Recommendation U.45
RESPONSE TO THE NOT-READY CONDITION OF THE TELEX TERMINAL
(Melbourne, 1988)
The CCITT,
considering
(a) the increasing use of modern electronic terminals, telex automatic
emitting devices (TAEDs) and stored-program-controlled exchanges in the
international telegraph, telex and gentex networks;
(b) the desirability of standardizing the network and terminal responses to
the various not-ready conditions of the terminal;
and recognizing
the need to keep the response as short as possible in order to avoid
unnecessary charging;
unanimously recommends
the adoption of the following procedures in response to the not-ready
condition of the telex terminal in new equipments and as far as possible in
existing equipments.
1 Definition
1.1 The following term used in this Recommendation is defined as follows:
the not-ready condition of the telex terminal
The status of a terminal which prevents the return of the call connect
signal or answerback sequence in response to a valid incoming call signal or WRU
respectively.
Alternatively, the status which develops within a terminal during an
established connection as a result of the exhaustion of the printing paper, or
equivalent recording medium, and which results in premature clearing of the
connection.
2 Scope
The provisions of this Recommendation apply only to printed service
signals.
3 Call attempts to terminals already in the not-ready condition
3.1 For networks which do not utilize the additional information characters
allowed by Recommendation U.1, S 10.1.2, then a call attempt to a terminal in the
not-ready condition and connected to that network shall receive the standard
service signal DER, constructe in accordance with Recommendation U.1, Table 1/U.1
and S 10.1.2.
It should be noted, however, that some Administrations use the standard
service signal ABS to signal the not-ready condition as a result of loss of power
at the called terminal.
3.2 An an exception to the above, the service codes listed in Recommendation
F.131 shall be used when a call attempt is made from the international telex
network to a ship-earth station participating in the maritime mobile service or
the maritime mobile-satellite service and which is not capable of accepting the
call.
3.3 For networks which can utilize these additional information characters,
then a call attempt to a terminal in the not-ready condition and connected to
that network shall receive the expanded version of the standard service signal
DER, constructed in accordance with Recommendation U.1, Table 1/U.1 and S 10.1.2.
3.4 The additional information characters shall be in accordance with Table
1/U.45 for the not-ready conditions listed, where the caracter strings PFL, EXM
and NAB have meanings as listed in S 4.1.1 of Recommendation F.60.
3.5 For call re-attempts in accordance with Recommendation U.40, it is
important that there is no confusion between the basic and expanded form of the
service signal. For this reason, the format of the service signal train specified
in Recommendation U.1, S 10.1.2 shall be rigidly applied, where the standard
service signal is delimited by a carriage-return and line-feed sequence at
beginning and end.
The standardization of a specific response to the PFL, EXM and NAB
conditions is for further study.
3.6 It should be noted that where an expanded form of a U.1 service signal
transits networks which apply signalling conversion rules in accordance with
Recommendation U.15, then the additional information characters will be discarded
by the conversion process and only the standard service text (i.e. <- = DER <-
=) will be translated by the Type D transit centre.
4 Activation of the not-ready condition during an established connection
Fascicle VII.2 - Rec. U.45 PAGE1
4.1 During an established connection, the transition to the not-ready
condition in the receiving terminal will generally be indicated by an escalation
from a PAPER LOW to a PAPER OUT situation. For terminals which use electronic
memory as the recording medium, this will be equivalent to STORE LOW and STORE
FULL conditions.
The procedures to be applied during this transition are a national matter.
4.2 On reaching a PAPER OUT (or equivalent) condition, one of the following
procedures should be applied:
4.2.1 The receiving terminal shall send a clearing signal to initiate immediate
clearing of the connection.
4.2.2 Preferably, in new terminals and as far as possible in existing terminals,
the following sequence of events will be activated.
4.2.2.1 Interrupt the incoming text as per Recommendation S.4.
4.2.2.2 Send the following character sequence at automatic speed
<- = EXM <- =
to indicate exhaustion of the recording medium.
4.2.2.3 Send the clearing signal to initiate clearing of the connection. (See
Table 1/U.45.)
4.2.2.4 The reaction of automatic calling devices (terminals, CF, SFU) to the
receipt of EXM and clearing during forward transmission is for further study.
4.2.3 If the transmitting terminal fails to respond to the request to stop
transmission, then the receiving terminal shall initiate clearing in accordance
with S 4.2.1 above.
4.3 Further incoming calls to this terminal will be handled in accordance with
S 3 above.
4.4 In the situation where a transmitting terminal is about to reach a PAPER
O condition, then it is recommended that the
procedures of SS 4.2.2.2 and 4.2.2.3 be applied.
