The state transition diagrams are intended to show precisely the behaviour of the signalling system under normal and abnormal conditions as viewed from a remote location.

Included within each input and output symbol in the state transition diagrams are acronyms which identify the functions which are the source and destination of the message, e.g.: .LP L2\ \(ra | 3 indicates that the message is sent between functional levels: .LP from: functional level 2, .LP to: functional level 3. .LP RTPC\ \(ra | SRC indicates that the message is sent within a functional level (3 in this case): .LP from: signalling route management\(hytransfer prohibited control, .LP to: signalling traffic management\(hysignalling routing control. .PP 16.2.4 Internal inputs and outputs are only used to indicate control of time\(hyouts. .sp 9p .RT .sp 1P .LP 16.2.5 \fINotations for national operations\fR .sp 9p .RT .PP National options are included in the main body of the state transition diagrams (STDs) with dotted or dashed lines; if their use should exclude or modify some of the international logic, the relevant sections are marked\ \*Qt\*U and a note is added to the figure.
