Foreword
This European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) has been produced by the Business
TeleCommunications (BTC) Technical Committee of the European Telecommunications Standards
Institute (ETSI).
This ETS resulted from a mandate from the Commission of the European Community (CEC) to provide
harmonized standards for support of the Directive on Open Network Provision (ONP) of leased lines
(92/44/EEC).
There are two other standards directly related to this ETS:
- ETS 300 418: "Business TeleCommunications (BTC); 2 048 kbit/s digital unstructured and
structured leased lines (D2048U and D2048S); Network interface presentation";
- ETS 300 420: "Business TeleCommunications (BTC); 2 048 kbit/s digital structured leased line
(D2048S); Terminal equipment interface".
This ETS is based on information from ITU-T Recommendations and ETSI publications and the relevant
documents are quoted where appropriate.
Transposition dates
Date of adoption of this ETS 17 November 1995
Date of latest announcement of this ETS (doa): 28 February 1996
Date of latest publication of new National Standard 31 August 1996
or endorsement of this ETS (dop/e):
Date of withdrawal of any conflicting National Standard (dow): 31 August 1996
Introduction
The Council Directive on the application of ONP to leased lines (92/44/EEC) concerns the harmonization
of conditions for open and efficient access to, and use of, the leased lines provided over public
telecommunications networks, and the availability throughout the European Union (EU) of a minimum set
of leased lines with harmonized technical characteristics.
The consequence of the Directive is that telecommunications organizations within the EU shall make
available a set of leased lines between points in these countries with specified connection characteristics
and specified interfaces. Under the Second Phase Directive (91/263/EEC), terminal equipment for
connection to these leased lines will be required to fulfil certain essential requirements.
CCITT Recommendation I.340 for Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) connection types is used as
a basis for the connection characteristics. ETS 300 167 and CCITT Recommendations G.704 and G.706
are used as the basis for the structure.

1 Scope
This ETS specifies the technical requirements and test principles for connection characteristics of Open
Network Provision (ONP) 2 048 kbit/s digital structured leased lines. The leased line operates at
2 048 kbit/s and provides an information transmission capability, without restriction on binary content, of
1 984 kbit/s. The remaining 64 kbit/s provides a 8 kHz framing structure in accordance with ETS 300 167
and CCITT Recommendations G.704 and G.706.
A connection is presented via interfaces at Network Termination Points (NTPs) and includes any
equipment that may provide the NTP. Signals between terminal equipments are subject to impairments
during their transfer over the connection. The limits to these impairments are stated in this ETS. Together
with the companion standard, ETS 300 418 defining the network interface presentation, this ETS
describes the technical characteristics of the leased line service offered to the user.
The tests specified in this ETS cannot be carried out by the leased line provider, while the leased line is in
service, i.e. carrying users' traffic. Thus the tests are designed for bringing into and returning into service,
although there is no obligation to perform these tests each time a leased line is brought into or returned
into service. However, because the connection is structured, the error performance may be monitored by
the leased line provider while the line is in service.
This ETS is applicable for leased lines, including part time leased lines, for which the establishment or
release does not require any protocol exchange or other intervention at the NTP.
This ETS specifies the compliance tests for the connection requirements. This ETS does not include
details concerning the implementation of the tests, nor does it include information on any relevant
regulations.
2 Normative references
This ETS incorporates by dated or 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 into it by amendment or revision. For undated references the
latest edition of the publication referred to applies.

to indicate the sources from which various material has been derived, hence they do
not have an associated normative reference number. Details of these publications are
given in annex E. In some cases the same publication may have been referenced in
both a normative and an informative manner.

3 Definitions and abbreviations
3.1 Definitions
For the purposes of this ETS, the following definitions apply:
Background Block Error (BBE): An errored block not occurring as part of a Severely Errored Second
(SES).
BBE ratio: The ratio of errored blocks to total blocks during a fixed measurement interval excluding all
blocks during severely errored seconds and while the leased line connection is in the unavailable state
(see ITU-T Recommendation G.826).
block: A set of 2 048 consecutive bits equivalent to one Sub-MultiFrame (SMF). Each block is monitored
by means of a Cyclic Redundancy Check-4 bit (CRC-4) error check. The length of each block
corresponds to a period of 1 ms.
NOTE: This definition is relevant only to this ETS and is more specific than the generic
definition given in ITU-T Recommendation G.826.
controlled slip: The irretrievable loss or gain of a set of consecutive digit positions in a digital signal, in
which both the magnitude and instant of that loss or gain are controlled, to enable the signal to accord with
a rate different from its own.
errored block: A block in which one or more bits are in error (see ITU-T Recommendation G.826).
Errored Second (ES): A one-second period with one or more errored blocks (see ITU-T
Recommendation G.826).
ES ratio: The ratio of ES to total seconds during a fixed measurement interval. The ES ratio is not
evaluated while the leased line connection is in the unavailable state (see ITU-T Recommendation G.826).
errored Sub-MultiFrame: A Sub-MultiFrame (SMF) where the calculated CRC-4 does not correspond
with the CRC-4 contained within the next SMF (see subclause B.2.2).
frame: A sequence of 256 bits of which the first 8 bits define the frame structure (see annex B).
frame slip: A slip of one complete frame.
leased lines: The telecommunications facilities provided by a public telecommunications network that
provide defined transmission characteristics between NTPs and that do not include switching functions
that the user can control, (e.g. on-demand switching).
multiframe: A sequence of two SMFs containing the multiframe alignment word (see annex B).
Network Termination Point (NTP): All physical connections and their technical access specifications
which form part of the public telecommunications network and are necessary for access to, and efficient
communication through, that public network.
9
PRBS(2 -1): A Pseudo Random Bit Sequence (PRBS) (as defined in subclause 2.1 of CCITT
Recommendation O.153 [2]).
15
PRBS(2 -1): A PRBS (as defined in subclause 2.1 of CCITT Recommendation O.151 [1]).
S bits: Bits 4 to 8 (bits S to S ) in frames not containing the frame alignment signal (see annex B).
a4 a8
a
satellite transmission: A transmission via an earth orbiting satellite.
severely disturbed period: For out-of-service measurements, a severely disturbed period occurs when,
over a period of time equivalent to four contiguous blocks, either all the contiguous blocks are affected by
-2
a high bit error density of = 10 , or a loss of signal is observed. For in-service monitoring purposes, a
severely disturbed period is estimated by the occurrence of loss of signal or loss of frame alignment (see
ITU-T Recommendation G.826).

ETS 300 419: November 1995
Severely Errored Second (SES): A one-second period which contains = 805 errored blocks or at least
one severely disturbed period (see ITU-T Recommendation G.826).
SES ratio: The ratio of SES to total seconds during a fixed measurement interval. The SES ratio is not
evaluated while the leased line connection is in the unavailable state (see ITU-T Recommendation G.826).
Sub-MultiFrame (SMF): A sequence of 8 frames, each of 256 bits, over which the CRC-4 is calculated
(see annex B).
uncontrolled slip: The loss or gain of a digit position or a set of consecutive digit positions in a digital
signal, resulting from an aberration of the timing processes associated with transmission or switching of a
digital signal, and in which either the magnitude or the instant of that loss or gain is not controlled.
unavailability period: An unavailability period begins at the onset of 10 consecutive SES. These 10
seconds are considered to be part of the unavailability period. The unavailability period ends at the onset
of 10 consecutive non-SES. These 10 seconds are not considered part of the unavailability period.
unavailable state: The leased line connection is in the unavailable state if an unavailability period is
occurring in one or both directions of transmission.

4 Requirements
The performance of the leased line shall comply with these requirements only if the conditions of supply of
the network equipment providing the NTP are met, (e.g. if the equipment is connected to an appropriate
power supply on the customer's premises).
The ITU-T attribute technique is used to express the connection requirements. The following attributes
from ITU-T Recommendation I.140 are specified in this ETS:
- Transfer rate;
- Information transfer susceptance;
- Structure;
- Establishment of connection;
- Symmetry;
- Connection configuration;
- Network performance.
The following network performance sub-attributes are considered relevant for this ETS:
- Transmission delay;
- Jitter;
- Slip;
- Error.

4.1.1 Transfer rate
4.1.1.1 Leased line timing
Requirement: The leased line shall either:
a) carry user timing within the range 2 048 kbit/s ± 50 parts per million (ppm); or
b) provide timing that is synchronous to the network timing; or
c) take user timing within the range 2 048 kbit/s ± 50 ppm from one input and provide this timing at
both outputs of the leased line.
NOTE 1: In case b), network timing is timing that is derived from the source or sources of timing
that are used for the network. Thus the timing provided by the leased line will be
similar to that provided by other digital services.
NOTE 2: When the timing in both directions is not synchronous, the number of transmitted
E-bits differs from the number of received SMFs. As a consequence, either some valid
E-bits are lost or meaningless E-bits are inserted.
Test: There is no specific test; the leased line provider shall declare which type of timing the leased line
provides and this shall be taken into account during the subsequent tests defined in annex A.
4.1.1.2 Information transfer rate
Requirement: The connection shall be capable of transferring a nominal information rate of 1 984 kbit/s
which is contained within the frame structure defined for the leased line (see subclause 4.1.3).
Test: The test shall be conducted according to subclause A.2.1.
4.1.2 Information transfer susceptance
Requirement: The connection shall be capable of transferring digital information with bit sequence
integrity, and without restriction on binary content, at the nominal rate of 1 984 kbit/s within the defined
frame structure (see subclause 4.1.3).
Test: The test shall be conducted according to subclause A.2.1.

ETS 300 419: November 1995
4.1.3 Structure
The purpose of the structure is to allow the leased line provider to monitor the error performance of the
leased lines from NTP to NTP. The CRC-4 is, therefore, not necessarily transmitted transparently from
NTP to NTP; it may be updated by the leased line provider to determine the location of errors. In order to
allow the terminal equipment to monitor the integrity of the path between the terminal equipment and the
NTP, the NTP is required to provide a correct CRC-4, and to respond correctly with the E-bits in the event
of an incorrectly received CRC-4.
Requirement: For each direction of transmission, the leased line shall accept an input bit stream with a
frame and multiframe structure as defined in annex B. When the leased line input has the above frame
structure and the connection is not in the unavailable state, the output of the leased line shall also conform
to the frame and multiframe structure defined in annex B, with the structure having the same relationship
to the information transferred as at the input, maintaining the frame structure integrity.
Test: The test shall be conducted according to subclauses A.2.1 and A.2.5.1.
4.1.3.1 CRC-4
Requirement: At each NTP, the CRC-4 bits transmitted in the output bit stream shall be as defined in
tables B.1 and B.2 for a complete CRC-4 multiframe and shall correspond to the data transmitted at the
output of the leased line interface, (i.e. the CRC-4 shall be recalculated in the equipment providing the
NTP).
Test: The test shall be conducted according to subclause A.2.5.1.
4.1.3.2 Use of the E-bits
Requirement: At each NTP, the E-bits transmitted in the output bit stream shall indicate errored SMFs in
the input bit stream at that NTP. One E-bit in each multiframe shall be set to binary ZERO for each errored
SMF received in the input bit stream. The E-bits corresponding to non-errored SMFs shall be set to binary
ONE. Any delay between the detection of an errored SMF and the setting of the E-bit that indicates the
errored SMF shall be less than 1 second.
NOTE: The intention is that the CRC-4 verification, and the associated generation of the
E-bits, will be performed in the equipment that provides the NTP in order to indicate
only those errors that have occurred between the terminal equipment and the NTP and
not those errors that have occurred within the network.
Test: The test shall be conducted according to subclause A.2.5.2.
4.1.3.3 Frame synchronization and data transmission capability
Requirement: The leased line shall continue to transparently transmit data in the event of receiving one
or two consecutive incorrect frame alignment signals. On receipt of:
- three consecutive incorrect frame alignment signals; or
- there being = 915 errored SMFs out of 1 000 SMFs,
the leased line shall consider frame alignment to have been lost and initiate a search for frame alignment
during which time the leased line may cease transparent transmission of data.
NOTE: Some implementations may also consider frame alignment to have been lost in the
event that bit 2 in frames not containing the frame alignment signal is in error on three
consecutive occasions. This situation is unlikely to occur except in the event of high
error rates between the terminal equipment and the NTP.
Frame alignment shall not be considered as having been regained until:
a) for the first time, the presence of the correct frame alignment signal; and
b) the absence of the frame alignment signal in the following frame detected by verifying that bit 2 of
the basic frame is a binary ONE; and
c) for the second time, the presence of the correct frame alignment signal in the next frame,
