INTERNATIONAL TELECOMMUNICATION UNION
ITU-T RECOMMENDATION SUMMARY
Rec. No. : F.59
Title : General characteristics of the international telex service
Study Group : I - Services
Version : New
Date of adoption : 1991
Notes :
The international telex service is a service provided by
telecommunication Administrations of almost all countries of the
world for the purpose of text communication. In its basic form it is
used for directly transmitting telex messages between subscriber
terminal equipment connected to the telex network or to/from public
telex stations.
Recommendation F.59 summarizes the service characteristics of the
international telex service and the service-related basic
characteristics of telex terminal equipment.
This summary of all service-related principles for the international
telex service is intended to facilitate a common understanding of
this service, bearing in mind:
- that the international telex service is the only text
communication subscriber service available throughout the
world;
- that the perceived special merits of this service are its
technical reliability and operational simplicity;
- that the operational provisions for the international telex
service can be found in Recommendation F.60,
but other service principles and service-oriented network and terminal
characteristics have to be selected from a number of F-, R-, S- and
U-Series Recommendations in addition.
This summary should also be the basis for all considerations of
interworking of the international telex service with other services.
To order the complete text of this Recommendation, please use the
Order Form for ITU-T Recommendations. An electronic version of this
form is available on ITUDOC (Winword: UPI=ITU-5265; ASCII: UPI=ITU-2488).
