Global modifications to ITU-T Recommendations Q.781 and Q.782
Insert the following two clauses (scope and normative references):
Scope
This European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) defines a set of detailed tests of the Signalling System
No.7 Message Transfer Part (MTP) level 2 and level 3 protocol. These tests intend to validate the protocol
specified in ETS 300 008-1 [1].
This ETS conforms to ITU-T Recommendation Q.780 [2] which describes the basic rules of the test
specifications, however, it contains additional general principles specific to level 2 and level 3 tests,
respectively.
Normative references
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.

TEST DESCRIPTION
1. Generate an MSU at A.
2. Instead of sending positive acknowledgement, set and keep PO at B for at least 1,2 s.
3. Check A stops a retransmission of the MSU and sends FISUs, and does not detect link failure by the expiration of T7.
4. Cease PO after at least 1,2 s and send an MSU with no positive acknowledgement at B.
5. Check A flushed its buffer and no old MSU is sent.
6. Generate an MSU at B.
7. Check A receives the MSU and responds correctly.
