- Proposed new Recommendation X.220
-
- USE OF X.200 SERIES PROTOCOLS
- IN CCITT MODIFICATIONS
-
-
- The CCITT,
-
- considering
-
- (a) that administrations in many countries are implementing a variety of
- telecommunications services;
-
- (b) that these services may be carried on a variety of networks;
-
- (c) that users of these services desire a unifying architecture for the
- applicable protocols;
-
- (d) that such an architecture is provided by Recommendation X.200 which
- defines the Reference Model of Open Systems Interconnection for CCITT applications;
-
- (e) that a number of protocols conforming to this architecture are defined
- in the X.200 Series of Recommendations and in other Recommendations,
-
- unanimously declares the view
-
- that for CCITT applications the functional suites of protocols, which
- involve the use of protocols in the X.200 Series of Recommendations, are summarized
- in this Recommendation. Details, as well as any conformance requirements, are
- contained in the relevant Recommendations.
-
- A growing number of data terminal equipments are being designed to support
- more than one CCITT service and/or are being designed to be capable of being
- connected to more than one type of network. In order to facilitate the design of
- such equipments, the various OSI protocol suites involving use of the X.200 Series
- of Recommendations are documented herein.
-
- These protocol suites are depicted in Figure 1/X.220, which portrays the
- protocols according to the seven layers defined in Recommendation X.200. The CCITT
- applications covered are Message Handling Systems (MHS), Directory, Teletex and
- Document Architecture Transfer and Manipulation. The networks covered are PSPDN,
- CSPDN, PSTN and ISDN. The intent is to give a general view of the set of protocol
- suites in a single figure, while relying on the other Recommendations referenced to
- provide the necessary additional details.
-
- Notes to Figure 1/X.220
-
-
- 1. The modem may also be integrated within the terminal and in such cases V.24 need not
- apply. For telematic terminals, see 3.2.1 of T.70.
-
- 2. For automatic calling and/or answering, V.25 or V.25bis may be applicable.
-
- 3. For terminals connected to a PSTN, CSPDN or ISDN (circuit switched) and accessing a
- PSPDN in accordance with X.32 or X.31, the X.25 LAP B procedures are used as set
- forth in X.32 or X.31.
-
- 4. For DTE-to-DTE connections, telematic terminals employ the X.75 LAP B procedures for
- single link operation (see 3.2.2 and 3.3.2 of T.70 and 2.1.2.2 of T.90). For other
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- terminals, the ISO 7776 LAP B procedures may apply for DTE-to-DTE connections.
-
- 5. For half duplex operation over the PSTN, the LAP B procedures are extended to include
- a half duplex transmission module (HDTM) as defined in 5.6 of X.32 and in T.71.
-
- 6. Terminals obtaining packet access on the D-channel use the LAP D procedures of Q.921
- to support both the Q.931 access connection control procedure (if needed) and the
- X.25 packet layer procedures. Terminals obtaining packet access on the B-channel use
- the LAP D procedures of Q.921 to support the Q.931 access connection control
- procedure (if needed) and the X.25 LAP B procedures to support the X.25 packet layer
- procedures.
-
- 7. For terminals connected to a PSTN, CSPDN or ISDN (circuit switched) and accessing a
- PSPDN in accordance with X.32 or X.31, the network connection is established by two
- stage selection; the first stage uses the call control procedures of the attached
- network (as shown in Figure 1/X.220) and the second stage uses the X.25 call control
- procedures.
-
- 8. For terminals connected to a PSTN, CSPDN or ISDN (circuit switched) and accessing a
- PSPDN in accordance with X.32 or X.31, the X.25 packet layer procedures apply during
- the data transfer phase of the PSTN, CSPDN or ISDN. However, for telematic terminals
- connected to a CSPDN and accessing a PSPDN, a minimum network layer functionality is
- required during the data transfer phase of the CSPDN (see 3.3.3 of T.70).
-
- 9. For DTE-to-DTE connections, telematic terminals connected to a CSPDN use the minimum
- network layer functionality (see 3.3.3 of T.70) during the data transfer phase of the
- CSPDN and telematic terminals connected to a PSTN use the X.25 packet layer
- procedures (see 3.2.3 of T.70); telematic terminals connected to an ISDN (circuit
- switched) use the X.25 packet layer procedures as specified in ISO 8208 (see
- 2.1.2.3.2 of T.90) or, in addition, as a user option, the minimum network layer
- functionality (see 2.1.1 of T.90). For other terminals, the ISO 8208 X.25 packet
- layer procedures may apply for DTE-to-DTE connections.
-
- 10.The Q.931 access connection control procedures are used if needed.
-
- 11.For telematic terminals, the transport protocol is in accordance with T.70, section 5
- plus Annexes A and B; the use of X.224 class 0 plus application rules is optional but
- needs further consideration to ensure that there are no discrepancies with T.70. For
- terminals communicating with network based services such as MHS and Directories, the
- X.224 procedures apply including the mandatory support of class 0.
-
- 12.T.62 bis, together with the relevant service and protocol elements of X.215 and
- X.225, are intended to be equal to T.62.
-
- 13.To obtain backward compatibility with X.410 (1984), RTSE uses the "X.410-1984 mode"
- services of ACSE and the Presentation Layer. The "normal mode" is used in all other
- cases.
-
- 14.Directory uses ROSE but not RTSE.
-
- 15.The use of ROSE and RTSE in the T.400-Series is for further study.
-
- 16.T.330 describes Group 4 Facsimile and Teletex access to the MHS Interpersonal
- Messaging System (IPMS) in the T.62bis/X.225 environment.
-
- 17.The use of MHS to transfer documents conforming to the T.410-Series is described in
- T.411.
-
- 18.Character repertoire definition of T.61 only.
