The other is transfer of user\(hyto\(hyuser signalling within stand alone USER INFO messages (which have been mapped into Signalling System\ No.\ 7 messages and then are conveyed via the Signalling System\ No.\ 7 network), or optionally may be transferred via packet handlers (PHs) in some ISDNs. In the case where user\(hyto\(hyuser signalling is transferred between packet handlers (PHs) in both ISDNs, the X.75 protocol may be applied to the internetwork interface to transfer user\(hyto\(hyuser signalling. In the case where user\(hyto\(hyuser signalling is transferred via Signalling System\ No.\ 7 networks in both ISDNs or at least in one ISDN, the Signalling System\ No.\ 7 protocol should be applied to the internetwork interface for user\(hyto\(hyuser signalling. .RT .sp 1P .LP 4.1.3 \fISignalling System No. 7 for the control of circuit mode services\fR \fIat the \fR \fIN\fR .sp 9p .RT .EF '% \fIx\ reference\ point'' .OF '''\fIx\ reference\ point %' .PP For the control of circuit mode services in the long term, Signalling System\ No.\ 7 with ISUP will be used at the N\dx\ureference point. .RT .sp 1P .LP 4.2 \fIISDN\(hyISDN Interface where both ISDNs provide X.31 case B based\fR \fIpacket mode bearer services\fR .sp 9p .RT .PP See Figure 3/I.520. .PP The X.75 protocol is used to transfer X.31 based packet mode services at the N\dx\ureference point.

General arrangements are covered in \(sc\ 6.3 of X.320. There are two possibilities: .RT .LP i) X.31 case A interworking with X.31 case\ B.

These speech processing functions include digital speech interpolation (DSI), low rate encoding (LRE) and digital circuit multiplication (DCM). Depending upon the particular relationship to the circuit mode bearer services, these processing functions are specified as essential, optional, prohibited or functionally disabled. .PP For a speech, 3.1 kHz audio, or 64 kbitB/Fs unrestricted call within an ISDN, appropriate network control is required to ensure that the relationship shown within Table\ 4/I.520 is realized. An example of this control might be routing (to exclude or include a function) or out\(hyband signalling (to disable a function). Further, it is to be noted that a disabling tone (see Recommendations\ V.25 and I.530) may be used to functionally remove echo control devices on a 3.1\ kHz audio bearer service connection. .bp .RT .LP .ce \fBH.T.

The use of call progress indicators for this purpose is for further study. .PP In a speech bearer service, the objects for connection agreement might be the use of one of the following: UDI (unrestricted digital information)/RDI (restricted digital information), satellite circuits, DSI circuits, the difference of PCM coding rules, circuit selection between digital networks having different hierarchical structures,\ etc. Parameter exchange, if required, are executed by the two networks. .PP The connection agreement does not necessarily occur on a call\(hyby\(hycall basis, but in a pre\(hydetermined way which has been established by other Recommendations (e.g.\ Recommendation\ G.802 for interworking between hierarchies and Recommendation\ G.711 for A\(hy\(*m\ law conversion) or agreed between two ISDNs. .RT .sp 1P .LP 5.4 \fICompatibility checking between end users of different\fR \fIISDNs\fR .sp 9p .RT .PP When the connection path between two terminals on different ISDNs is established, low level compatibility (LLC), high layer compatibility (HLC) or user defined compatibility may be examined on an end\(hyto\(hyend basis. .PP Compatibility checking items between end users are as follows: .RT .LP 1) \fILow layer compatibility\fR .LP LLC information would normally be used for user\(hyto\(hyuser call negotiation and would be passed transparently through the networks.

Within ISDN, in\(hyband tones and announcements, with the exception of ring\(hyback tone, should be provided at a point as close as possible to the calling user (i.e.\ network, PABX, or terminal).

At a suitable interworking point, the original data flow (e.g.\ 1.2\ kbit/s) is extracted and converted to \*Qanalogue\*U form by a modem for further transfer to the remote data terminal (i.e.\ the usage of modem pools). Mechanisms for modem interworking are contained in Recommendation\ I.515. .PP To handle non\(hyvoice calls in an ISDN\(hyPSTN interworking situation, the following interworking functions may be required. .LP a) capability to distinguish a data call and its relevant parameters when the call is coming from a PSTN; .LP b) capability to distinguish a data call and its relevant parameters when the call is going to a PSTN; .bp .LP c) special routing algorithms for inclusion of proper IWFs as detected in\ a) and\ b); .LP d) IWFs for protocol conversion as detected in a) and b). .PP For interworking between ISDN and PSTN, the need for in\(hyband parameter exchange is recognized as necessary, with the understanding that out\(hyband parameter exchange should be used whenever possible (refer to Recommendation\ I.515). .PP \fINote\fR \ \(em\ When ISDN\(hyPSTN interworking, using a modem pool in conjunction with the 64\ kbit/s unrestricted bearer service, it may not be possible to extend PSTN supervisory tones to the ISDN user.

Echo control devices and their use in the PSTN are recommended in Recommendation\ G.131. .PP Similar Recommendations should apply to the ISDN/PSTN interworking case. In particular, both echo suppressors and echo cancellers must be located within a range limitation of the four\(hywire/two\(hywire interface. These limits are mentioned in Recommendations\ G.131, \(sc\ 2.2, G.164, \(sc\ 1.1.3 and G.165, \(sc\ 3.2. If echo control devices are included in the ISDN connection, they will need to be disabled using the 2.1\ kHz echo control disabling tone generated by the modem .PP as is current practice in the PSTN. While echo suppressors should respond to a 2100\ Hz tone (Recommendation\ G.164), echo cancellers should only respond if the tone includes phase reversals as specified in Recommendation\ G.165. It is recommended that the 2.1\ kHz tone should not be converted into an ISDN signalling message and vice\(hyversa. .RT .sp 1P .LP 7.6 \fIA/\(*m law encoding\fR .sp 9p .RT .PP The treatment of A/\(*m law encoding and translation in ISDN/PSTN interworking can be based on the continuation of existing procedures whereby appropriate A/\(*m law translation is performed by the \(*m\(hylaw network when crossing international boundaries. Terminals would encode speech and 3.1\ kHz audio using the G.711\ law appropriate to the resident network. Unrestricted 64\ kbit/s services bit streams would not be manipulated in any way by the ISDN: terminals would be free to use any encoding (including G.711 or G.721) as deemed appropriate between themselves when unrestricted 64\ kbit/s capability is requested. .RT .sp 2P .LP \fB8\fR \fBReferences\fR .sp 1P .RT .PP See Recommendation I.500. \v'6p' .RT .sp 2P .LP \fBRecommendation\ I.540\fR .RT .sp 2P .ce 1000 \fBGENERAL\ ARRANGEMENTS\ FOR\ INTERWORKING\fR .EF '% Fascicle\ III.9\ \(em\ Rec.\ I.540'' .OF '''Fascicle\ III.9\ \(em\ Rec.\ I.540 %' .ce 0 .ce 1000 \fBBETWEEN\ CIRCUIT\ SWITCHED\ PUBLIC\ DATA\ NETWORKS\ (CSPDNs)\fR .ce 0 .ce 1000 \fBAND\ INTEGRATED\ SERVICES\ DIGITAL\ NETWORKS\ (ISDNs)\fR .ce 0 .sp 1P .ce 1000 \fBFOR\ THE\ PROVISION\ OF\ DATA\ TRANSMISSION\fR .ce 0 .sp 1P .ce 1000 \fI(Melbourne, 1988)\fR .sp 9p .RT .ce 0 .sp 1P .PP See Recommendation X.321, Volume VIII, Fascicle VIII.6. .bp .sp 1P .RT .sp 2P .LP \fBRecommendation\ I.550\fR .RT .sp 2P .ce 1000 \fBGENERAL\ ARRANGEMENTS\ FOR\ INTERWORKING\fR .EF '% Fascicle\ III.9\ \(em\ Rec.\ I.550'' .OF '''Fascicle\ III.9\ \(em\ Rec.\ I.550 %' .ce 0 .ce 1000 \fBBETWEEN\ PACKET\ SWITCHED\ PUBLIC\ DATA\ NETWORKS\ (PSPDNs)\fR .ce 0 .ce 1000 \fBAND\ INTEGRATED\ SERVICES\ DIGITAL\ NETWORKS\ (ISDNs)\fR .ce 0 .sp 1P .ce 1000 \fBFOR\ THE\ PROVISION\ OF\ DATA\ TRANSMISSION\fR .ce 0 .sp 1P .ce 1000 \fI(Melbourne, 1988)\fR .sp 9p .RT .ce 0 .sp 1P .PP See Recommendation X.325, Volume VIII, Fascicle VIII.6. \v'1P' .sp 1P .RT .sp 2P .LP \fBRecommendation\ I.560\fR .RT .sp 2P .ce 1000 \fBREQUIREMENTS\ TO\ BE\ MET\ IN\ PROVIDING\ THE\ TELEX\ SERVICE\fR .EF '% Fascicle\ III.9\ \(em\ Rec.\ I.560'' .OF '''Fascicle\ III.9\ \(em\ Rec.\ I.560 %' .ce 0 .sp 1P .ce 1000 \fBWITHIN\ THE\ ISDN\fR .ce 0 .sp 1P .ce 1000 \fI(Melbourne, 1988)\fR .sp 9p .RT .ce 0 .sp 1P .PP See Recommendation U.202, Volume VII, Fascicle VII.2. .sp 1P .RT .LP .rs .sp 28P .ad r Blanc .ad b .RT .LP .bp
