Recommendation U.21
OPERATOR RECALL ON A TELEX CALL SET UP
ON A RADIOTELEGRAPH CIRCUIT
(New Delhi, 1960; amended at Geneva, 1964)
The CCITT,
considering
(a) that experience has shown that, for telex calls set up over a
radioteleg circuit, it was
useful to enable the telex subscriber to cause an operator to
re-enter on a call in progress without interrupting it;
(b) that such re-entry may be of interest in the following
cases as well as in the case of a defective connection:
i) When a subscriber decides, in the course of a call, to change from a
plain text to a cypher he can call the operators in the terminal radio
exchanges and ask them to interrupt the delay signal, which might
otherwise disturb the synchronism between the cyphering apparatus used
at the two ends.
ii) When a subscriber has sent a message but waits a very long time for a
reply from his correspondent, he can ask the operator whether his
message is still being stored or whether it is expected that any
interruption to the radio circuit will continue. If need be, he can
then choose another means of communication (telegram or telephone call)
to send an urgent message to its destination;
(c) that although it seems that re-entry by an operator will be limited
mainly to national networks (for example by a subscriber calling the controlling
telex operator on the radiotelegraph circuit), international standardization of
an operator recall signal would be useful if the controlling telex operator on
the radiotelegraph circuit is located in a transit country, and also for
intermediate manual switches; this would no doubt prove to be a great advantage
when this possibility is generally utilized,
unanimously declares the following view
(1) If the Administrations concerned agree on the use of a special signal
enabling a subscriber to recall an international telex operator's position making
use of radiotelegraph circuits, such a recall must not cause release of a call in
progress.
(2) This operator recall signal will consist of the follow
sequence: combinations No. 28 (line-feed) followed by four
combinations No. 27 (carriage-return).
(3) The detection device causing re-entry by the operator
will be controlled by the receipt of four consecutive combinations
No. 27; combinations No. 28 will only be used to avoid
superposition of the text on the receiving teleprinter and will not
have to be recognized by the detection device.
(4) The equipment for discriminating the operator recall
signal will be switched off by a sequence of four consecutive
combinations No. 19 (signal for transfer to data).
