1 Scope
This European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) contains the Abstract Test Suite (ATS) specification
for the Data Link Layer (DLL) of the Private Integrated Services Network (PISN), Inter-exchange signalling
protocol.
The objective of the present document is to provide conformance tests which give a high probability of
inter-operability of the Data Link Layer (DLL). The present document covers the procedures described in
ETS 300 402-2 [1] annex ZA.
The ISO standard for the methodology of conformance testing (ISO/IEC 9646-1 [2],
ISO/IEC 9646-2 [3] and ISO/IEC 9646-3 [4]) is used as basis for the test methodology.
The present document is applicable for use in symmetrical application between two Private Integrated
Services Network eXchanges (PINXs)s and is also applicable to equipment when used in certain
scenarios that provide a continuous bit stream channel between two PINXs and will be referenced from
the standards which specifies the scenarios concerned.
ATS specifications for the Network Layer (NL) are provided in other parts of the Private Integrated
Services Network (PISN), Inter-exchange signalling protocol standards.
Annex A provides the Partial PIXIT proforma of this ETS.
Annex B provides the Protocol Conformance Test Report (PCTR) proforma of this ETS.
Annex C provides the Tree and Tabular Combined Notation (TTCN) part of this ETS.

4 Abstract Test Method (ATM)
This clause describes the ATM, which defines the abstract testing architecture applied in the ATS. The
remote test method is the basic method used for DLL conformance testing. However, certain DLL Test
Purposes (TPs) also need part of the NWK functions (e.g. I-frame transmission), consequently the
embedded variant of the remote test method is used.
4.1 DLL protocol testing
The DLL implementations do not offer a direct access to the upper service boundary. The Remote test
method is selected because any co-ordination procedures can only be expressed in an informal way.
LT: A Lower Tester (LT) is located in a remote DLL test system. It controls and
observes the behaviours of the IUT.
PCO: The Point of Control and Observation (PCO) for DLL testing is located on the
PHL Service Access Point (PSAP). All test events at the PCO are specified in
terms of PH-Data Abstract Service Primitives (ASPs) and DLL Protocol Data
Units (PDUs). A single PCO is defined for DLL testing.
notional UT: A notional Upper Tester (UT), i.e. the upper layer (NWK layer) of the System
Under Test (SUT) is invoked to implement the functions of the upper tester
(NWK functions) without any additional mechanism being installed.

4.2 Execution of test cases
4.2.1 Master-Slave testing
Regarding the DLL protocol, the interface is almost symmetrical. The naming and structure of the DLL
ATS were developed for any side testing. To apply the DLL ATS for slave or master side testing, only the
values of the Command/Response (C/R) field have to be reversed. To configure the ATS data for master
side or slave side testing the TSPX_MASTER parameter has to be set as described in table 1.

Page 10
ETS 300 804-2: February 1998
Table 1: Master-Slave parameter
Master Slave
TSPX_MASTER TRUE FALSE
4.2.2 Handling of error indications
During the execution of the DLL ATS many MDL-ERROR-IND primitives will be sent to the system
management due to the invalid and inopportune test cases. It is up to the IUT supplier to take the
necessary precautions to avoid any impact on the test result.
Some tests use NWK procedures to test DLL functions. It is not always possible to handle the NWK
procedures properly. The effects of such faulty NWK messages and procedures are out of the scope of
the DLL ATS. It is up to the IUT supplier to take the necessary precautions to avoid any impact on the test
result.
4.2.3 Test case execution sequence
There is no restriction concerning the execution sequence of the DLL test cases, but to facilitate the
analysis of the test results the execution sequence Valid Behaviour (BV), Inopportune Behaviour (BO),
Invalid Behaviour (BI) should be applied.
4.3 Test step and default step structure
The common dynamic behaviour is described in test steps as shown in figure 2. These can be called from
any test case.

4.3.1 Preambles
The preamble test group contains the preamble test steps needed for initialization of the IUT before
testing a particular test purpose.
PR40_001 To bring the IUT into state 4.0.
PR50_001 To bring the IUT into state 5.0.
PR51_001 To bring the IUT into state 5.1.
PR51_002 To bring the IUT into state 5.1, with one I_Frame in queue and V(S)=V(A).

ETS 300 804-2: February 1998
PR81_001 To bring the IUT into state 8.1.
PR84_001 To bring the IUT into state 8.4.
PR84_002 To bring the IUT into state 8.4, with V(S)=V(A) + 2.
PR85_001 To bring the IUT into state 8.5.
4.3.2 Postambles
The postamble test group contains the postamble test steps needed for termination of the IUT to place it
in the same state after testing each test purpose.
PO40_001 To place the IUT is in state 4.0 at the end of the test.
4.3.3 Check sequence
In tables D-1 to D-3 of ETS 300 402-2 [1], it is possible to identify the state of the IUT. The states 7.2, 7.3,
7.6, 7.7, 8.2, 8.3, 8.6, 8.7 are not checked as it is not possible to bring the IUT into these states. The
states 5.0, 5.1, 5.2, 6.0 are not checked because they are transitional states between state 4.0 and
state 7.0.
CS40_001 To check if the IUT is in state 4.0 at the end of the test.
CS70_001 To check if the IUT is in state 7.0 at the end of the test with RR/P exchange.
CS70_002 To check if the IUT is in state 7.0 at the end of the test with I/P=1 frame out of
sequence.
CS71_001 To check if the IUT is in state 7.1 at the end of the test.
CS71_002 To check if the IUT is in state 7.1 at the end of the test.
CS74_001 To check if the IUT is in state 7.4 at the end of the test.
CS74_002 To check if the IUT is in state 7.4 at the end of the test.
CS75_002 To check if the IUT is in state 7.5 at the end of the test.
CS80_002 To check if the IUT is in state 8.0 at the end of the test.
CS81_002 To check if the IUT is in state 8.1 at the end of the test.
CS84_002 To check if the IUT is in state 8.4 at the end of the test.
CS85_002 To check if the IUT is in state 8.5 at the end of the test.
4.3.4 Defaults
The default subclause describes the behaviour of the tester following the receipt of an unexpected event.
DFLT_001 Sub-tree for TEI-assigned, Awaiting Establishment, Awaiting Release states.
DFLT_002 Sub-tree for Multiple Frame Operation and Timer Recovery states.
4.4 Abstract Service Primitives (ASP) and Protocol Data Units (PDUs)
4.4.1 Abstract Service Primitives (ASP)
Five ASPs are defined:
- PH_DATA_RQ
- PH_DATA_IN
- PH_ACT_RQ
- PH_ACT_IN
- PH_DEACT_IN
The PHysical (PH)-data frame is based on the frame structure described in ETS 300 402-2 [1], clause 2
(and subclauses) and in figure 1/Q.921. It contains the address field, the control field, the information field
if necessary and the Field Code Sequence (FCS) field. The value of the FCS field is usually supplied by
the physical layer of the tester, but for testing of some invalid behaviour it is necessary to change this
value. The flag sequence is supplied by the physical layer of the tester.

Page 12
ETS 300 804-2: February 1998
4.4.2 Protocol Data Units (PDUs)
The PDUs defined are based on the frame types described in ETS 300 402-2 [1], table 5/Q.921.
4.5 Timers and counters of ATS
This clause describes the timers and counters used in the ATS. The "min" and "max" indications define
that the timer value represents the minimum or maximum tolerance of a timer.

4.6 Test strategy
The ATS will rebuild the DLL functions. Therefore the test case variables N(S) and N(R) are implemented
and used according to their functions described in ETS 300 402-2 [1] .
The C/R bit of the address field is implemented as a return value of a test suite operation definition
(i.e. external ATS function), to allow the test suite to be used for master testing as well as for slave testing.
Using the tables D-1 to D-3 of ETS 300 402-2 [1] and to attempt to cover a maximum of test events with
an appropriate number of test cases the following selection criteria have been applied:
- the complete valid value ranges of the state variables V(S) and V(R) and the sequence numbers
N(S) and N(R) are not covered;
- state transitions that are defined by the char
