
- the layer 3 error detection procedure;
- the error handling procedures;
- the port blocking procedure;
- the restart procedure.
4.2.2 Main test groups
4.2.2.1 Basic Interconnection (IT) tests
The IT test subgroup contains a basic set of TPs which assures that there is a sufficient conformance for
interconnection and that the chosen parameters are valid for the configuration.
4.2.2.2 Capability (CA) tests
Capability testing provides a limited testing to ascertain the capabilities stated in the PICS can be
observed.
4.2.2.3 Valid Behaviour (BV) tests
Predefined state transitions are considered as valid. The TPs in the BV test subgroup cover as far as
reasonable the verification of the normal and exceptional procedures of the various Finite State Machines
(FSMs).
A valid test is a test where the message sequence and the message contents is considered as valid (no
error indication shall be indicated).
4.2.2.4 Inopportune Behaviour (BO) tests
This test group is intended to verify that the IUT is able to react properly in the case an inopportune
protocol event occurring. Such an event is syntactically correct but occurs when it is not expected and an
error indication is caused.
4.2.2.5 Invalid Behaviour (BI) tests
This test subgroup is intended to verify that the IUT is able to react properly having received an invalid
Protocol Data Unit (PDU). An invalid PDU is defined as a syntactically incorrect message and therefore an
error indication is caused.
4.2.2.6 Timer (TI) expiry and counter mismatch tests
Different timers and counters are defined to supervise the various state transitions. This test group is
intended to verify that the FSM is reacting properly to an expiry of one of the timers or counter mismatch.

4.3.1 State transitions
The following subclauses identify the test steps used in the ATS. In general, each test step represents a
state transition. For example in the PSTN protocol, PSTN_LE1_2 is the test step which brings the LE
PSTN protocol FSM from PSTN_path_state LE1 to PSTN_path_state LE2. The state transitions are
declared in the parenthesis (originating state - destination state) which follow the test step names.
Three groups of state transitions are defined:
STARTUP startup the V5.1 interface and put the IUT into the initial state as defined in subclause
5.1.5.
CTRL state transitions used to preamble and postamble the Control protocol before a TP can
be performed.

ETS 300 324-5: October 1995
PSTN state transitions used to preamble and postamble the PSTN protocol before a TP can
be performed.
To test the V5.1 interface certain sequences (i.e. preamble) shall be executed to reach the state which is
the subject for the TPs.
4.3.1.1 Startup of V5.1 interface
The startup procedure for a V5.1 interface depends on the provisioned data configuration. Therefore, the
two PICS items M1 and M2 (refer to subclause 6.5.1 of ETS 300 324-2 [2]) are used to define the
implemented configuration of the IUT.
NOTE 1: ETS 300 324-2 [2] requires at least one of the two PICS items to be set to "Yes".
PICS item description:
M1: ISDN-BA ports supported;
M2: PSTN ports supported.
NOTE 2: One port of each supported type shall be provisioned in a way that the IUT tries to
enter the operational state for these ports after system startup (see subclause 5.1.6).
Depending on the setting of the PICS items, the startup procedure is described in figure 2. This flow
diagram describes the test step called STARTUP_LE.

PICS M1 = NO PICS M1 = YES
