SIST ETS 300 409 E1:2003 is the Slovenian adoption of ETS 300 409 Edition 1 from ETSI. It gives the stage 1 service description of the Eurofile transfer teleservice for ISDN, from the user’s point of view, covering how calls are set up and ended, how files are exchanged, and how terminals are managed.

It is aimed at people specifying, implementing, or assessing Eurofile teleservice support in public ISDN and in the private ISDN cases covered by the document.

What does SIST ETS 300 409 E1:2003 specify?

SIST ETS 300 409 E1:2003 specifies the stage 1 description of the Eurofile transfer teleservice. In practice, that means the document describes the service as the user experiences it, rather than the detailed signalling or switching needed to build it.

The scope focuses on service behaviour in the ISDN environment provided by European public telecommunications operators. It also covers the base functionality when the service is offered through a private ISDN and the interworking requirements between private ISDNs and the public ISDN.

The document excludes human-interface details, charging principles, and the values of the general attributes. It is organized into scope, normative references, definitions, abbreviations, service description, procedures, intercommunication considerations, interaction with other supplementary services, static attribute description, and dynamic description.

What are the key requirements of SIST ETS 300 409 E1:2003?

SIST ETS 300 409 E1:2003 defines how Eurofile works as an end-to-end file transfer teleservice over ISDN. The main requirements are about bearer use, call handling, file transfer behaviour, identification, and terminal administration.

Service model and bearer use

The Eurofile teleservice uses one B-channel during a call, and terminals shall use the 64 kbit/s bearer capability within ISDN. This matters because it fixes the service on a circuit-mode, 64 kbit/s connection rather than an arbitrary data path.

Call establishment and termination

A call is originated by a request to the called terminal and must include the ISDN number of the called user. The calling user also indicates the in-band protocol to be used, and the user is informed whether the call succeeds or fails.

Call setup, call maintenance, call termination, and exceptional call-failure procedures follow the corresponding circuit-mode 64 kbit/s unrestricted bearer service procedures. For implementers, this means the Eurofile service reuses the standard ISDN call-control behaviour instead of defining a separate one.

Identification and access control

The terminal may let the user supply an identifier when the call starts, and that identifier is exchanged during in-band negotiation. The called terminal can use a remote user name and password stored in an access control list to accept or refuse the call and to define which services and files are visible.

Calling Line Identification (CLI) may also help identify the caller’s location. In practice, this means access can be controlled by user credentials, by network identity, or by both.

File transfer behaviour

Only the calling entity can initiate file transfer procedures, but both sides can transfer one or more files in either direction. File names used for transfer must be unique in the remote filestore and independent of the operating system.

The copied file shall be logically identical to the original in content. The calling side can list the file names visible in the remote filestore, and the remote side can restrict visibility through access rules.

Filestore, management, and recovery

Every terminal provides at least one mandatory filestore, and it may also offer navigation filestores for selecting remote storage areas. Within the access rights given by the remote entity, the local entity can rename, delete, and perform similar management actions on remote files.

The document also allows an automatic communication mode and requires a file transmission recovery mechanism when that mode is supported. That is important for unattended operation and interrupted transfers.

Interworking and service interaction

Interworking with private ISDNs follows the general requirements in ETS 300 345. Interaction with other supplementary services follows the rules of ETS 300 108, and Terminal Portability (TP) shall not be used. This tells integrators what combinations are allowed and which service interactions to avoid.

What terms does SIST ETS 300 409 E1:2003 define?

• Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) - The document uses the standard ISDN concept from CCITT Recommendation I.112 as the network environment for the service.
• Teleservice - A telecommunications service where the service is defined end to end, including the user experience.
• Filestore - The work space that contains files available for file transfer operations.
• Navigation - The ability to change and manage the set of files in the remote entity.
• Dedicated terminal - A terminal that supports only the Eurofile teleservice.
• Multiservice terminal - A terminal that supports the Eurofile teleservice together with other bearer services and teleservices.
• Identifier - A user name and optionally a password used during call and access handling.
• Calling Line Identification (CLI) - Network-provided caller identity information that can help identify the calling location.

Who uses SIST ETS 300 409 E1:2003?

SIST ETS 300 409 E1:2003 is used by telecom engineers, terminal manufacturers, and service designers who need to implement Eurofile support in ISDN equipment. It is also relevant to operators and network planners who must handle call setup, interworking, and supplementary-service interactions.

Quality managers and buyers can use it to check whether a terminal or platform supports the expected Eurofile functions, such as file exchange, remote file management, access control, and optional automatic mode. Administrators may also use it when setting up correspondent phonebooks, access control lists, and local configuration parameters.

Which standards are used with SIST ETS 300 409 E1:2003?

• ETS 300 383 - Provides the detailed Eurofile transfer profile that this service description relies on for file transfer functions, access control, navigation, logs, and recovery.
• ETS 300 108 - Supplies the circuit-mode 64 kbit/s unrestricted bearer service description used for call control, exceptional procedures, and the dynamic description.
• ETS 300 102 - Defines user-network interface layer 3 basic call control and is part of the signalling access used by the service.
• ETS 300 125 - Defines user-network interface data link layer specifications for the D-channel signalling access.
• ETS 300 080 - Gives ISDN lower-layer protocols for telematic terminals and is named for the information access protocol.
• ETS 300 345 - Gives the general requirements for interworking between public and private ISDNs.
• CCITT Recommendation E.164 - Provides the ISDN numbering plan used for dialling information.
• CCITT Recommendation I.130 - Provides the three-stage method used to describe ISDN services.
• CCITT Recommendation I.210 - Provides principles for describing ISDN telecommunication services.
• CCITT Recommendation I.220 - Provides the common dynamic description used for call-control aspects.

What does the SIST ETS 300 409 E1:2003 document contain?

The document contains the full stage 1 service description, followed by procedures for call establishment, file transfer, exceptional handling, and terminal management. It also includes a static description using low-layer, access, and high-layer attributes.

Table 1 gives the information transfer attributes, and Table 2 gives the access attributes. The document also includes Figure 1, which shows a generic Eurofile terminal, and the clause structure makes clear where interoperability, interworking, and supplementary-service interaction are addressed.

For implementers, the most useful parts are the procedures in Clause 6, the intercommunication considerations in Clause 7, and the attribute model in Clause 9. For testers and reviewers, the document is mainly a behavioural reference, since it states that no test method is provided and that conformance is tied to the related stage 3 and end-to-end standards.

Page 7ETS 300 409: June 19951ScopeThis European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) defines the stage one of the Eurofile transferteleservice for the pan-European Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) as provided by Europeanpublic telecommunications operators. Stage one is an overall service description from the user's point ofview (see CCITT Recommendation I.130 [7]) but does not deal with the details of the human interfaceitself.This ETS does 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 atelecommunications network that is not an ISDN but does include interworking requirements of othernetworks 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 Eurofile teleservice is a service enabling users to exchange files between different types ofequipment.This ETS is applicable to the stage two and stage three ETSs for the ISDN Eurofile teleservice. The terms"stage two" and "stage three" are also defined in CCITT Recommendation I.130 [7]. Where the textindicates the status of a requirement (i.e. as strict command or prohibition, as authorization leavingfreedom, or as a capability or possibility), this shall be reflected in the text of the relevant stage two andstage three ETSs.Furthermore, conformance to this ETS is met by conforming to the stage three ETSs with the field ofapplication appropriate to the equipment being implemented and by conforming to the ETSs 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 ETS.2Normative referencesThis ETS incorporates by dated and undated reference, provisions from other publications.
