Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN); Telephony 7 kHz teleservice; Service description is a stage 1 ETSI standard for the pan-European ISDN. It describes the telephony 7 kHz teleservice from the user's point of view and defines how the service behaves for call handling, interworking, fall-back and service attributes.

SIST ETS 300 263 E1:2003 is the Slovenian adoption of ETS 300 263 Edition 1.

What does SIST ETS 300 263 E1:2003 specify?

SIST ETS 300 263 E1:2003 specifies the stage one service description for the telephony 7 kHz teleservice in public ISDN, plus the interworking rules for private ISDNs. In practice, it tells operators and terminal implementers what the service must do at the user level, not how the signalling is built.

The document is organized into scope, references, definitions, symbols and abbreviations, service description, procedures, interworking, supplementary services, static attributes and dynamic description.

Annex	What it covers
Annex A	Bibliography
Annex B	Applicability of supplementary services to the telephony 7 kHz teleservice

The scope excludes human interface details, charging principles, and the values of general attributes. It also says no test method is provided.

What are the key requirements of SIST ETS 300 263 E1:2003?

SIST ETS 300 263 E1:2003 defines a real-time teleservice where speech with 7 kHz or 3,1 kHz bandwidth is carried over one circuit-mode 64 kbit/s connection. User information goes over the B-channel and signalling over the D-channel, so implementers need to support that split in access and terminal design.

Service offering and provisioning

Clause 6.1 says the service may be offered after prior arrangement or made generally available. Subscription can apply to one ISDN number, all numbers, or a group of numbers on an interface, and the service provider can limit the number of information channels and total calls. That matters for capacity planning and for how subscriptions are assigned to an access line.

Call establishment and progress

Clause 6.2 requires out-of-band call progress indications and network-generated tones and announcements. During call setup, the user gets proceed, call arrival and awaiting answer indications, and when the called user answers the bidirectional path is established. In practice, terminals must show meaningful progress to the user instead of leaving call setup silent.

Termination, failure and retention

Clause 6.3 covers invalid service requests, invalid numbers, busy users, non-responding terminals and network congestion. The network must give an appropriate failure indication and stop call establishment in those cases. A network option allows retention of the calling user’s call information for the duration of a retention timer, which is stated to be greater than 15 seconds.

Interworking and fall-back

Clause 7 requires intercommunication with 3,1 kHz ISDN terminals and interworking with the PSTN. Fall-back to the telephony 3,1 kHz teleservice is the default unless the caller forbids it, and the caller must be informed when fall-back occurs. This is the main interoperability rule for mixed terminal environments.

Supplementary services

Clause 8 says each supplementary service description states its applicability to the telephony 7 kHz teleservice. If a supplementary service interrupts in-band communication, the network must provide an appropriate B-channel indication, and in-band communication must revert to mode 0 before such a service is invoked.

Attribute-based description

Clause 9 gives the service attributes used to characterize the teleservice. These include circuit information transfer, 64 kbit/s rate, unrestricted digital information with tones and announcements or speech, 8 kHz integrity, demand establishment, bidirectional symmetry and point-to-point or multipoint configuration. That helps with design checks and interoperability mapping.

What terms does SIST ETS 300 263 E1:2003 define?

• ISDN - Integrated Services Digital Network, the network environment for this teleservice.
• Teleservice - a telecommunications service defined for end-to-end user communication.
• 7 kHz terminal - a terminal that supports the telephony 7 kHz teleservice.
• 3,1 kHz terminal - a terminal that supports only the telephony 3,1 kHz teleservice.
• Videotelephone terminal - a terminal that supports the videotelephony teleservice.
• Fall-back - the mechanism that routes a 7 kHz call to the telephony 3,1 kHz teleservice when allowed.
• Retention timer - the timer for how long the network keeps call information after busy or termination conditions.
• PSTN - Public Switched Telephone Network, the non-ISDN network named for interworking.

Who uses SIST ETS 300 263 E1:2003?

SIST ETS 300 263 E1:2003 is used by public telecommunications operators, private ISDN operators, terminal manufacturers and network engineers. It is also relevant for service planners and interoperability teams who need to define call handling, fall-back behavior, supplementary service interaction and user-visible indications.

What changed in SIST ETS 300 263 E1:2003 from the previous edition?

SIST ETS 300 263 E1:2003 is identical to ETS 300 263 Edition 1. The history notes the first edition as March 1994 and a later PDF conversion in February 1996.

Which standards are used with SIST ETS 300 263 E1:2003?

• CCITT Recommendation I.130 - the three-level model for service description; this document is the stage 1 part.
• CCITT Recommendation I.112 and I.210 - the ISDN vocabulary and the principles used to describe services.
• CCITT Recommendation G.711 and G.722 - the speech and audio coding references for the 3,1 kHz and 7 kHz audio paths.
• CCITT Recommendation I.220 and I.221 - the common dynamic description and the definitions for user busy conditions.
• CCITT Recommendation I.140 - the attribute technique used in clause 9.
• CCITT Recommendation E.164 - the ISDN numbering plan used for ISDN numbers.
• ETS 300 143 and ETS 300 144 - the end-to-end audiovisual path and frame structure used in call establishment.
• ETS 300 111 - the telephony 3,1 kHz service description used for tones and fall-back behavior.
• ETS 300 265 and ETS 300 267 - the stage 2 and stage 3 companion parts named in the foreword.
• ETS 300 281 - terminal requirements for end-to-end compatibility and communication-mode changes.

What does the SIST ETS 300 263 E1:2003 document contain?

The document contains call procedures, exception handling, interworking rules, service attributes and supplementary-service applicability. It uses tables for subscription options, information transfer attributes and access attributes, which help readers map the service to interfaces and terminal capabilities.

Annex A provides supporting references, and Annex B lists supplementary services that apply to the telephony 7 kHz teleservice. The document also points to stage 2 and stage 3 companion standards for signalling and terminal behavior, so it serves as the service-level baseline for implementation work.

Foreword
This European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) has been produced by the Network Aspects (NA)
Technical Committee of the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI).
In accordance with CCITT Recommendation I.130 [1], the following three level structure is used to
describe the supplementary telecommunications services as provided by European public
telecommunications operators under the pan-European Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN):
- Stage 1: is an overall service description, from the user's standpoint;
- Stage 2: identifies the functional capabilities and information flows needed to support the service
described in stage 1; and
- Stage 3: defines the signalling system protocols and switching functions needed to implement the
service described in stage 1.
This ETS details the stage 1 aspects (overall service description) for the telephony 7 kHz teleservice. The
stage 2 and stage 3 aspects are detailed in ETS 300 265 (1993) and ETS 300 267 (1993), respectively.

1 Scope
This standard defines the stage one of the telephony 7 kHz teleservice for the pan-European Integrated
Services Digital Network (ISDN) as provided by European public telecommunications operators.
Stage one is an overall service description from the user's point of view (see CCITT Recommendation
I.130 [1]), but does not deal with the details of the human interface itself.
This standard defines the interworking requirements of private ISDNs with the public ISDN.
In addition, this standard specifies the base functionality where the service is provided to the user via a
private ISDN.
This standard does not specify the additional requirements where the service is provided to the user via a
telecommunications network that is not an ISDN but does include interworking requirements of other
networks with the public ISDN.
Charging principles are outside the scope of this standard.
The values of the general attributes are outside the scope of this standard.
The telephony 7 kHz teleservice is a real-time teleservice in which speech (7 kHz or 3,1 kHz bandwidth)
can be interchanged using one circuit-mode 64 kbit/s connection.
This standard is applicable to the stage two and stage three standards for the ISDN telephony 7 kHz
teleservice. The terms "stage two" and "stage three" are also defined in CCITT Recommendation
I.130 [1]. Where the text indicates the status of a requirement (i.e. as strict command or prohibition, as
authorisation leaving freedom, or as a capability or possibility), this shall be reflected in the text of the
relevant stage two and stage three standards.
Furthermore, conformance to this standard is met by conforming to the stage three standard with the field
of application appropriate to the equipment being implemented and by conforming to the standards on the
end-to-end characteristics with the field of application appropriate to the equipment being implemented.
Therefore, no method of testing is provided for this standard.
2 Normative references

5 Description
The telephony 7 kHz teleservice is a real-time teleservice in which speech (7 kHz or 3,1 kHz bandwidth)
can be interchanged using one circuit-mode 64 kbit/s connection. The audio bandwidth conforms to
CCITT Recommendations G.722 [5] or G.711 [4].
User information shall be transferred over the B-channel, signalling shall be provided over the D-channel.
The network provides tones and/or announcements to support this teleservice. Tones and/or
announcements can be used to indicate the progress (or lack of progress) of a call. The application and
meaning of the tones and announcements is a national matter and outside the scope of this standard.
The telephony 7 kHz teleservice shall allow communication between:
- two users in a point-to-point configuration; and
- as a service provider option, three or more users in a multipoint configuration as invoked by some
supplementary services.
6 Procedures
6.1 Provision and withdrawal
The telephony 7 kHz teleservice shall either be provided after prior arrangement with the service provider,
or shall be generally available.
NOTE: As a service provider option, the telephony 7 kHz teleservice can be offered with
several subscription options which apply separately to each ISDN number, all ISDN
numbers, or a group of ISDN numbers on the interface. For each subscription option,
only one value can be selected.
Subscription options for the interface are summarised in table 1.
