Foreword
This Interim European Telecommunication Standard (I-ETS) has been produced by the Terminal
Equipment (TE) Technical Committee of the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI).
Proposed announcement date
Date of adoption of this I-ETS: 23 August 1996
Date of latest announcement of this I-ETS (doa): 31 December 1996
An ETSI standard may be given I-ETS status either because it is regarded as a provisional solution ahead
of a more advanced standard, or because it is immature and requires a "trial period". The life of an I-ETS
is limited to three years after which it can be converted into an ETS, have it's life extended for a further
two years, be replaced by a new version, or be withdrawn.

1 Scope
This Interim European Telecommunication Standard (I-ETS) is applicable to Integrated Services Digital
Network (ISDN) basic access video telephony terminal equipment for connection at the S-reference point
or coincident S/T-reference point. It describes the D-channel signalling procedures which may be
implemented by terminals connected to the pan-European ISDN for use in cases where either:
a) the originating network has not implemented the procedures according to ETS 300 267-1 [1]; or
b) when interworking with a terminal connected to a digital network which does not support fully
compatible procedures.
The implementation of the procedures specified in ETS 300 267-1 [1] are likely to be introduced at
different points in time by the various network providers at the access (D-channel signalling, DSS1) or in
the network (Signalling system No. 7, ISDN User Part (ISUP)). Some networks (e.g. some non-European
networks) may not even implement those procedures at all. The support of this I-ETS by the terminal will
ensure an improved probability of success of videotelephony calls and avoid the occurrence of
unexpected clearing of calls as long as networks have not fully implemented the procedures according to
ETS 300 267-1 [1].
The requirements in this I-ETS are based on the procedures specified in ETS 300 267-1 [1] and
ETS 300 403-1 [2] and the use of the Bearer Capability, Low Layer Compatibility and High Layer
Compatibility information elements as specified in ETR 018 [3].
NOTE: The characteristics of the ISDN user-network interface are specified in ETS 300 012,
ETS 300 125 (see annex B), and ETS 300 403-1 [2].

3 Definitions and abbreviations
3.1 Definitions
For the purposes of this I-ETS, the relevant definitions used in ETS 300 143 [4], ETS 300 144 (see annex
B) and CCITT Recommendations I.112, I.230 and I.240 (see annex B) apply.
I-channel: The initial (or only) B-channel allocated to a call where inband signalling according to the
principles described in ETS 300 144 is applied.
modes of operation: For the videotelephony teleservice in the ISDN, the modes of operation are defined
in table 1 of ETS 300 145 [5].
telephony 3,1 kHz teleservice: A teleservice providing speech transmission at an audio bandwidth of
3,1 kHz. The communication is bi-directional, with both directions active during the speech phase. User
information is provided over a B-channel, signalling is provided over the D-channel (based on
ETS 300 111, clause 5 (see annex B)).
telephony 7 kHz teleservice: A real-time 7 kHz teleservice in which speech (7 kHz or 3,1 kHz bandwith)
can be interchanged using one circuit-mode 64 kbit/s connection. The audio bandwith conforms to CCITT
Recommendations G.722 and G.711 (see annex B) (based on ETS 300 263, clause 5 (see annex B)).
terminal types: For the videotelephony teleservice in the ISDN, the terminal types are defined in table 2
of ETS 300 145 [5].
videotelephony teleservice: A real-time audiovisual teleservice in which speech and moving pictures are
interchanged by means of one or two 64 kbit/s circuit-mode connections in the ISDN (based on
ETS 300 264, clause 5 (see annex B)).
3.2 Abbreviations
For the purposes of this I-ETS, the following abbreviations, in addition to those used in
CCITT Recommendations I.112, I.230 and I.240 (see annex B), apply.

4 Short term D-channel signalling procedures
4.1 General
The procedures of ETS 300 267-1 [1], i.e. provision of the Bearer Capability with information transfer
capability "Unrestricted Digital Information with Tones and Announcements (UDI-TA)" and the fallback
procedure (use of two Bearer Capability and High Layer Compatibility information elements in the SETUP
message), may not be implemented in all European and non-European ISDNs for an interim period of
time or at all. As a short term solution, terminals supporting the videotelephony teleservice shall meet,
along with the procedures specified in ETS 300 267-1 [1], the requirements described in the following
subclauses.
In principle, 3 different types of networks can be distinguished for the transition period:
Network type 1: This type of network supports the procedures specified in ETS 300 267-1 [1], in
particular the use of two Bearer Capability/High Layer Compatibility information
elements, at the access for the D-channel signalling as well as in the network for
the signalling system no. 7 (ISUP).

---------------------- Page: 10 ----------------------

SIST I-ETS 300 654 E1:2003
Page 9
I-ETS 300 654: September 1996
Network type 2: This type of network supports the procedures specified in ETS 300 267-1 [1] at
the access for the D-channel signalling, but not in the network for the signalling
system no. 7 (ISUP). In this case, the fallback procedures (use of two Bearer
Capability/High Layer Compatibility information elements in the SETUP
message), are not supported by the network.
Network type 3: This type of network does not support the procedures described in
ETS 300 267-1 [1], neither at the access for the D-channel signalling, nor in the
network for the signalling system no. 7 (ISUP).
NOTE 1: The networks type 2 and 3 may support of the Bearer Capability "UDI-TA" independent
from the fallback procedures.
NOTE 2: Videotelephony terminals may be connected outside Europe to another type of
network, providing only restricted transmission capabilities (e.g. 56 kbit/s).
For videotelephony terminals complying with this I-ETS, it shall be possible to pre-set the terminal to the
type of network which it is intended to be connected to. Procedures for changing the preset-value for the
network type shall be available for the user.
NOTE 3: The term "network type" is used only in the context of this I-ETS.
NOTE 4: Conformance test requirements for ETS 300 403-1 [2] are given in ETS 300 403 part 4
and part 5 .
NOTE 5: Conformance test requirements for the procedures in ETS 300 267-1 [1] are not yet
published.
Conformance test requirements are not included in this I-ETS.
4.2 Outgoing call
4.2.1 Videotelephony teleservice, outgoing call for the initial connection
Dependent on the type of network the terminal is connected to, the information elements contained in the
SETUP message for the initial connection shall be chosen according to tables A.1 and A.2 of annex A.1.
4.2.1.1 Outgoing call for network type 1
For network type 1, the procedures of ETS 300 267-1 [1] shall apply.
When the call setup for the initial connection is rejected by the network with a cause value that indicates
that the requested Bearer Capability (UDI-TA) is not supported by the destination network or the called
terminal, e.g. 31, 47, 65, 88, 127, then the terminal shall automatically repeat the call setup procedures by
requesting the "circuit-mode 64 kbit/s unrestricted 8 kHz structured bearer service category". The coding
of the Bearer Capability information element is described in ETR 018 [3].
NOTE 1: For further possible cause values, see ETS 300 485 (see annex B).
A High Layer Compatibility information element as described in ETR 018 [3], indicating "videotelephony,
CCITT Recommendation F.721" and possibly "initial channel", may be inserted into the SETUP message.
NOTE 2: For an interim period of time it is not guaranteed that all networks will support the
transport and/or delivery of the High Layer Compatibility information element to the
called terminal. In addition, transport of octet 4 may, in some circumstances be
supported, but the transport of octet 4a will not.

4.2.1.2 Outgoing call for network type 2
For network type 2, the procedures of ETS 300 267-1 [1] apply with the following exception:
The terminal shall always send a SETUP message containing only one Bearer Capability information
element and one High Layer Compatibility information element according to table A.2 to the network, even
in the case where fallback is allowed.
When the call setup for the initial connection is rejected by the network with a cause value that indicates
that the requested Bearer Capability (UDI-TA) is not supported by the destination network or the called
terminal, e.g. 31, 47, 65, 88, 127, then the terminal shall automatically repeat the call setup procedures by
requesting the "circuit-mode 64 kbit/s unrestricted 8 kHz structured bearer service category". The coding
of the Bearer Capability information element is described in ETR 018 [3].
NOTE 1: For further possible cause values, see ETS 300 403-1 [2].
A High Layer Compatibility information element as described in ETR 018 [3], indicating "videotelephony,
CCITT Recommendation F.721" and possibly "initial channel", may be inserted into the SETUP message.
NOTE 2: For an interim period of time it is not guaranteed that all networks will support the
transport and/or delivery of the High Layer Compatibility information element to the
called terminal. In addition, transport of octet 4 may, in some circumstances be
supported, but the transport of octet 4a will not.
If this second call attempt is rejected with a cause value 18 (no user responding) and the calling user had
allowed fallback, then a third call setup shall automatically be initiated as a request for the telephony
3,1 kHz teleservice.
The human user shall be informed about the repeated call attempts.
NOTE 3: For networks of type 2, the procedures of ETS 300 267-1 [1] could apply in principle.
However, it should be noted that, when a user requests the videotelephony teleservice
with fallback allowed, fallback will always occur. Thus the resulting service will be the
telephony 3,1 kHz teleservice.
4.2.1.3 Outgoing call for network type 3
For network type 3, when initiating an outgoing call for the initial connection, the terminal shall request the
"circuit-mode 64 kbit/s unrestricted 8 kHz structured bearer service category". The coding of the Bearer
Capability information element is described in ETR 018 [3].
A High Layer Compatibility information element as described in ETR 018 [3], indicating "videotelephony,
CCITT Recommendation F.721" and possibly "initial channel", may be inserted into the SETUP message.
NOTE: For an interim period of time it is not guaranteed that all networks will support the
transport and/or delivery of the High Layer Compatibility information element to the
called terminal. In addition, transport of octet 4 may, in some circumstances, be
supported but the transport of octet 4a will not.
If the call attempt is rejected with a cause value 18 and the user had allowed fallback, then another call
setup shall automatically be initiated as a request for the telephony 3,1 kHz teleservice.
The user shall be informed about the repeated call attempt.
