SIST ETS 300 410 E1:2003 is the Slovenian standard identical to ETS 300 410 Edition 1 from ETSI. It gives the stage 1 service description for the FTAM teleservice over ISDN, from the user's point of view. It is aimed at people who need to understand how file transfer and remote file management work across ISDN terminals and what the service must support in practice.

What does SIST ETS 300 410 E1:2003 specify?

SIST ETS 300 410 E1:2003 specifies the stage 1 description of the File Transfer, Access and Management (FTAM) teleservice for the pan-European Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN). Stage 1 is the overall service description; it focuses on what the user can do and on the service behavior, not on human-interface design.

The document is organized into clauses on scope, normative references, definitions, abbreviations, service description, procedures, intercommunication considerations, interaction with other supplementary services, static service attributes, and dynamic description. It also includes tables for service attributes and a figure showing a typical terminal model.

The scope places the service in ISDN, excludes charging principles and general attribute values, and states that conformance is achieved through the related stage 3 specifications. That matters because this document tells you what the service is, while the implementation detail sits in the companion standards.

What are the key requirements of SIST ETS 300 410 E1:2003?

Service model and terminal roles

SIST ETS 300 410 E1:2003 defines FTAM as an asymmetric teleservice with one initiator and one responder on each connection. A basic terminal may support only one role, while a full service implementation must support both roles and file exchange and management.

In practice, this means a product claim needs to match the intended role set. If you are specifying a terminal, you need to know whether it is basic or full service and whether it must support filestore management.

Call setup, bearer use, and identification

SIST ETS 300 410 E1:2003 uses the 64 kbit/s bearer capability within ISDN, and data are transferred on one B-channel. Call establishment, maintenance, termination, and exceptional call procedures follow the circuit-mode 64 kbit/s unrestricted bearer service category.

The caller can provide dialling information and an identifier, and the called side can use remote user identification, access control lists, and optionally CLI. In practice, this means the service relies on ISDN addressing and on security data such as user name and password before file access is allowed.

File transfer and filestore management

SIST ETS 300 410 E1:2003 allows file transfer between local and remote filestores. The calling entity starts the transfer, basic service supports transfer in both directions, and full service also supports listing file names visible in the remote filestore.

File content must remain logically identical after transfer, and file names used for operations must be unique in the remote filestore and independent of the operating system. That matters because interoperability depends on consistent file naming and on preserving the file contents as exchanged.

Management, recovery, and interworking

SIST ETS 300 410 E1:2003 covers remote file management such as rename and delete within access rights, automatic mode with recovery support, a communication log, directory and access control list handling, and local configuration such as the ISDN address and technical parameters.

It also addresses interworking with non-ISDNs and private ISDNs, and it states that Terminal Portability (TP) shall not be used. For implementers, this ties FTAM service behavior to directory data, access control, and cross-network operation.

Service attributes

SIST ETS 300 410 E1:2003 defines static attributes for the service: circuit mode, 64 kbit/s rate, unrestricted digital information, 8 kHz integrity, on-demand establishment, bi-directional symmetric communication, and point-to-point configuration. It also assigns access attributes for user information on the B-channel and signalling on the D-channel.

These attributes are useful when checking whether a terminal, network, or test setup matches the intended FTAM service profile.

What terms does SIST ETS 300 410 E1:2003 define?

• Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) - the digital network environment in which the teleservice is provided.
• Teleservice - the service type used for end-to-end communication over the network.
• Filestore - the work space that contains files available for transfer.
• Navigation - the ability to change and manage the remote file area.
• Identifier - a user name, optionally with a password.
• Dedicated terminal - a terminal that supports only the FTAM teleservice.
• Multiservice terminal - a terminal that supports FTAM plus other bearer services or teleservices.
• Full service - a terminal implementation that claims full FTAM conformance.

Who uses SIST ETS 300 410 E1:2003?

SIST ETS 300 410 E1:2003 is used by ISDN service designers, terminal manufacturers, network engineers, and operators who need a common service description for FTAM. It is also relevant to integrators and administrators who set up directories, access control, local configuration, and file transfer behavior.

The document is especially useful when a product or service must interoperate across different terminal types, including PCs, computers, and file servers.

Which standards are used with SIST ETS 300 410 E1:2003?

• ETS 300 108 - provides the circuit-mode 64 kbit/s bearer service procedures and related call behavior.
• ETS 300 102 and ETS 300 125 - provide the ISDN layer 3 and data link layer signalling protocols.
• ETS 300 080 - provides lower layer protocols for telematic terminals.
• ETS 300 345 - gives the general interworking requirements for public and private ISDNs.
• ETS 300 388 - gives the FTAM over ISDN profile and the detailed FTAM service procedures used here.
• CCITT Recommendation E.164 - provides ISDN numbering.
• CCITT Recommendation I.130, I.210, and I.220 - provide the service description framework and dynamic description model.
• CCITT Recommendation X.500 and ISO/IEC DISP 11190 - support directory and access control list handling.
• ISO/IEC 8571, ISO/IEC 10607-3, and ISO/IEC 10607-6 - provide the FTAM and related file transfer and file management behavior.

What does the SIST ETS 300 410 E1:2003 document contain?

The document contains a service description, procedures for call establishment and termination, file transfer, remote file management, exceptional handling, terminal management services, intercommunication considerations, supplementary-service interaction, static service attributes, and a dynamic description. Clause 5 explains the service model and terminal types, while clause 6 covers the operational procedures that users and implementations follow.

It also includes two attribute tables and one figure. Table 1 gives the low-layer information transfer attributes, table 2 gives the access attributes, and Figure 1 shows a typical terminal model for FTAM.

1 Scope
This European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) defines the stage one of the File Transfer & Access
Management (FTAM) 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 [9]), but does not deal with the details of
the human interface itself.
This ETS does not define the interworking requirements of private ISDNs with the public ISDN.
This ETS specifies the base functionality where the service is provided to the user via a private ISDN.
This ETS 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 ETS.
The values of the general attributes are outside the scope of this ETS.
The FTAM teleservice is an international service enabling users to exchange files between different types
of equipment in which negotiates end-to-end compatibility between terminals is guaranteed.
This ETS is applicable to the stage two and stage three ETSs for the ISDN FTAM teleservice. The terms
"stage two" and "stage three" are also defined in CCITT Recommendation I.130 [9]. Where the text
indicates the status of a requirement (i.e. as strict command or prohibition, as authorization leaving
freedom, or as a capability or possibility), this shall be reflected in the text of the relevant stage two and
stage three ETSs.
Furthermore, conformance to this ETS is met by conforming to the stage three ETSs with the field of
application appropriate to the equipment being implemented. Therefore, no method of testing is provided
for this ETS.
