Foreword
This European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) has been produced by the European Computer Manufacturers
Association (ECMA) on behalf of its members and those of the European Telecommunications Standards Institute
(ETSI).
This ETS defines the signalling protocol for use at the S-reference point in support of basic circuit mode services. It is
intended to be supported by a suitable layer 2 protocol, e.g. ETS 300 169, in the D-channel of a basic access interface
or a primary rate access interface.
The protocol defined in this ETS is based upon that specified in ETS 300 102-1. ETS 300 102-1 is applicable to
interfaces to public ISDNs at the T reference point, or at coincident S and T reference points if there is no NT2
function. This ETS references many of the Clauses of ETS 300 102-1 to avoid reproducing large quantities of text.
Some of the options in ETS 300 102-1 are not applicable to interfaces at the S reference point, and therefore are
excluded by this standard. On the other hand, certain additions have been identified as being required at the S
reference point. However, the major part of the protocol is identical with that specified in ETS 300 102-1, enabling
TEs to be designed which are compatible with both PTNs and public ISDNs and can therefore be connected to either.
This ETS refers to ETS 300 102-2 for the description of the protocol in SDL form.
This ETS was produced by ECMA using the ECMA guidelines for the production of standards and using the ECMA
stylesheet. In order to avoid undue delays in the publication of this ETS it has been agreed that this ETS will not be
converted to the ETSI stylesheet.

1 Scope
This standard defines the Layer 3 protocol for signalling for the support of circuit-mode bearer services (used
either on their own or in support of teleservices) at an interface at the S reference point between a Terminal
Equipment (TE) and a Private Telecommunication Network (PTN). The S reference point is defined in ENV
41004.
This standard is based upon ETS 300 102-1, which defines the equivalent protocol for the T and coincident T
and S reference points between a user and a public ISDN. Many of the Clauses of ETS 300 102-1 are
incorporated by reference. Any reference in the text of ETS 300 102-1 to Annex D of that document are not
applicable to this standard. Annex F contains information on terminal interchangeability between PTNs and
public ISDNs.
This standard is applicable to basic and primary rate accesses of PTNXs and to TEs that are intended for
connection to such accesses.
The conveyance of non-standardized (e.g. manufacturer-specific) information in messages is outside the scope
of this standard. Annex D discusses ways in which this can be achieved.
2 Conformance
In order to conform to this standard, a PTNX shall satisfy the PTN requirements and a TE shall satisfy the TE
requirements contained in Clauses 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 of this standard.

6 General principles
This standard specifies the signalling procedures for establishing, maintaining and clearing a basic circuit-
switched call at a PTN user access. These signalling procedures are defined in terms of messages exchanged
over a data link connection on the D-channel of a basic or primary rate interface structure. The result of
successful basic call establishment is a connection for the purpose of user information transfer. This
connection uses a B-channel of a basic or primary rate interface structure.
Throughout this standard, the term B-channel is used to indicate any channel other than the D-channel.
The basic call signalling procedures specified in this standard apply to circuit mode bearer services, used
either on their own or in support of teleservices.
In addition, this standard includes signalling procedures for layer management, including restart.
6.1 Protocol model
Figure 1 shows the relationship, within the Control Plane, between the layer 3 protocol at the S reference
point, the protocol entities in the TE and PTN, and the adjacent layers.

Figure 1 - Protocol model
The Protocol Control entity provides services to Call Control. Call Control corresponds to the functional
entities identified for the basic call at Stage 2 (see ETS 300 171), i.e., the Call Control functional entity
within the PTN (PTNX) and the Call Control Agent functional entity within the TE. Primitives exchanged
across the boundary between Call Control and Protocol Control correspond to the information flows
exchanged between the Call Control and Call Control Agent functional entities, as identified at Stage 2.
Protocol Control provides the mapping between these primitives and the messages transferred across the
TE-PTN interface.
In order to transfer messages, Protocol Control uses the services of the Data Link Layer, as available at the
Data Link Layer Service Access Point (SAP). The Data Link Layer in turn uses the services of the Physical
Layer.
6.2 Services provided to Call Control
Protocol Control provides services to Call Control whereby Call Control can send information flows to and
receive information flows from the peer Call Control. A primitive from Call Control to Protocol Control of
type "request" or "response" normally results in the associated information flow being presented to the peer
Call Control as a primitive of type "indication" or "confirmation" respectively.
PTN side primitives are as listed in subclause 5.3 of ETS 300 102-2. TE side primitives are as listed in
subclause 6.3 of ETS 300 102-2.
Note 1:
These primitive names differ from the information flow names specified at Stage 2 in ETS 300 171.
6.3 Services required of the Data Link Layer
Services provided by the Data Link Layer and the associated primitives are defined in I-ETS 300 169.
Protocol Control uses the following services:
6.3.1 Acknowledged information transfer services
- Data Transfer, using the DL-DATA-REQUEST/INDICATION primitives;
- Establishment of Multiple Frame Operation, using the DL-ESTABLISH-REQUEST/INDICATION/-
CONFIRM primitives;

---------------------- Page: 13 ----------------------

SIST ETS 300 192 E1:2005
Page 12
ETS 300 192: 1992
- Termination of Multiple Frame Operation, using the DL-RELEASE-REQUEST/INDICATION/-
CONFIRM primitives.
6.3.2 Unacknowledged information transfer services
- Data Transfer, using the DL-UNIT-DATA-REQUEST/INDICATION primitives.
6.4 Protocol Control states
Protocol Control procedures for calls and layer management are specified in terms of:
- messages which are transferred across the TE-PTN interface;
- the primitives to and from Call Control at the TE side and the PTN side of the TE-PTN interface;
- the information processing and actions that take place within Protocol Control at the TE side and the
PTN side of the TE-PTN interface; and
- the states that can exist within Protocol Control at the TE side and the PTN side of the TE-PTN
interface.
State machines are deemed to exist for each circuit mode call. A further state machine is deemed to exist
for layer management, covering restart procedures.
6.4.1 States for circuit mode Call Control
The call states defined in subclause 2.1.1 of ETS 300 102-1 for the user side of the user-network
interface apply also to the TE side of the TE-PTN interface.
Note 2:
If the TE does not support the optional suspend and resume procedures of subclause 8.6, states U15 and
U17 will never be entered.
The call states defined in subclause 2.1.2 of ETS 300 102-1 for the network side of the user-network
interface apply also to the PTN side of the TE-PTN interface.
Note 3:
If the PTN does not support the optional suspend and resume procedures of subclause 8.6, states N15
and N17 will never be entered.
6.4.2 States for Layer management
The states defined in subclause 2.4.1 of ETS 300 102-1 for use in association with the global call
reference at the user side of the user-network interface apply also to the TE side of the TE-PTN
interface.
The states defined in subclause 2.4.2 of ETS 300 102-1 for use in association with the global call
reference at the network side of the user-network interface apply also to the PTN side of the TE-PTN
interface.
6.5 Message segmentation and reassembly functions
Message segmentation and reassembly functions are employed where the size of a message exceeds the
maximum size of the Data Link Layer information field size. The architectural relationship of
segmentation and reassembly functions to other Protocol Control functions is shown in figure 2.

Figure 2 - Logical architecture of Protocol Control showing segmentation and reassembly functions
Segmentation and reassembly, where provided, effectively constitutes a lower sub-layer of Protocol
Control. The only function of Protocol Control which lies below the segmentation and reassembly functions
is the filtering out of messages containing a protocol discriminator which is not in accordance with that
specified.
The primitives across the boundary between segmentation and reassembly functions and other functions are
the same as those between the Data Link Layer and Protocol Control. The segmentation functions act upon
DL-DATA-REQUEST primitives by converting, where necessary, a single primitive into two or more
primitives before passing to the Data Link Layer. The reassembly functions act upon DL-
DATA-INDICATION primitives from the Data Link Layer by converting, where necessary, two or more
primitives into a single primitive for passing up to the other functions of Protocol Control. Other primitives
to and from the Data Link Layer are not affected by the segmentation and reassembly functions.
Message segmentation and reassembly procedures are each specified in terms of a state machine. Message
segmentation uses a single state, Null (0). Message reassembly uses two states, as listed below.
6.5.1 Null (0)
No message is being reassembled.
6.5.2 Receiving segmented message (1)
One or more segments of a segmented message have been received and one or more further segments are
awaited.
7 General procedures
7.1 Use of the services of Layer 2
7.1.1 Establishment of a Data Link connection
Before the procedures for call control, layer management or any of the general procedures in subclauses
7.2 to 7.4 can be performed, a Data Link connection must be established between the PTN and the TE.

---------------------- Page: 15 ----------------------

SIST ETS 300 192 E1:2005
Page 14
ETS 300 192: 1992
The exception is the sending of a SETUP message by the PTN using the unacknowledged information
transfer service of the Data Link Layer.
If a Data Link connection has not already been established, Protocol Control can request establishment
by sending a DL-ESTABLISH-REQUEST primitive to the Data Link Layer. Receipt of a DL-
ESTABLISH-CONFIRMATION primitive or a DL-ESTABLISH-INDICATION primitive from the Data
Link Layer indicates that a Data Link connection has been established.
7.1.2 Transfer of data
If a multi-point configuration exists at an interface, or if the PTN does not know whether the
configuration is multi-point or point-to-point, a SETUP message sent by the PTN shall use the
unacknowledged data transfer service (broadcast Data Link) of the Data Link Layer. A message (or
message segment) shall be transmitted by including it within a DL-UNIT-DATA-REQUEST primitive to
the Data Link Layer. A received message (or message segment) will appear included with a DL-UNIT-
DATA-INDICATION primitive from the Data Link Layer.
All other messages shall use the acknowledged data transfer service of the Data Link Layer (point-to-
point Data Link). A message (or message segment) shall be transmitted by including it with a DL-
DATA-REQUEST primitive to the Data Link Layer. A received message (or message segment) will
appear included within a DL-DATA-INDICATION primitive from the Data Link Layer.
Note 4:
Before a TE can respond to a SETUP message delivered using the unacknowledged data transfer service,
it must establish a Data Link connection according to the procedures of subclause 7.1.1, unless a Data
Link connection already exists between the PTN and that TE.
7.2 Message segmentation procedures
This subclause specifies message segmentation and reassembly procedures for messages whose length
exceeds the maximum size of the Data Link Layer information field. The maximum Data Link Layer
information field size is defined in ETS 300 169 (parameter N201).
A PTN or a TE shall conform to the message segmentation procedures if it is capable of transmitting a
message which exceeds the maximum size of the Data Link Layer information field. Segmentation
procedures shall not be applied to messages which do not exceed the maximum size of the Data Link Layer
information field.
A PTN or a TE which claims conformance to this standard shall declare the maximum size of message
which it is able to receive. The declared maximum size shall not be less than 260 octets. If the maximum
size of the Data Link Layer information field is less than the declared maximum size of message which can
be received, the PTN or TE shall conform to the message reassembly procedures.
The message segmentation and reassembly procedures of Annex K of ETS 300 102-1 shall apply except the
