SIST EN 300 356-7 V3.1.3:2003 is the Slovenian adoption of ETSI EN 300 356-7 Version 3.1.3 for Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) signalling. It specifies the stage 3 protocol procedures and switching functions for the Terminal Portability (TP) supplementary service on the international Signalling System No.7 (SS7) ISDN User Part (ISUP) interface. Network operators, switch and gateway vendors, and test teams use it to implement and verify how TP is handled during active calls.
What does SIST EN 300 356-7 V3.1.3:2003 specify?
SIST EN 300 356-7 V3.1.3:2003 specifies the stage 3 of the Terminal Portability (TP) supplementary service for the pan-European ISDN as provided over the SS7 ISUP international interface. In practical terms, it tells implementers how the signalling and switching behavior should work when a user moves a terminal or moves an active call within one basic access.
The document is part 7 of the EN 300 356 multi-part series. It is organized as a modified version of ITU-T Recommendation Q.733, clause 4, with added scope and normative references, amended subclauses, and Annex ZA.
The scope is focused on the international interconnection. It keeps the message formats, codes, and exchange actions needed at originating and destination local exchanges, while treating nationally marked items as informative for the international interface view.
What are the key requirements of SIST EN 300 356-7 V3.1.3:2003?
The TP supplementary service allows a user to move a terminal from one socket to another within one basic access during the active state of a call. It also allows a call to be moved from one terminal to another terminal within one basic access during the active call. For implementers, this means the service must support mid-call relocation without treating it as a new call.
The service applies to interactive circuit-switched telecommunication services that require human attendance, such as telephony and videotelephony. In practice, the service design and testing need to fit real-time human call handling, not automated data-only use cases.
Gateway behavior and network interworking
When TP is supported in the succeeding national network, the outgoing international gateway exchange acts like a transit exchange. This tells operators and switch vendors that the gateway should pass the relevant TP-related signalling onward in the normal transit role.
When TP is not supported in the succeeding national network, the outgoing international gateway exchange discards the Suspend and Resume messages received from the international network and gives no notification. The same discard-with-no-notification behavior applies when the incoming international gateway exchange receives these messages for a national network that does not support TP.
Suspend and Resume handling
Notification to the public network that a call was suspended or resumed in a private network is carried in the generic notification parameter of the Call progress message. No Suspend/Resume messages are sent, and no related timer is started. The event indicator is coded as “progress” in both cases. This matters because it fixes the visible signalling behavior and avoids treating the event as a separate suspend/resume procedure on the public side.
Compatibility coding
Annex ZA gives recommended coding for compatibility information. It identifies the parameter handling for the generic notification parameter and the instruction indicators used for transit interpretation, release handling, notification, discarding of messages or parameters, pass-on not possible handling, and broadband/narrowband interworking. In practice, this is the part a signalling engineer checks when aligning interworking behavior between exchanges.
What terms does SIST EN 300 356-7 V3.1.3:2003 define?
- ISDN - Integrated Services Digital Network, the network environment in which this supplementary service is specified.
- ISUP - ISDN User Part, the SS7 signalling part used for the international interface.
- SS7 - Signalling System No.7, the signalling system used to carry ISUP procedures.
- TP - Terminal Portability, the supplementary service that allows terminal or call movement within one basic access during an active call.
- DSS1 - Digital Subscriber Signalling System No. one, referenced for the TP protocol and signalling network layer.
- Call progress message - The signalling message used here to carry the generic notification parameter for suspend/resume notification.
- generic notification parameter - The parameter used to report suspension or resumption information across the public network boundary.
Who uses SIST EN 300 356-7 V3.1.3:2003?
SIST EN 300 356-7 V3.1.3:2003 is used by ISDN network operators, international gateway exchange designers, signalling protocol implementers, and test laboratories. It is relevant to teams working on switching, interworking, conformance testing, and service support for TP in international SS7/ISUP environments.

What does the SIST EN 300 356-7 V3.1.3:2003 document contain?
The document contains the modified text of ITU-T Recommendation Q.733, clause 4, including an inserted scope and normative references section. It also contains a reference-replacement table that maps several ITU-T references to ETSI documents used in this part of the series.
The body includes subclause updates for suspend/resume handling and gateway behavior in national and international interworking cases. Annex ZA provides informative coding guidance for compatibility information, including the handling of instruction indicators for transit, release, notification, discard, pass-on, and interworking behavior.
The foreword also places this part within the full EN 300 356 series, which covers basic services, supplementary services, and the related PICS, TSS&TP, ATS, and PIXIT material for testing and conformance work.
