No restrictions shall exist for generation of the text and/or the positioning of text within the printable area on a page. .PP \fINote\fR \ \(em\ Exception to this rule is the application of the processable mode of operation for which the page as basic element of correspondence cannot be used. .PP 1.1.4 It is not the intention of the service to compete with or to duplicate public data services, although the use of Teletex for transmission of data (e.g.\ to question a data bank) may be a possible by\(hyproduct. .PP 1.1.5 Questions of an essentially technical nature concerning the Teletex service are dealt with by other Recommendations. .PP 1.1.6 Throughout this Recommendation the term Teletex equipment is used addressing user's equipment independently, whether this equipment is a dedicated teletex terminal or a terminal or system with added Teletex capabilities. .LP 1.2 \fIService definitions\fR .sp 1P .RT .sp 2P .LP 1.2.1 \fIGeneral\fR .sp 1P .RT .PP 1.2.1.1 The Teletex service provides communication between equipment which is used for the preparation, editing and printing of correspondence. .sp 9p .RT .PP 1.2.1.2 It is an essential characteristic of the Teletex service that it provides a basic level of compatibility between all equipment participating in the service. .bp .sp 2P .LP 1.2.2 \fIBasic requirements\fR .sp 1P .RT .PP 1.2.2.1 The basic requirements of the Teletex service are as follows: .sp 9p .RT .LP a) A basic level of compatibility is provided between any two Teletex terminals both nationally and internationally so that they may communicate formatted documents composed of character\(hycoded information to each other. This is to be achieved by requiring that terminals comply with Recommendations\ T.60, T.61, T.62 and T.70. (T.70 does not yet include operation on the ISDN.) .LP b) It is for each Administration to decide on the network(s) on which the Teletex service will be carried. There shall be no restriction on the type of network to be used. .LP c) Real time connection between Teletex equipment operating at different speeds is required for the duration of the call. The information on the successful transmission should be given by the receiving equipment to the sending equipment within the call. .LP d) It should be possible to extend the Teletex service to any number of countries. .LP e) The graphic character repertoire of any office machine keyboard that satisfies the provisions of Recommendation\ T.61 and that is acceptable to the national Administrations for use within the Teletex service should be permitted as a source. .LP f ) In order to enable private applications and facilities, such as, for example, encryption, there should be no technical limitation on the bit sequence of the users' information that may be transmitted. .LP g) Local mode operation should not be disturbed by incoming calls under normal operating conditions. .LP h) A received Teletex message can be printed or displayed otherwise as decided by the recipient and equipment characteristics. If the message is printed, the receiving subscriber will be furnished with a document that is identical with that produced by the sending subscriber as far as its contents, layout and format are concerned. .LP i) It is intended that the service should require no changes to the Recommendations for existing services or networks. .LP j ) The Teletex service will provide the ability to intercommunicate in both directions with the telex service by means of conversion facilities. (Refer to Recommendations\ F.201, U.201 and\ T.90.) .LP k) The Teletex service allows for intercommunication with the IPM service using a Public Teletex Access Unit (refer to Recommendation\ F.422). .LP l) Facilities for providing a permanent copy (not necessarily on paper) of every message should exist at every Teletex installation. .LP m) The man/machine interface in the Teletex service should be as simple as possible in accordance with the normal use of office equipment. .PP \fINote\fR \ \(em\ The use of \*Qterminal\*U is in accordance with the Note in \(sc\ 5.3. .sp 2P .LP 1.2.3 \fIStandardized options\fR .sp 1P .RT .sp 1P .LP 1.2.3.1\ \ It is recognized that some subscribers may need to use their Teletex equipment to communicate nationally and internationally using service features which are not included in the Teletex basic requirements, but which are, nonetheless, frequently used in office equipment. A number of CCITT\(hystandardized options should, therefore, be defined. However, the provision of any option in a service could lead to some degree of incompatibility and the number of standardized options should be restricted, as shown below, to those features for which a clear international need can be foreseen. .sp 9p .RT .PP The sending Teletex equipment shall ensure the transmission of documents using only those options which have been indicated as being available at the receiving Teletex equipment. .LP 1.2.3.2\ \ The standardized options should provide means for: .LP a) different character spacings (initially\ 12 and\ 15 pitch); .LP b) different metric values for line spacing (initially 3.175\ mm and 5\ mm); .LP c) selection of different graphic rendition of any selected portion of the text; .LP d) indication that special stationery should be used; .bp .LP e) use of a wide range of character repertoires other than the Teletex basic character repertoires (both national and application\(hyorientated); .LP f ) specification of increased printable areas for paper sizes normally used for office correspondence; e.g.\ ISO\ A4, A4L and North American paper size; .LP g) escape into national and private options; .LP h) use of Kanji character repertoires (JIS .FS JIS: Japanese Industrial Standard. .FE C6226) and associated character spacing (6\(hypitch) and page formats (ISO\ A4, B5,\ B4); .LP i) specification of paper sizes other than ISO A4 or A4L as well as the associated printable areas. .PP \fINote\ 1\fR \ \(em\ Administrations are encouraged to ensure that standardized and nationally defined options are available and used in such a way as to minimize the need for the introduction of private use options. .PP \fINote\ 2\fR \ \(em\ There is a need for further study as the service develops.

This possibility can be used for indication of, for example, Teletex equipment in a \*Qgroup number\*U or when a call is terminated in a document storage facility outside the terminal. In the latter case the value <<+++>> in Part\ 3 will be returned to the calling terminal; .bp .PP The indication of special service signals within Part\ 3 is for further study. .PP Where alphabetic characters are used, the use of capital or small letters does not effect the meaning.

(See Recommendation\ F.200, \(sc\ 1.2.2.1\ i)). .bp .PP The implementation of national interworking between the teletex service and the telex service, which should be provided, is a matter for the Administration concerned. .PP International interworking should also be provided, and in this case the following three general principles should be adopted: .RT .LP a) Interworking should be entirely automatic and no operator intervention should be necessary. .LP b) Where Administrations do not provide conversion facilities, basic interworking on international connections will be at 50\ bauds. .LP c) Where two Administrations both have a teletex service, or at least suitable conversion equipment, the possibility of a bilateral agreement to use an international teletex connection can be considered. It is recommended that, where possible, an international teletex connection should be used provided that the practical operational difficulties (e.g.\ tariff, routing and conversion problems) can be overcome. .sp 2P .LP \fB2\fR \fBBasic interworking service\fR .sp 1P .RT .sp 1P .LP 2.1 \fIConversion\fR .sp 9p .RT .PP The teletex terminal should be capable of selecting a subset of its graphic character repertoire corresponding to International Telegraph Alphabet No.\ 2 and of restricting the length of a line to 69\ characters: the necessary conversion between the services (e.g.\ of service procedures, transmission rates and codings) should be provided within the networks. To the telex terminals, existing specifications apply. .RT .sp 1P .LP 2.2 \fILocation of the conversion facilities in the case of\fR \fIinternational traffic\fR .sp 9p .RT .PP There are two possible situations to be considered in the basic service as shown in Figure\ 1/F.201. .RT .LP .rs .sp 13P .ad r \fBFigure 1/F.201, (M), p.\fR .sp 1P .RT .ad b .RT .PP In cases that countries introduce the teletex service at different time, it must be assumed that the conversion facility is in the same country as the teletex terminal, in cases of operational conversion facilities on both ends \(sc\ 1\ c) above could apply. .sp 1P .LP 2.3 \fIMethods of\fR \fIinterworking\fR .sp 9p .RT .LP a) Considering that the teletex service can be provided upon various networks (see Recommendation\ F.200, \(sc\ 2); .LP b) Considering that an Administration can provide the teletex service on more than one network (e.g.,\ PSTN and PSPDN,\ . | | ); .LP c) Considering the technical constraints of the existing networks (e.g.\ numbering plans,\ . | | ); .LP The two following methods of interworking between the telex service and the teletex service can be provided: .LP i) interworking with one\(hystage selection for telex to teletex procedure; .LP ii) interworking with two\(hystage selection for telex to teletex procedure. .bp .PP The conversion facility (CF) is performing interworking using store and forward principles. .PP The interactive mode is not required for interworking. .PP The two methods are described in \(sc\(sc 3 (one\(hystage) and 4 (two\(hystage) with their conditions of implementation and their service characteristics. It is up to Administrations to decide which method they can provide. Administrations should take into account possible implications of the operational procedures to foreign subscribers. .PP The Administrations whose telex subscribers make access to foreign CFs should inform their customers of the procedures attached to the two methods. .RT .sp 1P .LP 2.4 \fIGeneral service requirements for telex to teletex direction\fR .sp 9p .RT .PP In the selection step of the one\(hystage selection procedure and in the first selection step of the two\(hystage selection procedure, the procedures should appear to the telex operator to be the same as for any other telex call. .PP Validation of the called teletex terminal is mandatory. Validation is performed either by a direct validation call or by data base access, in order to minimize the number of possible unsuccessful calls. .PP Format checking of the teletex address is desirable in both cases, immediately after the address input. .PP If the validation leads to a negative result, the CF should send at least the telex service signal \*QNP\*U or, if available, other appropriate service signals, according to Recommendation\ U.70, and the CF should then clear the call. .PP The storage capacity of the store and forward conversion facility may impose a limit on the length of messages (see also Annex\ B). .PP If abnormal conditions occur during the text deposit of the telex message, and the call is cleared before its normal completion, the conversion facility shall nevertheless transmit to the teletex terminal the text received so far and indicate that this transmitted text is probably not complete (see also Annex\ B). .PP The teletex terminal must be capable of properly reproducing a telex text. However, the conversion facility must provide any necessary rearrangement of the text, such as paging. .PP In principle, the telex customer should not be charged for unsuccessful calls, that is, when his message fails to reach the teletex user due to congestion or fault of the Administration's equipment,\ etc. Refund procedure should be in accordance with Recommendation\ F.67, Division\ E. .PP The CF shall wait at least 15 seconds for activity on the line before clearing. See also Annex\ A for abnormal conditions during message input. .RT .sp 1P .LP 2.5 \fIGeneral service requirements for teletex to telex direction\fR .sp 9p .RT .PP The teletex terminal shall provide to the conversion facility a telex mode. In this mode it shall: .RT .LP a) transmit only the character repertoire of the International Telegraph Alphabet No.\ 2 with the code frame of teletex characters; .LP b) restrict the line length to 69 characters or less; .LP c) insert the control characters carriage\(hyreturn and line\(hyfeed at the appropriate positions. Only the sequence carriage\(hyreturn and line\(hyfeed should be used to introduce a new line. .PP The message should appear to the receiving telex terminal as a normal telex message. .PP The CF shall transmit to the telex terminal the stored message in the format in which it was originated. After text transmission is complete, the CF shall send to the telex terminal the teletex answerback. This rearranged teletex terminal identification (or \*Qteletex answerback\*U) contains the teletex user directory information: .RT .LP \(em DNIC or TCC and national number according to Recommendation\ X.121 if there is more than one network for teletex service (in this case, DNIC, or TCC are separated from the national number by a hyphen (\(em), Combination\ No.\ 1 of\ ITA2); .LP \(em National number if only one network. If space is available, the teletex terminal answerback will contain the mnemonic part of the teletex identification. .PP The provision by the store and forward CF of an acknowledgement following a successful call is a matter for national consideration, but an indication of failure, and the cause of failure, should be given whenever a message is undelivered. .bp .PP The provision of interworking with the telex service must not reduce the quality of service on the teletex network as a result of excessive holding time caused, for example, by difficulties in setting up the telex connection. .RT .LP \fB3\fR \fBInterworking with one\(hystage selection procedure for telex to\fR \fBteletex\fR .sp 1P .RT .sp 2P .LP 3.1 \fIService principles: telex to teletex direction\fR .sp 1P .RT .sp 1P .LP 3.1.1 \fINumbering plan and teletex network environment\fR .sp 9p .RT .PP The procedure for making the call should appear to the telex operator to be the same as for any telex call. .PP The numbering plan and teletex network environment should support the above principle. .PP The total selection information of the teletex user should not be longer than 12\ digits. .RT .sp 1P .LP 3.1.2 \fIText delivery to the teletex terminal\fR .sp 9p .RT .PP Normally, text delivery to the teletex terminal would occur while the telex call is held, immediately after the end of input\ (EOI) signal. .PP It is the responsibility of Administrations operating the store and forward conversion facilities to arrange alternative means of delivering for the messages that could not be delivered directly to the teletex terminal. .RT .sp 1P .LP 3.1.3 \fIProtocol and technical aspects\fR .sp 9p .RT .PP Teletex protocol and other technical aspects of interworking using the one\(hystage procedure are described in Recommendation\ U.201. .RT .sp 2P .LP 3.2 \fIService principles: teletex to telex direction\fR .sp 1P .RT .sp 1P .LP 3.2.1 \fIGeneral requirements\fR .sp 9p .RT .PP The general requirements developed in \(sc\ 2.5 are relevant for this method of interworking. .RT .sp 1P .LP 3.2.2 \fIText deposit to the conversion facility by the teletex\fR \fIterminal\fR .sp 9p .RT .PP Text deposit takes place during a call which follows normal teletex procedures with the conversion facility emulating a teletex terminal.

The message is then to be forwarded. .PP If no information is present in the mnemonic field, the conversion facility (CF) should try to extract the Telex number of the called telex party from its answerback: .RT .LP \(em If extraction is not possible, the message is forwarded. .LP \(em If extraction result matches with the selection, the message is forwarded. .LP \(em If extraction result mismatches with the selection, the message is not forwarded. .PP If any signal is received from the telex network during the delivery to the telex terminal, the call shall be cleared and one further attempt to deliver the message may be made after an interval of at least three minutes. In this case the text shall be preceded by \*QPOSSIBLE DUPLICATE MESSAGE\*U. .bp .PP After text transmission is completed, the telex answerback should be taken and compared with that received at the start of delivery. In the event of a mismatch, the telex answerback shall be taken again, and if there is a match with that received at the start of delivery, the delivery shall be deemed successful. If there is a second mismatch, the call shall be cleared and one further attempt to deliver the message may be made after an interval of at least three\ minutes. In this case the text shall be preceded by \*QPOSSIBLE DUPLICATE MESSAGE\*U. .PP The action to be taken when a notification cannot be delivered should be the responsibility of the Administration operating the conversion facility and is a national matter. .PP Administrations should advise their customers of the meaning and possible consequences of using special telex characters sequences (see Recommendation\ S.4) in the submitted text. .PP An acknowledgement call to the teletex terminal is mandatory if the telex delivery was unsuccessful (Non\(hyDelivery Notification: NDN) but optional if the telex delivery succeeds (Positive Delivery Notification: PDN). .RT .sp 1P .LP 3.2.4 \fIProtocol and technical aspects\fR .sp 9p .RT .PP Teletex protocol and other technical aspects of interworking are described in Recommendation\ T.90. .RT .LP \fB4\fR \fBInterworking with two\(hystage selection procedure for telex to\fR \fBteletex\fR .sp 1P .RT .sp 2P .LP 4.1 \fIService principles: telex to teletex direction\fR .sp 1P .RT .sp 1P .LP 4.1.1 \fIGeneral requeriments\fR .sp 9p .RT .PP The general requirements developed in \(sc\ 2.4 are relevant for this method of interworking. .RT .sp 1P .LP 4.1.2 \fINumbering plan and teletex network environment\fR .sp 9p .RT .PP Two\(hystage selection must be used if total selection information requires the input of more than\ 12\ digits. .RT .sp 1P .LP 4.1.3 \fIMultiple address input facility\fR .sp 9p .RT .PP It is up to the Administrations operating the CF to offer this facility or not, on a bilateral agreement basis. .PP This facility allows the telex originator to send a single message to several teletex recipients. .PP Format of multiple address input is described in detail in Recommendation\ U.201. .RT .sp 1P .LP 4.1.4 \fIValidation\fR .sp 9p .RT .PP Validation of the national address of the called teletex terminal is mandatory.

The validation process should begin immediately after the complete teletex address has been received. .PP The subscriber is expected to wait after the end of address\ (EOA) signal for his answerback to be tripped and for the receipt of a progress signal. This signal may be either a GA, a positive validation answer followed by a GA, or a negative validation answer. .PP The progress signal should appear within five seconds counted after the address input (i.e.\ after the EOA) even if the validation process is not completed (see Table\ 1/F.201). .bp .RT .ce \fBH.T.

There is also a risk that a collision can occur between the message input and the validation answer. .PP When receiving multiple address, the procedure is similar to the single\(hyaddress one. The CF should try to validate one of the proposed Teletex addresses, and return the result of the first positive one followed by GA. .PP If no address is valid the call shall be rejected. .RT .sp 1P .LP 4.1.5 \fICapture of the calling telex address\fR .sp 9p .RT .PP Capture of the calling telex address by the conversion facility is necessary for later use in order to recall the telex user if needed (e.g.\ non\(hydelivery notification,\ . | | ). .PP Where the answerback is not processable according to U.74, the calling telex address should be input directly. .PP Format of the telex address is the Recommendation\ F.69 country code followed by the national telex number. .RT .sp 1P .LP 4.1.6 \fIInput message acknowledgement\fR .sp 9p .RT .PP The input message acknowledgement (IMA) is to be returned by the CF to the calling telex user after the EOI. .PP This information is used as the message reference in case of a non\(hydelivery notification\ (NDN). .PP The input message acknowledgement will consist of the \*QIMA\*U service signal, a date and time and an optional message reference number. .bp .RT .sp 1P .LP 4.1.7 \fIText delivery and clearing\fR .sp 9p .RT .PP After the EOI, the telex user should hold the line until receiving IMA. .PP Whenever technically possible, the CF should attempt to deliver the message to the teletex user immediately after the EOI in order to provide an on\(hyline delivery acknowledgement (ODA) facility. .PP If the CF provides the on\(hyline delivery acknowledgement facility (ODA), it sends a MOM signal immediately after the IMA. If the ODA facility cannot be provided, the CF sends a service signal (ITL) immediately after the IMA, followed by clearing. .PP If the on\(hyline delivery acknowledgement facility is provided, the CF attempts \fIto establish\fR the delivery call within a maximum period of 30\ seconds, with several\ attempts (at least one in the case of PSTN). Attempts should be made at 5\(hysecond intervals measured from the end of one attempt to the beginning of the next. .PP A MOM signal is returned after each attempt followed eventually by network service signals. If the message delivery succeeds, the teletex answerback as described in Note\ 6 of Figure\ 7/U.201 is the on\(hyline delivery acknowledgement for the telex user. .PP If the teletex \fIcall establishment\fR | fails within 30\ seconds, the CF sends a service signal (ITL) and clears the call. .PP After sending an ITL signal, in all cases, the CF should attempt to deliver the message within four hours. The CF should make at least 16\ series of four calls, with 15\ minutes between each series. (These figures may be revised in some cases, e.g.\ in the case of a PSTN.) .PP If the delivery fails despite the performance of the cycle of delivery attempts, the CF should send a non\(hydelivery notification (NDN). This information is sent to the telex user with the complete reference of the related message in order to allow the telex user to take further action. No further delivery action shall be taken by the CF. .PP The NDN is described in the relevant sections of Recommendation U.201 and should contain the following items: .RT .LP \(em CF's telex answerback;
