Overview

SIST ETS 300 415 E2:2003, titled Private Integrated Services Network (PISN); Terms and Definitions, is the Slovenian adaptation of the second edition of the European Telecommunications Standard ETS 300 415. Published by SIST, this standard provides a harmonized vocabulary for Private Integrated Services Networks (PISN). The document revises and expands upon the first edition by including new terms and definitions relevant to evolving private communication networks and services.

A well-defined and standardized set of terms ensures clarity, consistency, and interoperability across PISN implementations in information technology and telecommunications, especially where private and public networks interface. This standard acts as a foundational reference for network designers, administrators, equipment manufacturers, and service providers working with PISN environments.

Key Topics

SIST ETS 300 415 E2:2003 covers a wide range of terminology associated with private telecommunications networks. Key areas addressed in the standard include:

  • Definitions of Core Entities: Clarity around what constitutes a Private Integrated Services Network (PISN), Corporate Telecommunications Network (CN), and Virtual Private Network (VPN).
  • PISN Node Functions: Definitions of Private Integrated services Network eXchange (PINX), including roles such as Integrated Services Private Branch eXchange (ISPBX) and Integrated Services Centralized eXchange (ISCTX).
  • Functionalities: Differentiation of call-related functionalities such as End-PINX, Transit-PINX, and Gateway-PINX.
  • User Equipment and Connections: Standardized descriptions of terminal equipment (TE), access links, inter-PINX links, and types of network connections (dedicated, semi-permanent, switched).
  • Administrative Roles: Distinction between different network management roles, such as the PISN administrator.
  • Numbering and Addressing: Framework for addressing, numbering plans, and related concepts such as Private Numbering Plans (PNP) and PISN numbers.
  • Mobility and Security: Terminology related to user mobility within the network, including concepts like authentication, handover, roaming, and databases for user location management.

Applications

Implementing the vocabulary defined in SIST ETS 300 415 E2:2003 delivers several practical benefits:

  • Interoperability: Ensures consistent understanding when designing, specifying, and integrating multi-vendor solutions within private telecommunication environments.
  • Procurement & Compliance: Provides a common language for specifying requirements and evaluating compliance in tenders and contracts involving PISN systems.
  • Network Management: Facilitates communication between network administrators, service providers, and users by standardizing terms for configuration, maintenance, and troubleshooting.
  • Documentation & Training: Serves as an authoritative reference for technical documentation, user manuals, training materials, and internal policies.
  • International Alignment: Supports harmonization with international standards, enhancing compatibility beyond national or regional implementations.

Related Standards

To maximize value and stay aligned with broader telecommunication frameworks, the following related standards and references should be considered:

  • CCITT Recommendation E.164: Numbering plan for the ISDN era.
  • ISO/IEC 11579-1: Reference configuration for PISN exchanges (PINX).
  • ITU-T Recommendation I.112: Vocabulary of terms for ISDNs.
  • ETR 076: Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) standards guide.
  • Draft IEC 50(715): International Electrotechnical Vocabulary for telecommunication networks.
  • ETSI standards: Other relevant ETSI publications on private and public network architectures and protocols.

Adhering to SIST ETS 300 415 E2:2003 ensures clarity and consistency in terminology, supporting robust PISN design, deployment, and management in office communications, telephony, and enterprise network environments.

1 Scope
This second edition European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) defines terms commonly used in ETSs
on the subject of Private Integrated Services Networks (PISNs). The purpose of defining terms and
definitions is to guide the further specification of PISN capabilities and to permit consistency of
interpretation between ETSs containing such specifications.
The terms and definitions given in this ETS apply to the technical aspects of PISNs. They do not address
legal or regulatory issues.
An ETS shall be deemed to be in compliance with this ETS if it uses terms with the meanings as defined
by this ETS.
Terms not defined here may be defined context-specific in the relevant standards or technical reports.
2 Normative reference
This ETS incorporates by dated and undated reference, provisions from other publications. These
normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed
hereafter. For dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications
apply to this ETS only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references the latest
edition of the publication referred to applies.
[1] CCITT Recommendation E.164 (1991): "Numbering plan for the ISDN era".

4 Terms and definitions
The following subclauses are arranged in logical order. An alphabetical index is to be found at the end of
this ETS.
NOTE: Draft IEC 50(715) has been used as the basis for the preparation of this ETS. The
suitability of other definitions of that document will be considered as a subject arises.
4.1 Public
An attribute indicating that the application of an item qualified by "public", e.g. a network, a unit of
equipment, a service, is offered to the general public. This attribute does not indicate any aspects of
ownership.
NOTE: This definition does not include legal or regulatory aspects.

Page 8
ETS 300 415: October 1996
4.2 Private
An attribute indicating that the application of an item qualified by "private", e.g. a network, a unit of
equipment, a service, is offered to a pre-determined set of users. This attribute does not indicate any
aspects of ownership.
NOTE: This definition does not include legal or regulatory aspects.
4.3 Private Integrated Services Network (PISN)
A network serving a pre-determined set of users (different from a public network which provides services
to the general public). The attribute "private" does not indicate any aspects of ownership.
NOTE 1: This definition does not include legal or regulatory aspects.
NOTE 2: PISNs may extend over large geographical areas. This definition does not imply any
specific implementation.
NOTE 3: In facilitating the evolution towards the consistent world-wide use of the term "PISN",
the previously used term "Private telecommunication network (PTN)" is superseded by
the term "PISN". This will not invalidate the scope of the services standardized by ETSI
for PTNs.
4.4 Corporate telecommunication Network (CN)
The same definition as for subclause 4.3, "Private Integrated Services Network (PISN)", applies. Annex B
provides additional information.
4.5 Private Integrated services Network eXchange (PINX)
A PISN nodal entity that provides automatic switching and call handling functions used for the provision of
telecommunication services. The nodal entity can be implemented by one or more pieces of equipment
located on the premises of the private network administrator or by equipment co-located with, or physically
part of, a public network.
NOTE 1: If applicable, a PINX provides to users of the same and/or other private integrated
services network exchanges:
- telecommunication services within its own area; and/or
- telecommunication services from the public ISDN; and/or
- telecommunication services from other public or private networks; and/or
- within the context of a PISN, telecommunication services from other PINXs.
NOTE 2: In facilitating the evolution towards the consistent world-wide use of the term "PINX",
the previously used term "Private telecommunication network exchange (PTNX)" is
superseded by the term "PINX". This will not invalidate the scope of the services
standardized by ETSI for PTNs.
A PINX may perform the functions of one or more of the node types given in subclauses 4.5.1 and 4.5.2.
4.5.1 Integrated Services Private Branch eXchange (ISPBX)
The implementation of a PINX offering ISDN-like capabilities, separate from public network equipment.
NOTE: An ISPBX is usually located on the premises of a private network administrator.
4.5.2 Integrated Services CenTralized eXchange (ISCTX)
The implementation of a PINX offering ISDN-like capabilities, as part of public network equipment.
NOTE: An ISCTX is usually located on the premises of a public network operator.
