Abstract

Specifies the technical conditions and performance requirements, at the Physical, Data Link and Network Layers (Layers 1, 2 and 3), for CE that is intended for connection to an ETSI Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) Primary Rate Access Digital Subscriber Signalling No. 1 (DDS 1) interface for the purpose of receiving information from, or transmitting information to, the ISDN at the T reference point.

Scope

2.1 This Standard specifies the technical conditions and performance requirements, at the Physical, Data Link and Network Layers (Layers 1, 2 and 3), for CE that is intended for connection to an ETSI Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) Primary Rate Access Digital Subscriber Signalling No. 1 (DDS 1) interface for the purpose of receiving information from, or transmitting information to, the ISDN at the T reference point.
2.2 CE is not excluded from the scope of this Standard by reason only that it is capable of performing functions additional to those listed above.
2.3 For additional technical requirements applying to CE, this Standard should be read in conjunction with those ACA Technical Standards and other documents listed in Clause 3: REFERENCES of this Standard.
2.4 Where CE is also intended to connect to the ISDN Primary Rate Access services based on ACA Technical Standard 014 [1], then CE is to also meet the requirements specified in ACA Technical Standard 014 [1].
