Overview
SIST EN 301 001-4 V1.1.4:2005 specifies the Abstract Test Suite (ATS) and partial Protocol Implementation eXtra Information for Testing (PIXIT) proforma for the user side of Outgoing Call Barring (OCB) supplementary services in Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) environments using the Digital Subscriber Signalling System No. one (DSS1) protocol.
This standard, published by SIST and aligned with EN 301 001-4 by ETSI, provides comprehensive guidelines for protocol conformance and interoperability testing of OCB services at the user interface, supporting consistent implementation and testing across Europe.
Key Topics
- Abstract Test Suite (ATS):
- Defines a remotely administered series of tests based on the Tree and Tabular Combined Notation (TTCN).
- Ensures coverage of the Outgoing Call Barring supplementary service as specified for ISDN DSS1 user-side interfaces.
- Includes both graphical (TTCN.GR) and machine processable (TTCN.MP) forms.
- Partial PIXIT Proforma:
- Supplements the ATS with user-side implementation-specific information critical for effective testing.
- Includes details on protocol options, supported features, and specific values used during conformance assessment.
- Protocol Conformance Test Report (PCTR):
- Provides a template for recording the results and environment of OCB protocol testing in line with international standards.
- Encoding Rules:
- Specifies the use of ASN.1 (Abstract Syntax Notation One) datatypes and encoding rules, particularly BER (Basic Encoding Rules) and direct ISDN encoding.
- Test Methodology:
- Emphasizes remote testing, using specific Points of Control and Observation (PCO) to interact with the Implementation Under Test (IUT).
Applications
- ISDN Equipment Development:
- Vendors and integrators developing ISDN terminal adapters, PBXs, and network equipment use this standard to validate conformance of OCB supplementary services.
- Simplifies product certification and reduces risk of interoperability issues in multi-vendor environments.
- Testing Laboratories:
- Serves as a reference for accredited laboratories performing ISDN conformance testing.
- Ensures test reports (PCTR) and PIXIT documentation are harmonized and comparable.
- Network Operators:
- Helps operators confirm that installed ISDN user equipment meets the mandatory requirements for outgoing call barring, improving security and regulatory compliance.
- International Alignment:
- Facilitates mutual recognition of test results between European markets, promoting cost efficiency and reduced time-to-market for compliant ISDN products.
