SIST EN 301 691 V1.1.1:2003 is the Slovenian adoption of ETSI EN 301 691 V1.1.1 for the Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) Remote Control (RC) service. It gives the Stage 1 service description from the user’s point of view, specifying what the RC service does, how a served user invokes it, and how it applies in public ISDN and related interworking cases.
What does SIST EN 301 691 V1.1.1:2003 specify?
SIST EN 301 691 V1.1.1:2003 specifies the RC service for pan-European ISDN as provided by public telecommunication operators. It covers the service description, the user-facing procedures, interworking with private ISDNs and non-ISDNs, and the supplementary services that can be controlled remotely.
The standard is organized into scope, references, definitions and abbreviations, description, procedures, intercommunication considerations, interaction with supplementary services, and an annex. Charging principles are outside its scope, and it describes Stage 1 only - the overall service view rather than signalling or network protocol details.

What are the key requirements of SIST EN 301 691 V1.1.1:2003?
Provision and subscription
SIST EN 301 691 V1.1.1:2003 requires the RC service to be provided by prior arrangement with the service provider, and it assigns a confidential code for authentication at provision. In practice, this means the provider controls how the service is set up and which security mechanism is used.
The service may apply to the whole access or, as a service provider option, to an ISDN number. The provider also specifies which supplementary services can be remotely controlled, so the user knows which functions are available before trying to operate them.
Remote control operation
SIST EN 301 691 V1.1.1:2003 allows a served user to activate, deactivate, register, erase, and interrogate supported supplementary services from another access. The RC service is available to users connected via basic access or primary rate access.
Invocation may take place from any remote location, using the home ISDN number and either a PIN alone or a PIN and TAN, depending on the chosen authentication procedure. The standard says the home access must be protected against unauthorized operation, so security is part of every remote action.
The service can control more than one supplementary service in a single invocation. Existing calls at the home access are not affected by invocation, but new calls are affected by whatever supplementary service actions are carried out through RC.
Status, rejection, and interworking
SIST EN 301 691 V1.1.1:2003 defines interrogation as a status check that returns whether the RC service is active or not active. If a request is rejected, the network or provider gives a reason such as failed authentication, unsupported remote activation, no subscription, or use of the home access for invocation.
The standard also covers interworking with non-ISDNs and private ISDNs. This matters where users control services across network boundaries, and the home location ISDN number is used to distinguish private and public service control.
Annex A identifies the supplementary services that are recommended for remote control, including call forwarding and call barring related services, line hunting, and trunk hunting. That annex helps implementers know which service types the RC framework is intended to cover.
What terms does SIST EN 301 691 V1.1.1:2003 define?
- Remote Control (RC) service - A service that lets a served user control certain supplementary services from another access.
- Served user - The user to whom the RC service is provided.
- Home location - The location where the service provider considers the user’s ISDN number and services to be registered.
- Remote location - Any location other than the home location.
- Confidential code - A character combination used to identify the served user during RC operation.
- Personal Identification Number (PIN) - A 4 to 12 character alphanumeric code or password used for authentication with the access device.
- Transaction number (TAN) - A one-time alphanumeric code selected from a list for authentication with the access device.
Who uses SIST EN 301 691 V1.1.1:2003?
SIST EN 301 691 V1.1.1:2003 is used by ISDN service providers, network planners, and implementers of supplementary services that need remote administration. It is also relevant to teams defining authentication procedures, because the standard links RC operation to security mechanisms such as PIN and TAN.
Engineers working on public ISDN, private ISDN interworking, and service control features use it to align the user-facing service description with later stage standards. Quality and compliance teams use it to check that the deployed service matches the documented subscription options, invocation rules, and rejection handling.
Which standards are used with SIST EN 301 691 V1.1.1:2003?
- ITU-T Recommendation I.130 - Provides the three-stage method used to describe telecommunication services, including Stage 1, Stage 2, and Stage 3.
- ITU-T Recommendation I.112 - Provides ISDN vocabulary and the definitions used for access types and ISDN terms.
- ITU-T Recommendation I.210 - Gives the principles and description method for telecommunication services supported by ISDN.
- ETSI ETS 300 345 - Covers interworking between public ISDNs and private ISDNs for telecommunication services.
- ETSI EN 301 132 - Provides security tools for use within telecommunication services and supports the authentication level used for RC actions.
What does the SIST EN 301 691 V1.1.1:2003 document contain?
The document contains the Stage 1 service description, the procedural model for provision, activation, interrogation, and withdrawal, and the rules for handling successful and rejected requests. It also contains the intercommunication clauses for non-ISDN and private ISDN cases, plus the interaction statement for supplementary services.
Tables 1 and 2 summarize subscription options, and Annex A lists the remotely controllable supplementary services. In practice, the document is used as a service specification for design and implementation, not as a test method or signalling protocol document.
