21、 14 14 1 111 Recommendation X.3 PACKET ASSEMBLY/DISASSEMBLY FACILITY (PAD) IN A PUBLIC DATA NETWORK (revised in 2000) Scope The establishment in various countries of public data networks providing packet switched data transmission services creates a need to produce standards to facilitate access fro

22、m the public telephone network, circuit switched public data networks and leased circuits. The ITU-T, considering a) that Recommendations X.l and X.2 define the user classes of service and user facilities in public data networks, Recommendation X.96 defines call progress signals, Recommendation X.29

23、 defiies the procedures between a packet assembly/disassembly facility (PAD) and a packet mode DTE or another PAD, Recommendation X.28 defines the DTEDCE interface for a start-stop mode DTE accessing the PAD; b) X.92, and that in particular Recommendation X.92 allows for the incorporation of a PAD;

24、that the logical control links for packet switched data transmission services are defined in Recommendation c) the urgent need to allow interworking between a start-stop mode DTE on a public switched telephone network, a public switched data network or leased circuit, and a packet mode DTE or anothe

25、r start-stop mode DTE using the virtual call facility of the packet switched data service; 4 information in the form of characters or the break signals; that DTEs operating in the start-stop mode will send and receive network control information and user e) information in the form of packets in acco

30、ns of the PAD 1.1 The PAD performs a number of functions and exhibits operational characteristics. Some of the functions allow either or both the start-stop mode DTE and the packet mode DTE (or remote PAD) to configure the PAD so that its operation is adapted to the start-stop mode DTE characteristi

31、cs, and possible to the application. 1.2 The operation of the PAD depends on the value of the set of internal variables called PAD parameters. This set of parameters exists for each start-stop mode DTE independently. The current value of each PAD parameter defines the operational characteristics of

32、its related function. 1.3 Functions of the PAD 1.3.1 Basic functions include: - - - - generation of service signals; - assembly of characters into packets; disassembly of the user data field of packets; handling of virtual call Set-up and clearing, resetting and interrupt procedures; a mechanism for

33、 forwarding packets when the proper conditions exist, e.g., when a packet is full or an idle timer expires; a mechanism for transmitting data characters, including start, stop and parity elements as appropriate to the start- stop mode DTE; a mechanism for handling a break signal fiom the start-stop

34、mode DTE; editing of PAD command signals; a mechanism for setting and reading the current value of PAD parameters. - - - - 1.3.2 Optional functions include: - - - a mechanism for the selection of a standard profile; automatic detection of data rate, code, parity and operational characteristics; a me

35、chanism for the remote DTE to request a virtual call between the start-stop mode DTE and another DTE. 1.4 A number of packet-switched data network facilities may be available either on a subscription basis or on a per call basis, to start-stop mode DTEs as described in Recommendation X.2 for user cl

36、asses of service 20 to 22. In addition, the following features may be available on a subscription basis: - - - User selectable functions which may be provided by the PAD selection of an initial profile; modem type, speed, code and parity to be used by the PAD; other operational characteristics of th

37、e DTE. As defined in this Recommendation, parameters provide for functions which concern: - - - - management of the procedure between the start-stop mode DTE and the PAD; management of the assembly and disassembly of packets; a number of additional functions related to the operational characteristic

38、s of the start-stop mode DTE; a number of additional functions related to videotex applications. The method for the control of these functions is specified in Recommendation X.28 for the start-stop mode DTE and in Recommendation X.29 for the packet mode DTE or for another PAD. Table 1 shows details

39、of the valid values and combination of values of PAD parameters standardized by ITU-T. Other values and combinations of values are for further study. 2 Recommendation X.3 (03/00) 1.4.1 This function allows the start-stop mode DTE to initiate an escape from the data transfer state or the connection i

40、n progress state in order to send PAD command signals. PAD recali using a character 1.4.2 Echo This function provides for characters received from the start-stop mode DTE to be transmitted back to the start-stop mode DTE as well as being interpreted by the PAD. 1.4.3 This function allows the selecti

41、on of defined sets of character(s) received from the start-stop mode DTE to be recognized by the PAD as an indication to complete the assembly and forward a complete packet sequence as defined in Recommendation X.25. Selection of the data forwarding characters 1.4.4 Selection of idle timer delay Thi

42、s function allows the selection of the duration of an interval between successive characters received from the start- stop mode DTE which, when exceeded, will cause the PAD to terminate the assembly of a packet and to forward it as defined in Recommendation X.25. 1.4.5 Ancillary device control This

43、function allows for flow control between the PAD and the start-stop mode DTE. The PAD indicates whether it is ready or not to accept characters from the start-stop mode DTE by transmitting special characters. These characters are those which in International Alphabet No. 5 (IA5) are used to switch a

44、n ancillary transmitting device on and off. 1.4.6 This function provides the start-stop mode DTE with the ability to decide whether or not and in what format PAD service signals are transmitted. Control of PAD service signals 1.4.7 Selection of operation of the PAD on receipt of the break signal Thi

45、s function allows the selection of the operation of the PAD after the receipt of a break signal from the start-stop mode DTE. 1.4.8 Discard output This function provides for a PAD to discard the content of user sequences in packets upon request rather than disassembling and transmitting these to the

46、 start-stop mode DTE. 1.4.9 Padding after carriage return This function provides for the automatic insertion by the PAD of padding characters in the character stream transmitted to the start-stop mode DTE after the occurrence of a carriage return character. This allows for the printing mechanism for

47、 the start-stop mode DTE to perform the carriage return function correctly. 1.4.10 Line folding This function provides for the automatic insertion by the PAD of appropriate format effectors in the character stream transmitted to the start-stop mode DTE. The predetermined maximum number of graphic ch

48、aracters per line may be set. 1.4.11 This function allows for flow control between the start-stop mode DTE and the PAD. The start-stop mode DTE indicates whether it is ready or not to accept characters from the PAD by transmitting special characters. These characters are those which in IA5 are used

49、to switch an ancillary transmitting device on and off. Flow control of the PAD by the start-stop mode DTE 1.4.12 This function provides for the automatic insertion by the PAD of a linefeed character in the character stream to or from the start-stop mode DTE or after each of each carriage return character. This function applies only in the data transfer state. Linefeed insertion after carriage return Recommendation X.3 (03/00) 3 1.4.13 Padding after linefeed This function provides for the automatic insertion by the PAD of padding characters in the character stream transmitted to the start-s
