SIST TBR 014 E1:2004 is the Slovenian standard published by SIST and identical to ETSI TBR 014 Edition 1 for Business TeleCommunications (BTC) 64 kbit/s digital unrestricted leased line with octet integrity (D64U). It specifies the attachment requirements for the terminal equipment interface and the test principles used to check compliance for equipment connected to ONP leased lines.

What does SIST TBR 014 E1:2004 specify?

SIST TBR 014 E1:2004 specifies the essential requirements for connecting terminal equipment to the network termination points of ONP 64 kbit/s digital unrestricted leased lines with octet integrity. It covers the interface's physical and electrical characteristics and the compliance test principles used to verify them.

The scope is limited to attachment requirements under the Second Phase Directive framework. Customer premises wiring and the installation between the equipment and the Network Termination Point (NTP) are outside the scope.

The document is organized into:

• Scope
• Normative references
• Definitions
• Symbols and abbreviations
• Requirements
• Annexes for test methods, code conversion rules, and bibliography

Annex	What it covers
Annex A	Normative test methods for compliance
Annex B	Normative code conversion rules for the 64 kbit/s codirectional interface
Annex C	Informative bibliography and related references

What are the key requirements of SIST TBR 014 E1:2004?

The main requirements are in Clause 5 and Annexes A and B. In practice, they tell equipment makers what connector, signal shape, timing behavior, and protection behavior the terminal equipment interface must present to the leased line.

Interface purpose and timing

SIST TBR 014 E1:2004 applies to bidirectional, point-to-point digital connections with a usable bit rate of 64 kbit/s. The leased line output timing is provided by the network, and the interface timing arrangements are codirectional.

That matters because the terminal equipment must work with the network timing model rather than generate an arbitrary local interface timing. A design that ignores this will not attach correctly to the D64U service.

Physical connection

Clause 5.1 requires the terminal equipment to provide an 8-contact plug of the type specified in ISO/IEC 10173, with the contact assignments given in Table 1. The document also allows an alternative method of connection, mainly for hardwired presentations.

For practical implementation, contacts 1 and 2 form the receive pair, 4 and 5 form the transmit pair, and contacts 3 and 6 are shield reference points if provided. Contacts 7 and 8 are unused. The plug type is checked visually, and the contact assignments are verified indirectly through the tests in Annex A.

Output signal coding and waveform

Clause 5.2.1.1 requires the transmitted signal at the output port to follow the code conversion rules in Annex B. Annex B defines how binary data is mapped to the codirectional 64 kbit/s signal.

Clause 5.2.1.2 requires the output pulse shape to meet the masks and values based on CCITT Recommendation G.703. The test uses a 120 Ω non-reactive load, nominal 1 V marks, space levels near zero, and balanced positive and negative pulse characteristics. In practice, this is the part that ensures the signal on the interface is electrically compatible with the network termination.

Output jitter

Clause 5.2.1.3 limits peak-to-peak output jitter and refers to Table 3 for the measurement filters and limits. The requirement applies both when the terminal equipment uses an internal clock source and when it derives timing from an external source, including the input signal.

For testing, the input signal used to derive timing must be stressed with the maximum tolerable input jitter and frequency deviation declared by the manufacturer. Annex A.2.3 then defines the measurement setup, including the use of sinusoidal jitter at specific frequencies. This matters because timing instability can affect error performance and interoperability on the leased line.

Protection, safety and EMC boundary

Clause 5.4 sets overvoltage protection requirements for mains-powered terminal equipment. It covers impulse transfer from mains in common mode and transverse mode, and conversion of common mode to transverse mode at the interface.

Clause 5.3 states that there are no safety requirements under this TBR, and Clause 5.5 states that there are no EMC requirements under this TBR. In practice, this standard is about attachment behavior at the leased-line interface, while broader safety and EMC obligations are handled elsewhere.

Test conditions and compliance checking

Annex A requires tests to be performed at the NTP plug under defined environmental conditions, normally at +19 °C to +25 °C and 10 % to 75 % relative humidity. For mains-powered equipment, the supply is tested at ±5 % of rated voltage, and for ac supplies the frequency is within ±4 % of the rated frequency.

Annex A also allows an alternative test connection for the waveform-shape test when provided by the supplier. This is important because the waveform test is based on the interface itself, not on the characteristics of a cord or installation lead.

What terms does SIST TBR 014 E1:2004 define?

• Leased lines - Telecommunications facilities provided by a public telecommunications network with defined transmission characteristics between network termination points and no user-controlled switching.
• Network Termination Point (NTP) - The physical connections and technical access specifications that form part of the public network and are needed for access and communication.
• Terminal Equipment (TE) - Equipment intended to connect to the public telecommunications network to send, process, or receive information.
• Safety Extra-Low Voltage (SELV) circuit - A secondary circuit designed and protected so accessible voltages remain at a safe value under normal and single fault conditions.
• D64U - The 64 kbit/s digital unrestricted ONP leased line with octet integrity.
• PRBS(2 -1) - The pseudo random bit sequence identified in CCITT Recommendation O.152 and used as a test pattern.
• TX - Transmit, meaning a signal output at the terminal equipment interface or test equipment.
• RX - Receive, meaning a signal input at the terminal equipment interface or test equipment.

Who uses SIST TBR 014 E1:2004?

SIST TBR 014 E1:2004 is used by terminal equipment designers and suppliers who need to build equipment for ONP leased lines. It is also used by test laboratories and conformity teams that verify plug type, signal coding, waveform shape, jitter, and protection behavior.

Telecommunications organizations and network-facing technical teams use it when providing the leased line interface and checking that terminal equipment can attach correctly. Buyers, specifiers, and quality managers use it to identify the exact interface conditions and the type of evidence they should expect from a supplier or test lab.

Which standards are used with SIST TBR 014 E1:2004?

The document relies on several external standards and companion parts:

• CCITT Recommendation G.703 (1991) - The basis for the physical and electrical characteristics of the interface, including pulse shape and code-related behavior.
• CCITT Recommendation O.152 (1988) - Provides the basis for the PRBS(2 -1) test sequence and related error-performance measurement equipment.
• ETS 300 046-3 (1992) - Supplies the protection test methods used for the overvoltage requirements in Clause 5.4.
• ISO/IEC 10173 (1991) - Specifies the 8-contact plug type used for the terminal interface.
• ETS 300 288 (1994) - Gives the network interface presentation for the same D64U service.
• ETS 300 289 (1994) - Gives the connection characteristics for the same D64U service.
• ETS 300 290 (1994) - The fuller terminal equipment interface specification of which this TBR is a subset.
• EN 60950 (1992) - Named in the safety note as the standard that gives detailed requirements for SELV circuits.

What does the SIST TBR 014 E1:2004 document contain?

The document contains a structured set of requirements, test methods, and illustrative figures for the D64U terminal equipment interface. It includes Table 1 for contact assignment, Table 2 for waveform shape, Table 3 for maximum output jitter, and Table 4 for input jitter used during output jitter measurement.

Annex A describes the test methods, including equipment connection, test environment, signal coding, waveform shape, and jitter measurement. Annex B gives the code conversion rules for the 64 kbit/s codirectional interface, including the block coding and polarity-violation rule that marks octet timing.

The figures support the technical checks by showing the interface layout, pulse masks, and jitter tolerance curve. Annex C lists the bibliography and related publications used as background or supporting references.

Foreword
This Technical Basis for Regulation (TBR) has been produced by the Business TeleCommunications (BTC)
Technical Committee of the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) and was adopted
after having passed through the ETSI standards approval procedure.
This TBR results from a mandate from the Commission of the European Community (CEC) to provide
harmonized standards for the support of the Terminal Equipment Directive (91/263/EEC).
This TBR is based on information from CCITT Recommendations and ETSI publications and the relevant
documents are quoted where appropriate.
Introduction
The Council Directive on the application of Open Network Provision (ONP) to leased lines (92/44/EEC)
concerns the harmonization of conditions for open and efficient access to, and use of, the leased lines
provided on public telecommunications networks, and the availability throughout the Community (EEC) of a
minimum set of leased lines with harmonized technical characteristics.
The consequence of the Directive is that Telecommunications Organizations within the EEC shall make
available a set of leased lines between points in these countries with specified connection characteristics
and specified interfaces.
Two classes of standard will be used for the interfaces of terminal equipment designed for connection to
the ONP leased lines. European Telecommunication Standards (ETSs), which are voluntary, give the full
technical specifications for these interfaces, whereas Technical Basis for Regulations (TBRs) give the
essential requirements under the Second Phase Directive (91/263/EEC) for attachment to the leased lines.
This TBR is a subset of the corresponding ETS 300 290 (1993).
CCITT Recommendation G.703 (1991), as qualified by ETS 300 166 (1993), is used as the basis for the
terminal interface.

1 Scope
This TBR specifies the attachment requirements and corresponding test principles for a terminal equipment
interface for connection to the network termination points of ONP 64 kbit/s digital unrestricted leased lines
with octet integrity.
The term "attachment requirements" in the context of this TBR describes the essential requirements for
access which have to be fulfilled under the Second Phase Directive (91/263/EEC). Conformance to these
requirements does not guarantee end-to-end interoperability.
This TBR is applicable to interfaces designed for connection to the ONP 64 kbit/s unrestricted leased line
with octet integrity. It covers the physical and electrical characteristics of the terminal equipment interface.
Customer premises wiring and installation between the equipment and the Network Termination Point
(NTP) are outside the scope of this TBR.
2 Normative references
This TBR incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These normative
references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter. For
dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this TBR
only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references the latest edition of the
publication referred to applies.

Network (ISDN) primary access connector at reference points S and T".
NOTE: This TBR also contains a number of informative references which have been included to
indicate the sources from which various material has been derived, hence they do not
have an associated normative reference number. Details of these publications are given
in Annex C. In some cases the same publication may have been referenced in both a
normative and an informative manner.
3 Definitions
For the purposes of this TBR, the following definitions apply:
Leased lines: the telecommunications facilities provided by a public telecommunications network that
provide defined transmission characteristics between network termination points and that do not include
switching functions that the user can control (e.g. on-demand switching).
Network Termination Point (NTP): all physical connections and their technical access specifications
which form part of the public telecommunications network and are necessary for access to and efficient
communication through that public network.
Safety Extra-Low Voltage (SELV) circuit: a secondary circuit which is so designed and protected that
under normal and single fault conditions, the voltage between any two accessible parts and, for class 1
equipment, between any accessible part and the equipment protective earthing terminal does not exceed a
safe value (subclause 1.2.8.5 of EN 60950).

TBR 014: April 1994
Terminal Equipment (TE): equipment intended to be connected to the public telecommunications network,
i.e.:
a) to be connected directly to the termination of a public telecommunication network; or
b) to interwork with a public telecommunications network being connected directly or indirectly to
the termination of a public telecommunications network,
in order to send, process, or receive information.

ISO/IEC 10173 [4] with contact assignments as specified in table 1. In addition, the terminal equipment
may provide an alternative method of connection.
NOTE 1: The use of a shielded cord or cable may be necessary to meet radiation and immunity
requirements defined in Electro-Magnetic Compatibility (EMC) standards. The common
reference point does not necessarily need to be earthed.

5.2.1.3 Output jitter
This requirement applies when the terminal equipment is producing the timing from an internal clock source
or when the terminal equipment is deriving the output timing from an external source (including derivation
from the input signal).
1)
Requirement : The peak-to-peak output jitter shall not exceed the limits of table 3 when measured with
first order linear filters with the defined cut-off frequencies. For the purpose of testing, any signal input
from which the output timing is derived shall be provided with the maximum tolerable input jitter and with
the maximum tolerable input frequency deviation specified by the manufacturer.

1)
This requirement differs from that in ETR 005 (1990) which defines maximum output jitter in terms of intrinsic jitter and a jitter
transfer characteristic. Intrinsic jitter is limited to 0,05 UI from 20 Hz to 20 kHz. The jitter transfer characteristic is limited to 0,5 dB
from 20 Hz to 3 kHz, decreasing to -16 dB at 20 kHz.
