0 Introduction
This Recommendation is one of a set of Recommendations
produced to facilitate considerations of interworking between
networks. It is based on Recommendation X.300, which defines the
general principles for interworking between public networks, and
between public networks and other networks for the provision of
data transmission services. Recommendation X.300 indicates in
particular how collections of physical equipment can be represented
as ╥subnetworks╙ for consideration in interworking situations.
This Recommendation describes the interworking arrangements
between ISDNs and CSPDNs for the provision of data transmission
services.
1 Scope and field of application
The purpose of this Recommendation is to describe the general
arrangements for the interworking between CSPDNs and ISDNs for the
provision of data transmission services. These arrangements are
applicable only to the interworking involving transmission
capabilities, and not to interworking involving communication
capabilities as described in Recommendation X.300.
Note - The typing of subnetworks in this Recommendation is
based on the support for the OSI connection-mode network service
and is therefore only valid in this context.

5 General aspects
This Recommendation, in describing interworking arrangements
between two subnetworks for the provision of data transmission
services, adheres to the general principles of Recommendation
X.300. The environments of these two subnetworks are described in
the following sections. See also Table 1/X.321.
5.1 CSPDN
The CSPDN provides circuit switched data transmission services
as defined in Recommendations X.1 and X.2 for the provision of data
transmission services, the CSPDN may be accessed by DTEs by the
category of access B as defined in Recommendation X.10. In
addition, the CSPDN may also be accessed via other networks, i.e.,
PSPDN (X.10 categories C, D and Recommendation X.75), MSS
(Recommendation X.75), or ISDN (this Recommendation). Private
network access to the CSPDN is for further study (see
Recommendation X.300).
5.2 ISDN
The ISDN may provide packet switched and/or circuit switched
data transmission services/bearer services as defined in
Recommendations X.1, the I.230 series, and X.2 .
Note - Supplementary services/optional user facilities for the
circuit-mode operation on ISDN are in the I.250 series.
Recommendation X.2 applies to ISDN packet switched data
transmission services/bearer services.
For the provision of data transmission services, the ISDN may
be accessed by DTEs/TEs by the categories of access S, T, U as
defined in Recommendation X.10 and/or the access methods defined in
the I.230 series Recommendations. In addition, the ISDN may also be
accessed via other networks, i.e., PSTN (Recommendation I.530),
CSPDN (X.10, category B, and this Recommendation), PSPDN
(Recommendations X.325 and X.10, categories C, D), MSS
(Recommendation X.324), or ISDN (SS No. 7, Recommendations X.75 and
X.10, category Y).
Note - In the context of this Recommendation, and for the
purpose of provision of data transmission services only, the
following categories of bearer services defined in the I.230 series
Recommendations are considered. (Others are for further study.):
a) circuit-mode 64 kbit/s unrestricted, 8 kHz structured;
b) circuit-mode 64 kbit/s, 8 kHz structured, usable for speech
information transfer;
c) circuit-mode 64 kbit/s, 8 kHz structured, usable for 3.1
kHz audio information transfer;
d) virtual call and permanent virtual circuit.
5.3 Call control between the CSPDN and ISDN
The general arrangements for call control between the CSPDN
and ISDN are as defined in Recommendation X.301. Network utilities
used between the CSPDN and ISDN are as defined in Recommendation
X.302 (not visible for users). Supplementary services/optional user
facilities for the circuit-mode operation on ISDN are in the I.250
series.
5.4 Functionalities of the CSPDN and ISDN
The functionalities of different types of subnetworks are
described in Recommendation X.305. In the case where the ISDN is
used to provide a packet switched data transmission service/bearer
service, the functionality of the CSPDN and ISDN differ. Therefore,
in order to enable interworking, procedures must be operated over
the circuit switched bearer on the CSPDN to achieve functional
compatibility. In the case where the ISDN is used to provide a
circuit switched data transmission service/bearer service, the
CSPDN and ISDN are functionally compatible.

6 Specific interworking arrangements
As described in Recommendation X.300, the following
interworking cases should be distinguished:
a) interworking between CSPDN and ISDN where a packet switched
bearer is used;
b) interworking between CSPDN and ISDN where a circuit
switched bearer is used.
6.1 Interworking between CSPDN and ISDN where a packet switched
bearer is requested
The detailed procedures for interworking are defined in
Recommendation X.75. See Figure 1/X.321. In particular, the
following applies:
6.1.1 Transfer of addressing information
ISDNs and CSPDNs typically utilize different numbering plans
(i.e., E.164 and X.121 respectively). The considerations on the
transfer of addressing informations of the two different types as
described in Recommendation X.301 apply. Further specifics on
interworking between the two numbering plans concerned, are
detailed in Recommendations E.166 and X.122.
Figure 1/X.321 - T0706360-88
6.1.2 Arrangements for facilities related to the QOS of the call
These arrangements are as described in Recommendation X.301.
However, for the throughput facility, different classes are
supported in the ISDN and CSPDN (i.e., the class of 64 kbit/s).
Whenever a request is made for a throughput class higher than 48
kbit/s from the ISDN, the request should be negotiated down to a
lower user class supported on the CSPDN.
6.1.3 Arrangements for facilities related to charging conditions
applying to the call
For further study.
6.1.4 Arrangements for facilities related to specific routing
conditions requested by the user
For further study.
6.1.5 Arrangements for facilities related to protection
mechanisms requested by the user of a call
These arrangements are as described in Recommendation X.301.
In particular, for the CUG and CUG/OA facilities the interlock code
mechanism described in Recommendation X.180 shall be applied.
6.1.6 Arrangements for facilities to convey user data in addition
to the normal data flow in the data transfer phase
For further study.
6.1.7 Arrangements for other facilities
For further study.
6.1.8 Arrangements for internal network utilities (not visible
for users)
These arrangements are as described in Recommendation X.302.
In particular, the mechanisms for network identification are
applied as follows:
- the CSPDN is identified by the DNIC/DCC method;
- the ISDN is identified by the Recommendation X.302 method.
These network identifications are then further applied in the
TNIC and CNIC utilities of Recommendation X.75.
6.2 Interworking between a CSPDN and ISDN where a circuit switched
bearer is requested
The detailed procedures for interworking are defined in
Recommendation X.81 (see Figure 2/X.321). In particular, the
following applies:
6.2.1 Transfer of addressing information
ISDNs and CSPDNs typically utilize different numbering plans
(i.e., E.164 and X.121 respectively). The considerations on the
transfer of addressing information of the two different types as
described in Recommendation X.301 apply. Further specifics on
interworking between the two numbering plans concerned, are
detailed in Recommendations E.166 and X.122.

6.2.2 Arrangements related to QOS of the call
These arrangements for the CSPDN are described in
Recommendation X.301. For the ISDN (CS), the arrangements are for
further study.
6.2.3 Arrangements for facilities related to the changing
condition requested by the user of the call
For further study.
6.2.4 Arrangements for facilities related to specific routing
conditions requested by the user of the call
For further study.
6.2.5 Arrangements for facilities related to protection
mechanisms requested by the user of the call
These arrangements for CSPDN are described in Recommendation
X.301. Arrangements for ISDN (CS) are for further study.
6.2.6 Arrangements for facilities to convey user data in addition
to the normal data flow in the data transfer phase
For further study.
6.2.7 Arrangements for other facilities
For further study.
6.2.8 Arrangements for internal network
These arrangements for CSPDN are described in Recommendation
X.302. The arrangements for ISDN (CS) are for further study.
