10、.141 INSTRUCTIONS FOR OPERATORS ON THE OPERATOR-ASSISTED INTERNATIONAL TELEPHONE SERVICE Introduction Although the international telephone service has evolved dramatically over the years, the role of the operator has remained an important element in the provision of services to customers. Recognizin

11、g the higher standards for reliability of telephone communications for voice and data service, the following “Instructions” are designed to prepare the international operator to handle requests for assistance in the successful connection and completion of international calls. To this end, Administra

12、tions should: - attach the greatest importance to the professional training of supervisors and staff operating international operator positions, and - make every effort to see that these “Instructions” are diligently applied. The attention of Administrations is drawn to ITU-T Recommendations E. 140

13、(Operator-assisted telephone service), E. 105 (International telephone service), F. 17 (Operational aspects of service telecommunications). More detail on the operational principles in the international public telephone service will be found in the E-series Recommendations. Finally, it is the close

14、and friendly collaboration between operators and their courtesy and adherence to these “Instructions” which will greatly facilitate the effective operation of the intemational telephone service.

15、e definition of the “Instructions” see the International Telecommunication Regulations (Melbourne, 1988), Article 2. See Recommendation C.3 for the general principles concerning the “Instructions”, including arrangements for their periodic amendment and the date of entry into effect of new or amende

16、d “Instructions”. In these “Instructions”, the expression “Administration” is used for shortness to indicate both a telecommunication Administration and a Recognized Private Operating Agency (MOA). Customers and operators, of course, are both male and female. The use of pronouns and gender-specific

17、forms of words throughout these “Instructions” carry no implications, and where one gender form appears, the other is also implied. 0*0.0.0*0*0 STD.ITU-T HDBK IIT-ENGL L993 W 4b2591i ObL038 568 m SECTION I GENERAL STD-ITU-T HDBK IIT-ENGL 1993 48b257L Ob83037 4T4 - 11 - CHAPTER I Definitions Article

18、1 International exchange The exchange (at the end of an international telephone circuit) which switches calls destined to or originating from another country is called an international exchange Administrations shall designate or, in case of joint utilization, concur in designating the exchanges in t

19、he territory they service which are to be regarded as international exchanges Article 2 internationai transit exchange An international exchange which switches calls both originating and terminating in other countries is called an international transit exchange. Article 3 Controlling exchange 1. ord

21、ree among themselves to 3. As a general rule, they shall select for this purpose: 3.1 operating that circuit on the cailing party side; when a single international circuit is used, the international exchange 3.2 when two or more international circuits are used: a) either the international exchange w

22、hich has access to the first international circuit on the calling party side; or b) the international transit exchange designated by joint agreement of the Administrations concerned. Nore - It may be that the international circuits are not operated exclusively by operators at the international excha

23、nge where they end; operators at other international or national exchanges may also have access to them by means of an automatic transit device. In such circumstances these international or national exchanges must be treated as though they were a controlling exchange, as far as setting up calls is c

24、oncerned. Article 4 Controlling operator The controlling operator is the outgoing operator in the controlling exchange who operates the international circuit. The controlling position is the position used by the controlling operator. Note - However, it may happen that the outgoing international circ

25、uit is also operated by an operator in an intemational or even a national exchange. If this is so, the latter operator is considered as controlling operator. - 13 - Article 5 Telephone circuit (International or trunk circuits) 1. between two exchanges (manual or automatic) is called a telephonq circ

27、le 6 Traffic routes 1. A route comprises the circuits to be used for international telephone traffic between two given international exchanges. They are designated by agreement between Administrations. A distinction is made between primary and secondary. 1.1 destination. Primary route: the circuit g

28、roup normally used for reaching the called 1.2 Secondary route or routes: the circuit group to be used when the primary route is congested, or when the transmission on the primary route is not sufficiently good, or it is outside the normal hours,of service on the primary route. Article 7 Telephone c

29、all A telephone call is the interconnection of two telephone stations or terminals. Note - A telephone call can be made using the automatic or operator service. Article 8 Telephone message A telephone message is an effective call over a connection established either automatically or by operator assi

30、stance between the calling and the called stations or terminals. A telephone connection may also be used to cany data or fax messages. Article 9 Automatic service In the automatic service the call is established without the assistance of an operator. The user enters the number necessary to obtain th

31、e called station or terminal. STD*ITU-T HDBK IIT-ENGL 1993 48b2591 Ob81043 925 D - 15 - Article 10 Operator service In the operator service the call is established with the assistance of an 1) in semi-automatic operation an international operator establishes a call with the called station or termina

The call can be established semi-automatically or manually: Article 11 Call request The first application made by

33、 the caller for a telephone call is called the call request. Article 12 Successive phases of a caii ne successive steps normally taken in the setting-up of an intemational telephone call in the manual or semi-automatic service are defined as follows: - - - the caller has placed his request; the cont

34、rolling operator has received all of the call details; the controlling operator has made the first attempt to set up the call; tl t2 STD-ITU-T HDBK IIT-ENGL 1993 4862593 0683044 861 - 16 - - t3 the called number has replied or the caller has been informed why the call cannot be connected; - t4 the c

35、alled person (or called extension) has been obtained or the caller has been informed why the call cannot be connected (this step is only significant for personal calls); - t5 the end of the call is generally when the caller replaces the receiver; - . disconnection, normally when the international ci

36、rcuit is released by the operator or by the equipment of the international exchange of the calling party side. Article 13 Request transmission time The time interval ti-to is the time taken in passing the call request to the controlling operator. Article 14 Delay time 1. controlling exchange. The ti

STD*ITU-T HDBK IIT-ENGL 1993 4Bb2591 Ob81045 7T8 - 17 - Article 15 Seting-up time of a call 1 The time interval: a) tg-ti is the setting-up of station call; b) b-tl is the total sett

38、ing-up time of a personal call. These times include any delay at the outgoing international exchange. 2. Article 16 Duration of a call The time interval: a) tg-tg is the duration of a station call; b) t5-t4 is the duration of a personal call. Article 17 Chargeable duration 1. chargeable duration. 2.

39、 The chargeable duration is equal to the duration of the call reduced in manual or semi-automatic service, if necessary, to make allowance for any interruptions or other difficulties which might have occurred during the call. The time interval on which the charge for a call is based is called the ST

Article 19 Holding time of an international circuit 1. The time interval t b) indirect manual demand operating In this method of operating, the o

42、perator at the incoming international exchange always acts as an interpreter between the operator in the outgoing international exchange and the called Party. 2.2 Semi-automatic demand operating In this method of operating, the operator in the outgoing intemational exchange controls the automatic sw

43、itching operations to obtain either the called station, or an operator in the incoming or transit international exchange (or an operator in a manual exchange in the country of destination).

44、ing preparation operating, after the request is recorded by an operator in the outgoing international exchange, another operator in the exchange sets up the call. After the requests have been put in order at the exchange, the controlling operator sees to it that the calling station is connected on t

45、he international circuit without loss of time; the call is then set up at the called end as in the case of demand operating. Article 23 Advance preparation operating 1. In advance preparation operating, after the request is recorded by a first operator in the outgoing international exchange, another

46、 operator in this exchange sets up the call. This second operator sees to it that the calling and called stations are connected without loss of time on the international circuit or circuits. 2. Advance preparation operating requires preparation at both the outgoing and incoming international exchang
