8、591 05b0553 5 Recommendation E.331 MINIMUM USER-TERMINAL INTERFACE FOR A HUMAN USER ENTERING ADDRESS INFORMATION INTO AN ISDN TERMINAL 1 General 1.1 Intent This Recommendation is intended to achieve a degree of world-wide uniformity in the basic procedure for a human user inputting address informati

9、on such as destination numbers to an ISDN terminal. It is desirable for a user employing these basic procedures to be able to establish an ISDN connection using any ISDN terminal without requiring specific knowledge about the characteristics of that terminai. It is intended to cover the long-term re

10、quirements rather than to meet intermediate, change-over needs, It provides for the same procedure for the two kinds of signalling: functional (en bloc) signalling between the terminal and the network, and stimulus (overlap) signalling between the user and the network (as in the PSTN). 1.2 Backgroun

11、d The customer using a PSTN terminal communicates directly with a network, but a customer using an ISDN terminal with functional signalling communicates by means of the terminal, which delivers appropriate access- signalling messages to a network in a different form from that used between the user a

The word “dialling“ in this Recommendation is used to mean either this or pushing the diai-pad buttons of a terminal to instruct that terminal. In this Recommendation, references to parameters like NPI and TON, that in Recommendation 4.931 refe

Recommendation E.331 1 _- CCITT RECMN*Em*33L 71 4862593 05b0554 7 m Minimum procedural requirements are in no way intended to preclude taking advantage of opportunities

16、for new or varied communication services, or the design of intelligent terminals, or the design of cooperative procedures for user control. They are intended to ailow the establishment of connections without regard to the type of terminal, and to achieve as much similarity as possible between differ

17、ent countries of origination. Application is primarily but not exclusively aimed at terminals supporting single services, usualiy voice services. 1.3 Underlying principles Some aspects of the ISDN, notably the openness of the numbering plan, the possibility for sub-addresses, and the existence of fu

18、nctional signalling may require users to do some things in ways different from how they are done in the PSTN. However, it is possible and desirable to preserve some aspects of using the PSTN, and this Recommendation attempts to do this as it aims at the following goals: unifying the minimum user-ter

19、minal interface procedures world-wide for establishing calls from ISDN terminals; requiring nothing more of the terminal than the equivalent of the 12-button telephone pad; assisting in a smooth transition from PSTN to ISDN by preserving where possible and convenient a similarity to the procedures o

20、f the PSTN, in particular, by allowing a user to set up a simple voice call with a procedure daering as little as possible from that used for the same purpose in the PSTN, and by maintaining a positioning analogy between the information associated with a destination number and the national uses of p

21、refixes in the PSTN, having procedures bear a visible relationship to the numbering plan for the ISDN era (see Recommendation E. 164); minimizing the number of control actions needed and making it reasonably easy to remember what to do; having the same procedures for functional signalling (where the

22、 terminal translates into Q.931 protocols) as for stimulus signalling (where the network makes the translation). In specifying the basic procedure, this Recommendation recognizes that an agreed set of principles does not necessarily lead different people to the same solution, even though one of the

23、principles is that a single solution is desirable. This Recommendation embodies these principles and provides a single solution 2 Minimum terminal capability 2.1 receive as input from the human user the ten decimal digits and the star (*) and the square (#). This Recommendation defines a minimum pro

24、cedure that can be applied to a termina. -aving the ability to 2.2 The minimum procedure enables the user to specify, for an intended connection: a) the destination number; b) the destination sub-address, if any; c) the numbering plan identification (NPI), if necessary; d) the type of number (TON),

25、if necessary. Future study should add to this list the method to select a carrier and the method to access a supplementary service. 2.3 The minimum procedure does not provide for user input of data for every field required in Q.931 for ISDN addressing. Default values for some fields must be assigned

26、 by the terminal in the case of functional signalling, or by the network in the case of stimulus signalling. 2 Recommendation E.331 CCITT RECMN*E.*331 91 W 4862593 0560555 9 m 3 Numbering plan identification (“I) 2, 3.1 If the called number is in the same numbering plan as the default numbering plan

27、 of the originating terminal, no NPI need be indicated by the user. Note - A voice terminal connected at an S reference point behind a PABX would normally have the private numbering plan of the PABX as its default. A voice terminal connected to the public network via a coincident S/T reference point

28、 would have the E.164 numbering plan as its default. Except when the originating terminal is behind a PABX, the need to indicate a different numbering plan may be infrequent. 3.2 The NPI should be indicated, if at ali, by a single digit followed by a star (*). The digits to be used are for further s

29、tudy. This provision applies only to terminals connected to the public network via a coincident S/T reference point. It is desirable, but not required, that tefminals connected at an S reference point behind a PABX also follow this provision. 3.3 The NPI, when input, precedes both the TON and the ca

30、lled number. Note - A separator is used after the NPI to avoid reserving a digit that could not be used to start an E. 164E. 163 number. 4 Type of number (TON) 3, 4.1 The type of number (TON) should be indicated, if necessary, by up to three digits. To prevent user confusion due to conflict with exi

31、sting national procedures (e.g. prefmes for international access, toll calls and trunk calls), the assignment of TON is a national matter. Note I - Since no character is used to delimit the TON, it should start with a digit that is not used to start a national E.164 number. Note 2 - It is anticipate

32、d that Administrations will choose to indicate TONS for the international number, national number, and network-specific number with the same digits that are used as prefures for analogous purposes in their PSTNs. 4.2 4.3 5 5.1 5.2 5.3 5.4 5.5 The absence of a TON should be taken to mean a local subs

33、criber number. The indication of TON should follow the NPI (if any) and precede the called number. Sub-address and end of dialling The start of a dialled sub-address is indicated by a star. The end of a dialled address (including sub-address, if any: see Figure 2B.33 1) is indicated by a square. Not

34、e - The square is recommended as an end-of-message character in Recommendation E.132. The sub-address of a terminal intended to be accessible from simple terminals should c_ontain only digits. If dialling stops without the terminating square, the decision on how to respond is a national matter. For

35、networks that implement fixed length addresses, it is a matter for urgent study to determine whether an alternative procedure can be defined that does not require a terminator or time-out on every caii, including those that do not involve sub-addresses. 2, Numbering plan identification (NPI) was for

36、merly known in the CCIT Red Book as numberingladdressing plan Information (NAPI). 3, Type of number (TON) was formerly known in the Re Book as type of address (TOA). Recommendation E.331 3 CCITT RECMN*E*331 91 W 4862591 0560.556 O 4 b For example: Note - Because of the possible input of a sub-addres

37、s, a terminal cannot determine from numbering plan information alone (e.g. fixed length numbers) that input has ended. 6 Carrier selection Where pre-cail carrier selection is offered, it is desirable that the basic procedure provide a method for the user to make this selection. This is a matter for

38、future study. 7 Summary 7.1 The NPI followed by a star should be dialled first, ifnecessary. 7.2 The type of number should be dialled next, if necessary. 7.3 The address number should be input next, including one star to begin a sub-address if present, and ending with the terminator square. 7.4 The

39、general sequence is illustrated in Figure 2B.331, with examples of phcular sequences in Figures 3E.331 to 6E.331. In these figures, a national destination code (NDC) in an ISDN number is analogous to a trunk code or area code in a PSTN number. 7.5 A method for selecting a carrier is for future study

40、, as is the method to access a supplementary service.
