- 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.
