8、 telex service and the videotex service. This Recommendation defines the service requirements and operational procedures for interworking between 1.2 Other relevant Recommendations are: - F.300 defining videotex service aspects; T-Series Recommendations on videotex technical aspects; - - F.60, F.69
9、and other F-Series Recommendations on the international telex service aspects; . - U-, R- and S-Series Recommendations on switching, terminal and transmission aspects of the telex service; U.206 on technical aspects specific to telex/videotex interworking. - 2 Service principles 2.1 Quality of Servi
10、ce perceived by subscribers to either service and within that service is not degraded. Interworking is intended to extend the usefulness and accessibility of both services, while ensuring that the 2.2 Interworking between the telex and videotex services shall be provided by means of a telexlvideotex
11、 conversion facility (VTXCF), the two sides of which comply with the telex and videotex service requirements respectively. The additional service requirements concerning interworking are specified below. 2.3 At least in international relations, the following general principles apply: a) interworking
12、 shall be automatic; b) in principle, the telex network should be used to provide the international connection; consequently the VTXCF should normally be located in the same country as the videotex service user, as shown in Figure lF.86; c) nevertheless, where bilaterally agreed by the two Administr
13、ations concerned, an international videotex connection may be used with the VTXCF in the telex subscribers country. In that case, arrangements may be needed to cover practical operational aspects such as routing, differing protocois and tariffs. 2.4 Interworking in the telex-to-videotex direction sh
14、ould allow for a message handling. Telex subscribers should normally limit their messages to a 40 character line length, otherwise the format of the original message cannot always be preserved when presented on the videotex terminal. Where necessary, the VTXCF will automatically adjust the layout to
15、 suit the videotex terminal requirements. Telex subscribers should be made aware that some videotex terminals are not able to provide a hard copy of the message received. The Administration may provide a hard copy delivery service as an additional option, Recommendation F.86 1 international boundary

The VTXCF shall handle such messages on a store-and-forward basis. In order to maintain similarity between the transmitted and received messages, the v
18、ideotex terminal or user should restrict each message to the character repertoire of International Telegraph Alphabet No. 2, any other characters being converted by the VTXCF to meet the requirements of the international telex service in accordance with Recommendation S.18. 2.6 It is the responsibil
19、ity of the VTXCF to perform the following conversions, where necessary: - service procedures; - transmission rate; - code; - linelength; - insertion of the necessary control characters (figure-shift, letter-shift, carriage-return, line feed). 3 Methods of interworking 3.1 Considering: a) that videot
20、ex terminals may have access to public data networks whose numbering plan is defined in Recommendation X. 121; that signalling on international telex trunks allows a maximum of 12 digits to be transmitted, b) the two following methods of interworking between the telex service and the videotex servic
21、e can be provided: i) ii) interworking with one-stage access from the telex subscriber; interworking with two-stage access from the telex subscriber. 3.2 account possible implications of the operational procedures to foreign telex subscribers. It is up to the Administration to decide which method ca

The called videotex address should be validated on each call. The validation proced
24、ures applied are a 4.3 The procedure to be followed should the validation result be negative, Le. the called videotex address does not exist, or is in a not-ready condition, controlled or otherwise, will depend on whether both the telex network and the VTXCF are operated by the same Administration o
25、r not. These procedures are described in $5 6 and 7. 4.4 24000 characters for each call. The storage capacity of a VTXCF shall be enough to allow a guaranteed message of length of 4.5 If abnormal conditions occur (see Recommendation U.206, Annex A for details), the VTXCF shall route any message rece
26、ived so far to the videotex address, adding a header with information that the message might be incomplete. 4.6 It is the responsibility of the Administration providing the VTXCF to arrange alternative means of delivery of a message which was not retrieved by the videotex user, either through not lo
27、gging-in to the service or by not retrieving the message within a reasonable time after storage in the videotex system. This time period is for further study. 5 General service requirements for videotex-to-telex direction 5.1 The videotex user shall access the VTXCF in accordance with national requi
28、rements. 5.2 The message shall appear at the telex terminal as a normal telex message. 5.3 The sender shall always be informed, on request, of the status of each message. 6 interworking using one-stage selection procedure for the telex-to-videotex direction 6.1 messages and may be assigned a telex n

43、es, one-stage and two-stage VTXCFs 8.1 The videotex service user may send a message to a terminal of the international telex service in accordance with the principles contained in Recommendation F.300. The method of depositing a message on the part of the videotex service user for delivery to the in
44、ternational telex service is a national matter. 8.2 The VTXCF shall set up the connection to the required telex subscriber in accordance with normal telex procedures. Where validation of the telex recipient has been requested, the received telex answerback shall be verified in accordance with Recomm
45、endation U.75 to ensure correct delivery. Should the verification fail, the call attempt shall be deemed unsuccessful. This procedure should be applied at both the beginning and end of the call. 8.3 Having received the called telex answerback, the VTXCF shall forward its answerback to the called tel
46、ex subscriber in the case of a two-stage VTXCF. Where a one-stage selection procedure is used in the telex-to-videotex direction and the videotex subscriber has been assigned a telex number, the answerback to be forwarded should be that of the registered videotex address. The procedures for answerba
47、ck exchange shall comply with Recommendation S .23. 8.4 In the particular case of a two-stage VTXCF on the telex side, it is recommended that the VTXCF attach a herald to the text of the message to indicate the source of the message and the recall address. As a minimum, and as shown in Figure 3F.86,
48、 such a herald should include two fields, as follows: - - the VTXCF answerback. the recall address, preceded by the text FOR RECALL; Exchange of answerbacks between the VTXCF and the telex subscriber ,-.-.- HERALD FOR RECALL: Videotex address (Note) VTXCF answerback I ._._-_._- MESSAGE I Exchange o
