This

16、 Recommendation defines the rules to be followed in the international Group 4 Facsimile (Telefax 4) 1.1.2 subscribers to exchange correspondence either manually or automatically via telecommunication networks. The telefax 4 is an international service, offered by Recognized Operating Agencies (ROAS)

17、 enabling 1.1.3 The basic element of the correspondence between people using the service is the page, as the smallest unit of text treated as an entity. No restrictions shall exist as far as the operator procedures for generation of the text or the positioning of text within the reproducible area on

18、 a page are concerned. 1.1.4 Recommendations. Questions of an essentially technical nature concerning the Telefax 4 services are dealt with by the T-Series 1.1.5 In this Recommendation, the word “terminal” is used instead of “apparatus” which appears in Recommendations T.563 and T.6. These two words

19、 should be considered as being equivalent. 1.2 Service definitions 1.2.1 General An essential characteristic of the Telefax 4 service is that it provides a basic level of compatibility between ail terminais participating in the service. 1.2.2 Basic requirements 1.2.2.1 The basic requirements of Tele

20、fax 4 service are as follows: a) the basic level of compatibility is provided between any two terminais both nationally and internationally so that they may communicate image-coded information to each other. This is to be achieved by requiring that terminals comply with Recommendations T.6, T.62, T.

21、70, T.503, T.563 and TAOO-Series; it is for each ROA to decide on the network) on which the Telefax 4 service will be carried. There shall be no restriction on the type of network to be used; b) c) d) it should be possible to extend the Telefax 4 service to any number of countries; to permit private

22、 use options, for example encryption, there shall be no technical limitation on the bit sequence of the subscribers information that may be transmitted; e) a received Telefax 4 message can be printed or displayed as decided by the recipient and the terminal characteristics. If the message is printed

23、, 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; it is intended that the Telefax 4 service should require no changes to the Recommendations for existing services or net

24、works. f) Recommendation F.184 (07/96) 1 1.2.3 Standardized options 1.2.3.1 It is recognized that some subscribers may need to use their Group 4 facsimile terminals to communicate nationally and internationally using service features that are not included in the basic requirements. A number of ITU-T

25、 standardized options should, therefore, be defined. However, the provision of any option in a service leads to some degree of incompatibility and the number of standardized options should be restricted to those features which are listed below for which a clear international need can be foreseen. Th

26、e sending terminal shall ensure the transmission of documents using only those options that have been indicated as being available at the receiving terminal. 1.2.3.2 The standardized options should provide means for: a) b) c) d) e) printable areas (Recommendation T.563); f) g) h) NOTES 1 2 different

27、 pel transmission densities (Recommendation T.563); optional coding schemes (Recommendations T.6, T.81 and T.82); grey scale images (Recommendations T.42, T.81, T.82 and T.85); colour images (Recommendations T.42, T.81, T.82 and T.85); escape into national and private options (Recommendation T.62);

28、resolution conversion algorithms (Recommendation T.563); file transfer - for further study. Administrations and ROAS are encouraged to ensure that standardized and nationally defined options are used in such As the service develops, there is a need for further study and consequently changes may be r

29、equired to the above list. a way as to minimize the need for the introduction of private use options. 1.4 Restrictions on the use of the Telefax 4 service NOTE - Please refer to Recommendation F. 160 for details. 2 Network requirements 2.1 It is the responsibility of each ROA to decide on which netw

30、ork(s) the Telefax 4 service is to be provided. The term Telefax 4 network, as used in this Recommendation, shall be taken to mean a network on which Telefax 4 service is provided. 2.2 Considering that the Telefax 4 service may be operated on the following networks: a) b) c) Telefax 4 service on an

31、Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN). Telefax 4 service on a Circuit Switched Public Data Network (CSPDN). Telefax 4 service on a Packet Switched Public Data Network (PSPDN). Interworking between Group 4 facsimile terminals supported on any networks must be possible. 2.3 agreements to use othe

32、r means may be made where necessary. 2.4 networks, Recommendation X.300 shall apply. 2.5 up to 64 kbit/s. The intemational connection shall use international data transmission facilities. Exceptionally, bilateral In the case of international interworking between Group 4 facsimile terminals connected

33、 to dissimilar International routes between ISDNs for the Telefax 4 service shall be capable of supporting user data rates of 3 Numbering plan 3.1 Considering that it is the responsibility of each ROA to decide on the network(s) to be used for the Telefax 4 service in accordance with the options not

34、ed in clause 2, the Telefax 4 numbering pian must accommodate these options. 2 Recommendation F.184 (07/96) 3.2 Recommendation E.164 for ISDN, and Recommendation X. 121 for Public Data Networks (PDNs). The Telefax 4 numbering plan is based upon the individual numbering plans of each of these network

35、s, i.e. 3.3 Each of these numbering plans provides for international calls between similar networks. 3.4 existing networks. Further study is required. Administrations are requested to consider the numbering plan of their particular implementation relative to the 4 Coding scheme 4.1 The basic coding

36、scheme for the international Telefax 4 service is detailed in Recommendation T.6. 5 Operation of the Telefax 4 service 5.1 General 5.1.1 The Telefax 4 service in each country and the interconnection between countries or networks shall use fully automatic switching so that it is possible for any Tele

37、fax 4 subscriber to reach any other Telefax 4 subscriber using fully automatic selection. 5.1.2 It is a requirement to allow the through connection of a call between Group 4 facsimile terminals connected to a private automatic branch exchange (or similar systems) and those connected to public exchan

38、ges used for the Telefax 4 service. 5.1.3 One-way Communication (OWC); the calling subscriber will have full control of the Group 4 facsimile call. Two-way Alternate (TWA) communication is a capability of the Telefax 4 service, which also includes 5.1.4 Interworking with other services For further s

39、tudy 5.1.4.1 Interworking between telefax services Communication between terminals should take place at the level of compatibility at, or nearest to, the parameters initially selected by the originating user. The determination of this level should be carried out automatically via the pre- message pr

40、ocedures. This should take into account aspects of the quality of transmission media available in the participating networks and the options available on the receiving terminal. 1) Telefax 4 (ISDN) - Telefax 3 (PSnV) Interworking between terminals of the Telefax 4 service connected to the ISDN and t

41、erminals of the Telefax 3 service (see Recommendation F.180) should be provided as a function of the Group 4 terminal. Telefax 4 terminals connected to the ISDN will use specific service features of the ISDN. The capability of the Telefax 4 terminal on the ISDN shall be as follows: i) Calls from Tel

42、efax 4 (ISDN) to Telefax 3 (PSTN) should be set up using the 3.1 kHz audio bearer service if it is known that the called number is Telefax 3. Otherwise, the Telefax 4 will attempt the call using the circuit mode 64 kbit/s 8 kHz structured multi-user bearer service category (MUB - Recommendation 1.23

43、1.9) specifying the 3.1 kHz fallback option. Where a network does not support the MUB service, an alternative solution would be to attempt the Telefax 4 call initially using the 64 kbit/s bearer service and, if unsuccessful, re-attempt the call as a Telefax 3 using the 3.1 kHz, audio bearer service.

44、 This will allow the completion of calls to other ISDN terminals or PSTN Group 3 terminals. Recommendation F.184 (07/96) 3 ii) Calls from Telefax 3 (PSTN) to the ISDN terminal will be presented on the 3.1 kHz audio bearer service. The Telefax 4 (ISDN) terminai shall accept the call and operate as a

45、Group 3 terminal. NOTE -Telefax 4 (ISDN) - ISDN calls will use the 64 kbit/s bearer service. 2) Telefax 4 (PDN) - Telefax 3 (PSm) In this case, Telefax 4 terminals use data transmission facilities. Interworking shall be provided by network interworking units. As far as the numbering plans are concer

46、ned, refer to paragraphs 3.4 and 3.5. 5.1.4.2 provided in accordance with the appropriate ITU-T Recommendation. 5.1.4.3 facsimile provided over public switched networks. Interworking between Telefax 4 terminals provided on different Public Data Networks (PDNs) shall be Interworking is desirable betw
