- Recommendation U.202
- REQUIREMENTS TO BE MET IN PROVIDING THE TELEX SERVICE
- WITHIN THE ISDN
- (Melbourne, 1988)
- The CCITT,
- considering
- (a) that there may be economic and operational advantages in using the ISDN
- switching and transmission technology to support the telex service;
- (b) that some Administrations have implemented, or are about to implement,
- ISDNs;
- (c) that the I-series Recommendations define the ISDN concept;
- (d) that the telex service is a mature and expanding service and is
- expected to remain established for many years;
- (e) that the maximum number of selection digits on the international telex
- network, in accordance with the existing U-series signalling Recommendations, is
- limited to 12 digits,
- unanimously declares the view
- (1) that the service principles defined in CCITT Recommendation F.60 should
- be maintained;
- (2) that the establishment of a call from a telex terminal on the ISDN, to
- a terminal on a dedicated telex network shall be by means of a single-stage
- addressing. The same applies to calls in the opposite direction;
- (3) that there should be no difference between the telex service provided
- on ISDN with the one provided on a dedicated telex network;
- (4) that telex terminals in the ISDN should be assigned a number that is
- part of the telex national numbering plan;
- (5) that the provision of a telex service in the ISDN should place no
- burden on the telex services of other Administrations.
- 1 Scope
- 1.1 This Recommendation outlines configuration models for the integration of
- the telex service into the ISDN.
- 1.2 The configuration models assume no change in the design of telex terminals
- and proposals are made for the necessary terminal adapter and network performance
- parameters.
- 1.3 The overall subscriber-to-subscriber performance should be related to the
- hypothetical reference circuit, for telex networks, specified in CCITT
- Recommendation U.8.
- 2 Configuration models
- 2.1 Two configuration models may be developed:
- a) a minimum integration model, where the switching between telex
- terminals connected to the ISDN is carried out within the telex
- network. This model is illustrated by Figure 1/U.202;
- b) a maximum integration model, where switching between telex terminals
- connected to the ISDN may also take place in the ISDN. This model is
- illustrated by Figure 2/U.202.

- 3 General principles
- 3.1 Minimum integration model
- 3.1.1 Where Administrations implement the minimum integration model, as in
- Figure 1/U.202 connection to the telex network should be treated as a telex
- subscriber line.
- 3.1.2 The telex subscriber connected to the ISDN should be assigned a number
- that is part of the national telex numbering plan.
- 3.1.3 This method of integration is normally intended for situations where both
- a telex network and an ISDN are provided by the Administration.
- 3.1.4 The connection across the ISDN may be provided on a permanent, or
- semi-permanent basis, however, access to the telex network must be provided on a
- dedicated basis per subscriber.
- 3.1.5 The B-Channel in circuit mode of the ISDN should be used for the text
- transmission and the service conditions of CCITT Recommendation F.60 must be
- maintained. The use of packet mode for text transmission is for further study.

-
- The use of B- and D-Channels for packet mode text transmission is for further
- study.
- 3.1.6 Administrations should ensure that the distortion limits, as specified in
- CCITT Recommendation R.20 are not exceeded.
- 3.1.7 Any signal delay introduced should be in accordance with the limits
- specified in CCITT Recommendation R.58 bis, for the total national section of the
- calls.
- 3.2 Maximum integration model
- 3.2.1 Where Administrations implement the maximum integration model,
- as shown in Figure 2/U.202, then connection to the telex network
- should be made at trunk level.
- 3.2.2 This method of integration may be used where both a telex
- network and an ISDN are provided by an Administration or where only
- an ISDN is provided.
- 3.2.3 The number assigned to the telex terminal connected to the
- ISDN should be identifiable, from a telex network of other
- Administrations, as part of a telex national numbering plan.
- 3.2.4 Where the Administration provides both a telex network and an
- ISDN, then the signalling system to be used between the
- interworking function and the telex network is a national matter.
- However, it is recommended that signalling systems in accordance
- with CCITT Recommendation U.11 or U.12 be used.
- 3.2.5 It is recommended that where an ISDN only is provided, then
- connection to telex networks of other Administrations should be in
- accordance with CCITT U-series Recommendations, preferably U.11 or
- U.12.
- 3.2.6 Interconnection of ISDNs to support the telex service should
- be agreed bilaterally.
- 3.2.7 The B-Channel circuit mode of the ISDN should be used for the
- text transmission and the service conditions of CCITT
- Recommendation F.60 must be maintained.
- The use of packet mode for text transmission is for further
- study.
- 3.2.8 Any signal delay introduced, within the total national section
- of the call, should not exceed the limits specified in CCITT
- Recommendation R.58 bis.
- 3.2.9 Any distortion introduced in the national section of the call
- should not exceed the limits specified in CCITT Recommendation
- R.58.
- 3.2.10 The routing of the call through the ISDN is a national
- matter.
- 4 Call establishment sequences
- 4.1 Minimum integration model
- 4.1.1 Where connection across the ISDN is provided on a permanent basis, the
- telex call establish sequences will take place on the B-Channel.
- 4.1.2 Typical telex subscriber outgoing and incoming signal sequences will be in
- accordance with Figure 3/U.202 and Figure 4/U.202 respectively.
- 4.1.3 The method of establishing the permanent connection across the ISDN is a
- national matter.
- 4.1.4 Where connection across the ISDN is on a semi-permanent basis, typical
- telex subscriber outgoing and incoming signal sequences will also be in
- accordance with Figure 3/U.202, and Figure 4/U.202 respectively.
- 4.1.5 The method of establishing the semi-permanent connection is a national
- matter, but the outgoing and incoming call establishment sequences may be in
- accordance with Figure 5/U.202 and Figure 6/U.202 respectively.

- subscribers connected to the ISDN may communicate with other telex subscribers
- connected to the same ISDN and to telex subscribers connected to existing telex
- networks.
- 4.2.2 Typical telex subscriber outgoing and incoming signal sequences will be in
- accordance with Figure 3/U.202 and Figure 4/U.202 respectively.
- 4.2.3 The outgoing and incoming call establishment sequences should be in
- accordance with Figure 7/U.202 and Figure 8/U.202 respectively.

-
- 4.2.4 The use of the D-Channel or CCITT Signalling System No. 7 is for further
- study.
- 4.2.5 Where translation from the international telex number to the ISDN number
- (E.164) for routing purposes is required, this should be done in the IWF.
- 4.2.6 The Administration providing the telex service within the ISDN is
- responsible for providing this translation.
- 4.2.7 The method for forwarding the service signals issued by the dedicated
- telex network to the telex subscriber on the ISDN, is for further study.
- 5 Terminal adapter functions
- 5.1 The following terminal adapter functions will be required.
- 5.1.1 Rate adaption
- The telex speed of 50 bauds will be converted to the ISDN B-Channel speed
- of 64 kbit/s, and vice versa.
- The method of achieving this conversion is for further study.
- 5.1.2 Signal sequence mapping
- The telex subscriber signal sequences will be converted to the ISDN
- D-Channel signalling protocol, and vice versa.
- 5.2 The interface between the telex terminal and the terminal adpater is
- considered to be a matter not for international standardization.
- 6 Adapter unit
- 6.1 The provision of an adapter unit, for the minimum integration model is a
- national matter and is not a subject for international standardization. However,
- similar functions to those identified for the terminal adapter will be required.
- 7 Interworking facility functions
- 7.1 The following interworking facility functions will be required.
- 7.1.1 Rate adaption
- The IWF will convert the telex speed of 50 bauds to the ISDN B-Channel
- speed of 64 kbit/s, and vice versa. The method of achieving this conversion is
- for further study.
- 7.1.2 Selection signal mapping
- The telex selection signals will be converted to ISDN selection signal
- requirements, and vice versa. The method of achieving this conversion is for
- further study.
- 7.1.3 Address translation
- The method for translating the international telex number to the ISDN
- E.164 number, if required, is a national matter.
- 8 Other telex service features
- 8.1 The provision of other telex service features in the ISDN is for further
- study.
