Overview

SIST ETS 300 076 E1:2003 specifies the Videotex Terminal Facility Identifier (TFI), a fundamental feature for identifying the capabilities of terminal equipment (TE) in Videotex services. Developed by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) and adopted by the Slovenian Institute for Standardization (SIST), this standard ensures that Videotex terminals and services effectively communicate their supported functions, profiles, and conformance levels. The TFI is instrumental in enabling interoperability and optimizing the user experience in Videotex communications by allowing services to tailor content based on terminal capabilities.

Key Topics

  • Terminal Facility Identifier (TFI): Defines the structure and use of TFI to communicate terminal profiles and features.
  • Videotex Services: Ensures consistent capability advertisement across Videotex terminals and services.
  • Coding Structure: Establishes code formats to request and respond with terminal capability data.
  • Profiles and Conformance: Details profiles (such as alpha-mosaic and geometric), capability identification, and levels of conformance to the Service Reference Model (SRM).
  • Feature Execution Ability: Mechanism for determining a terminal's ability to execute specific Videotex Presentation Data Elements (VPDE).
  • Sound and Data Capabilities: Provisions for reporting special capabilities, such as sound processing, transparent data, and processable data modes.

Applications

The guidelines described in SIST ETS 300 076 E1:2003 have several significant applications in the field of telecommunications:

  • Terminal Identification: Enables content providers and Videotex services to detect the functionalities and limitations of user terminals automatically, ensuring improved compatibility and user experience.
  • Interoperability Assurance: Facilitates seamless communication between various Videotex systems and terminal equipment, even across diverse hardware and geographical boundaries.
  • Dynamic Content Delivery: Allows Videotex services to adapt content (such as text, graphics, or sound) based on the actual capabilities of the accessing terminal, optimizing performance and visual quality.
  • Equipment Certification: Assists manufacturers and service providers in certifying terminal equipment for compliance with European Videotex standards, supporting market access and product reliability.
  • Network Troubleshooting: Provides a standardized method for diagnostics by enabling terminals to communicate their supported features and conformance states.

Related Standards

SIST ETS 300 076 E1:2003 is part of an integrated set of standards focused on Videotex terminal and service interaction. Closely associated standards include:

  • ETS 300 072: Terminal Equipment (TE); Videotex Presentation Layer Protocol
  • ETS 300 073: Videotex Presentation Layer Data Syntax (Geometric Display)
  • ETS 300 074: Videotex Presentation Layer Data Syntax (Transparent Data)
  • ETS 300 075: Terminal Equipment (TE); Videotex Processable Data

These related standards define the protocol, data formats, display features, and processable data required for comprehensive Videotex communication.


By adhering to SIST ETS 300 076 E1:2003, industry stakeholders ensure consistent terminal equipment identification within the Videotex ecosystem, leading to enhanced compatibility, greater user satisfaction, and robust communication infrastructures. For those developing or deploying Videotex solutions, understanding and implementing the TFI specification is essential for optimal service delivery and market conformity.

Foreword
This European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) was produced by the Terminal Equipment (TE)
Technical Committee of the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) in May 1990.
This standard describes the Terminal Facility Identifier (TFI) which may be used to ascertain the
capabilities of either a physical Videotex Terminal or another Videotex Service. This ETS is one of an
integrated package of 5 ETSs covering various aspects of videotex which comprises:
ETS 300 072 Terminal Equipment (TE);
Videotex presentation layer protocol
Videotex presentation layer data syntax
ETS 300 073 Videotex presentation layer data syntax
Geometric Display
(CEPT Recommendation T/TE 06-02, Edinburgh 1988)
ETS 300 074 Videotex presentation layer data syntax transparent data
(CEPT Recommendation T/TE 06-03, Edinburgh 1988)
ETS 300 075 Terminal Equipment (TE);
Videotex processable data
Tis standard and its companion ETSs are based on previous CEPT Recommendations and two of them
(Final draft ETSs 300 073 and 300 074) are CEPT Recommendations proposed as endorsed ETSs
without modification.
For the purposes of this standard, all references within the text to the following T/TE or T/CD numbers
should read (unless otherwise stated) as:
T/TE or T/CD 06-01 = ETS 300 072,
T/TE 06-02 = ETS 300 073,
T/TE 06-03 = ETS 300 074,
T/TE or T/CD 06-04 = ETS 300 075,
T/TE or T/CD 06-05 = ETS 300 076.
1 Introduction
The Terminal Facility Indentifier may be used to ascertain the capabilities of a "terminal", (where a terminal
may actually be a physical terminal or another videotex service). The TFI may be used in three ways:
[1] To determine the terminal profile and additional terminal capabilities;
[2] To determine to which parts of the Service Reference Model (SRM) the terminal
conforms;
[3] To determine whether the terminal can execute a particular Videotex
Persentation Data Element (VPDE).

4 Coding structure
Two VPCEs are used for the TFI: US 2/0 and US 2/1.
5 Coding
To request the terminal profile the code US 2/0 4/0 is transmitted to the terminal.
The terminal will reply with US 2/0 followed by a series of bytes from columns 4 to 7 of the code table
(profiles and capabilities), or by a series of bytes from columns 4 and 5 of the code table, (representing
the parts of the SRM to which the terminal conforms) terminating with the code 4/0 except when the
Escape code (7/15) is used (see section 5.2).
To determine whether the terminal can execute a particular VPDE, the service transmits the code US 2/0
followed by the header of the VPDE and terminated by US 2/1 to the terminal. The terminal replies with
either US 2/0 2/0 indicating it can execute the VPDE or with US 2/0 2/1 indicating it cannot execute the
VPDE.
5.1 Conformance to the SRM
The following codes have been assigned for identifying parts of the SRM.
4/0 Terminator
4/1 Alphamosaic (ETS 300 072)
4/2 Geometric (ETS 300 073)
4/3 Photographic (ETS 300 072)
4/4 Define DRCS (ETS 300 072)
4/5 Define Colour (ETS 300 072)
4/6 Define Format (ETS 300 072)
4/7 Transparent data (ETS 300 074)
4/8 Reset (ETS 300 072)
4/9 Processable Data (ETS 300 075)
4/11 Timing Control (ETS 300 072)
A terminal conforming to parts 1, 4, 5, 6, 8 and 10 would transmit:
US 2/0, 4/1, 4/4, 4/5, 4/6, 4/8, 4/10, 4/0.
If different levels of conformance are defined in the future (as for the Geometric display or Processable
Data) then the level of conformance may be indicated by one or more bytes from column 3 of the code
table following the relevant byte from column 4.
For the Geometric mode (primary byte 4/2) the following sub levels will be defined:
3/0 - 3/7 reserved
3/8 - 3/15 sub-levels to be defined are for further study.
A terminal which conforms to parts 1, 2 (sub-level coded 3/9), 4, 5, 6, 8, and 10 would transmit:
US 2/0, 4/1, 4/2, 3/9, 4/4, 4/5
