Foreword
This second edition European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) has been produced by the Terminal
Equipment (TE) Technical Committee of the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI).
The objective of this specification, the application of which is entirely voluntary, is to provide the users with
an added degree of assurance that modems in compliance with this specification can interwork with each
other, under most network conditions.
This ETS contains the technical characteristics required for end-to-end interworking over the Public
Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), for 2 400 bits per second duplex modems standardized for use
over the PSTN.
These requirements are based upon, and do not conflict with, CCITT Recommendation V.22bis [2].
Additionally, requirements are included relating to end-to-end inter-operability over PSTN connections.
Such requirements are in excess of the CCITT/ITU-T Recommendations.
Except where otherwise stated, a modem which complies with CCITT Recommendation V.22bis [2]
should always meet the requirements of this ETS which relate to parameters specified in that CCITT
Recommendation.
Clause 4 of this ETS references the requirements which are common to both Category I and Category II
modems, which are contained in clause 4 of final draft prETS 300 114 [1]. The definition of Category I and
Category II modems can be found in the foreword of final draft ETS 300 114 [1].
Clause 5 of this ETS contains Category II requirements specific to 2 400 bits per second duplex modems.
In the case of certain functions common to a number of different types of modem (e.g. Auto-answering
sequence) reference is made to clause 5 of final draft prETS 300 114 [1] which contains the relevant
requirements.
Transposition dates
Date of adoption of this ETS: 26 April 1996

Date of latest publication of new National Standard
or endorsement of this ETS (dop/e): 29 February 1997
Date of withdrawal of any conflicting National Standard (dow): 29 February 1997

1 Scope
This ETS contains the technical characteristics required for end-to-end interworking over the Public
Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) of 2 400 bits per second (bit/s) duplex modems standardized for
use over the PSTN, in accordance with CCITT Recommendation V.22bis [2].
The term "modem" in the context of this ETS includes all physical implementation practices for a voice
band modem, which is conductively connected to the PSTN.
This ETS specifies four modes of operation each with up to five modes of use (see subclause 5.2).
This ETS also contains descriptions of the tests to be performed in order to confirm compliance with the
functional requirements contained herein. A general description of the test conditions and test
requirements is given in annex A.
2 Normative references

3 Definitions and abbreviations
3.1 Definitions
For the purpose of this ETS the definitions of final draft prETS 300 114 [1] apply, together with the
following:
Initiation and Acknowledgement Signal (S1): Comprises an unscrambled repetitive double dibit pattern
of '00' and '11' at 1 200 bit/s.
Modem Conformance Tester (MCT): This is essentially a modem to the same recommendation as the
modem under test, but the individual sub-systems within it are both accessible (e.g. provide test points
and permit functions to be enabled or disabled when required) and externally controllable (e.g. permit
sequences such as the start up procedure to be selectively repeated). The sub-systems within a
conformance tester may be constructed as discrete items of equipment, so as to permit their assembly
into varying configurations required to suit the tests (e.g. the asynchronous to synchronous converter may
be simply applied to a synchronous CCITT Recommendation V.22 [3] conformance tester to achieve an
asynchronous CCITT Recommendation V.22 [3] conformance tester).
As an interim measure, until the conformance tester is defined, its definition agreed to be appropriate by
ETSI, and such a tester is available, a modem used for reference may be used in its place. In the case
that the modem used for reference has not been shown to conform to the ETS in the relevant modes of
operation/use, in the relevant modes of use/operation, the testing authority ensures that the modem used
for reference complies with the relevant ETS to the extent necessary for the performance of the test.

4 General requirements
4.1 References to other ETSs
The modem shall comply with final draft prETS 300 114 [1], clause 4.
NOTE: Final draft prETS 300 114 [1] in turn refers to ETS 300 001 [4] for the majority, if not
all, of its requirements.
4.2 Information to be provided by the applicant
4.2.1 Information required for testing purposes
The applicant shall declare for which of the modes of operation/use identified in this ETS the modem is
supposed to undergo tests.
Compliance is considered to have been accomplished by provision of the relevant information.
NOTE: This could be accomplished by completion of forms such as those provided in annex C
(informative).
4.2.2 Instructions for use
Instructions for use shall be made available with the apparatus. The instructions for use shall include:
a) the apparatus or types of apparatus to which the instructions apply;
b) any information specifically indicated in this ETS for inclusion in the "Instructions for use";
c) any national restrictions on the use of the apparatus.
Any additional information that has been included shall be disregarded unless it is the subject of another
ETS.
Compliance shall be checked by inspection.
5 Functional requirements specific to Category II modems
5.1 General requirements
To comply with the requirements of this ETS, the modem shall provide:
a) duplex mode of operation with continuous carrier, by means of the modulation scheme specified in
CCITT Recommendation V.22bis [2];
b) channel separation by frequency division;
c) means by which the channels may be selected either manually and/or automatically, where a
modem is capable of transmitting in either of the two channels;
d) provision of a guard tone of 1 800 Hz ± 20 Hz, which a modem is to transmit while transmitting in
the high channel;
e) signalling rates of 2 400 bit/s and 1 200 bit/s;
f) the interchange circuits (or equivalent) that are required to change state after an identifiable event
or point in time, shall have changed state within a maximum of 3 seconds of that event, unless
otherwise specified (see note 4).
NOTE 1: The general requirements described above are a subset of those given in CCITT
Recommendation V.22bis [2]. In the requirements which follow any deviations from the
strict interpretation of the CCITT Recommendation V.22bis [2] have been identified.

SIST ETS 300 117 E2:2003
Page 12
ETS 300 117: May 1996
NOTE 2: In the following, references are made to interchange circuits between the modem and
the Data Terminal Equipment (DTE), as defined in CCITT Recommendation V.24.
However, not all modems provide an interface with such circuits. For these cases the
references to CCITT Recommendation V.24 type interchange circuits indicate
equivalent operation of a DTE and of a modem where this exists.
NOTE 3: To perform certain tests specified herein, it is desirable that it be possible to disable
the transmit scrambler of the modem.
NOTE 4: This requirement is in addition to CCITT Recommendation V.22 [3].
5.2 Modes
It shall be possible to configure the modem to operate at 2 400 bit/s and at 1 200 bit/s in at least one of
the following modes of use for either the call mode or the answer mode or, optionally, both the call and
answer modes:
a) asynchronous with 8 bits per character;
b) asynchronous with 9 bits per character;
c) asynchronous with 10 bits per character;
d) asynchronous with 11 bits per character;
e) synchronous.
In the asynchronous (start-stop) modes of use, the modem shall accept a data stream from the DTE at a
nominal rate of 2 400 bit/s and 1 200 bit/s. The asynchronous data to be transmitted shall be converted
into a synchronous data stream in accordance with subclause 5.9 to be suitable for transmission.
Demodulated data shall be decoded in accordance with subclause 5.5, then descrambled in accordance
with subclause 5.10, it shall then be passed for reconversion into an asynchronous data stream in
accordance with subclause 5.9.
In the synchronous modes of use, the modem shall accept synchronous data from the DTE. The data
shall then be scrambled in accordance with subclause 5.10 and passed to the modulator for encoding in
accordance with subclause 5.5.
Demodulated data shall be decoded in accordance with subclause 5.5, then descrambled in accordance
with subclause 5.10.
Optionally, the modem may also provide facilities to instigate:
a) a retrain procedure during data transmission if the modem detects a loss of equalization; and/or
b) a rate change in a remote modem and also to respond to a rate change request. This facility, when
provided, permits modems to alter their rate of operation from 2 400 bit/s to 1 200 bit/s, and vice
versa, without disconnection from the PSTN.
It shall be the applicant's responsibility to specify for which of these modes of operation/use testing for
conformance to this ETS is required.
5.3 Line signals
5.3.1 Carrier frequencies
The carrier frequencies shall be 1 200 Hz ± 0,5 Hz for the low channel and 2 400 Hz ± 1 Hz for the high
channel.
Compliance shall be checked by the method described in annex A, clause A.2.

---------------------- Page: 14 ----------------------

SIST ETS 300 117 E2:2003
Page 13
ETS 300 117: May 1996
5.3.2 Guard tone
5.3.2.1 Guard tone - call mode modem
When the modem is transmitting in the low channel, it shall not transmit the guard tone specified in
subclause 5.3.2.2.
Compliance shall be checked by the method described in annex A, subclause A.3.1.
5.3.2.2 Guard tone - Answer Mode Modem (AMM)
When the modem is transmitting in the high channel, a guard tone at 1 800 Hz ± 20 Hz shall be
transmitted simultaneously. The level of the guard tone shall be 6 dB ± 1 dB below the level of the data
signal in the high channel.
Optionally, facilities may be provided to disable the transmission of the guard tone of 1 800 Hz. Since the
provision of the guard tone is mandatory, all tests in this ETS shall be carried out with guard tone present.
Compliance shall be checked by the method described in annex A, subclause A.3.2.
The overall level of the guard tone and the data signal of a CCITT Recommendation V.22bis [2] modem
shall remain in compliance with the in-band spectral power limits for the network to which they are being
connected (see final draft prETS 300 114 [1], clause 4).
NOTE: The purpose of the guard tone is to inhibit the false operation of in-band signalling
systems such as in international networks (see CCITT Recommendation Q.144). It is
thought by some that a marginal performance advantage may be gained as a result of
the slightly higher transmit level possible when the guard tone is disabled and therefore
this option is permitted.
5.3.3 Transmitted spectrum
The national network specific spectral power limits are specified in final draft prETS 300 114 [1], clause 4.
NOTE: Final draft prETS 300 114 [1], clause 4 in turn refers to ETS 300 001 [4]. There are no
requirements in this ETS relating to the spectrum of signals presented to the PSTN
over and above those for PSTN access invoked by subclause 4.1.
5.4 Line signalling rates
The signalling rates transmitted to line shall be 2 400 bit/s and 1 200 bit/s ± 0,01 %.
Compliance shall be checked by the method described in annex A, clause A.4.
5.5 Encoding and decoding of data
The encoding and decoding of data shall be in accordance with CCITT Recommendation V.22bis [2],
section 2.5.2 and table 1/V.22bis.
Until a Modem Conformance Tester (MCT) is available, compliance shall be checked by inspection of the
applicant's declaration of conformance. When a MCT is available, compliance shall be checked by the
method described in annex A, cl
