SIST EN 301 029-2:2000

SIST EN 301 029-2:2000 is a Slovenian standard published by SIST, adopting ETSI EN 301 029-2 V1.1.2 and the underlying ITU-T Recommendation Q.2722.1 (1996). It covers Broadband Integrated Services Digital Network (B-ISDN) signalling in Signalling System No.7 (SS7), specifically the B-ISDN User Part (B-ISUP) network node interface for point-to-multipoint call/connection control. Engineers, protocol implementers, and test or quality teams use it when they need the interface definition for that signalling function.

What does SIST EN 301 029-2:2000 specify?

SIST EN 301 029-2:2000 specifies the network node interface for point-to-multipoint call/connection control. The foreword places it in a multi-part B-ISUP signalling capability set 2, step 1, so it should be read as one part of a broader signalling family.

The document front matter identifies the standard, records the national transposition dates, gives the endorsement notice, and lists the publication history. That helps users track which edition is in force and how the European text was adopted in Slovenia.

What are the key requirements of SIST EN 301 029-2:2000?

The core technical subject of SIST EN 301 029-2:2000 is the B-ISDN network node interface for point-to-multipoint call/connection control. In practice, this is the signalling reference used when a node has to handle a connection that involves one point and multiple points.

• The standard focuses on the network node interface, not on the whole B-ISDN architecture. In practice, implementers use it for interface behavior between nodes rather than for general service descriptions.
• It belongs to B-ISDN User Part (B-ISUP) signalling capability set 2, step 1. In practice, a project using this part should treat it as one element of a coordinated signalling set.
• The text was approved by ETSI as an EN without modifications to ITU-T Recommendation Q.2722.1 (1996). In practice, the European and ITU-T versions carry the same technical content.
• The foreword links this part with companion parts on traffic parameters, look-ahead, negotiation, modification procedures, ATM end system address, network generated session identifier, and frame relay. In practice, this shows where related signalling functions are covered in the same series.
• Part 8 is withdrawn in the series list. In practice, users mapping the family should ignore that slot and work with the remaining active parts.
• The national transposition dates define the adoption timeline in Slovenia. In practice, this helps with document control, procurement references, and project records.

What terms does SIST EN 301 029-2:2000 define?

• Broadband Integrated Services Digital Network (B-ISDN) - the broadband ISDN environment named in the title.
• B-ISDN User Part (B-ISUP) - the SS7 user part covered by this family of standards.
• Signalling System No.7 (SS7) - the signalling system context in which the B-ISUP operates.
• network node interface (NNI) - the interface between network nodes that Part 2 specifies.
• point-to-multipoint - a call/connection control mode involving one point and multiple points.
• ETSI - the European Telecommunications Standards Institute, which produced the European Standard.
• ITU-T Recommendation Q.2722.1 (1996) - the recommendation whose text is endorsed by this EN.

Who uses SIST EN 301 029-2:2000?

SIST EN 301 029-2:2000 is used by telecom equipment vendors, network operators, signalling protocol designers, and test laboratories working with B-ISDN and SS7. It also supports quality and procurement teams that need a clear reference for the point-to-multipoint call/connection control interface.

The standard is particularly relevant when a project must align network node behavior across implementation, integration, and test activities.

What changed in SIST EN 301 029-2:2000 from the previous edition?

The document history lists V1.1.1 as the public enquiry version and V1.1.2 as the published version. The endorsed EN text was approved without modifications to ITU-T Recommendation Q.2722.1 (1996).

Which standards are used with SIST EN 301 029-2:2000?

The foreword names the other parts of the same B-ISUP capability set 2, step 1 series as the main companion documents.

What does the SIST EN 301 029-2:2000 document contain?

The document contains the standard title pages, copyright and IPR notices, a foreword, national transposition dates, an endorsement notice, and document history. The foreword places Part 2 in the wider B-ISUP capability set 2, step 1 series and names the related parts.

For someone managing a standards library or project file, the front matter gives the identification, adoption trail, and publication record needed to trace the version in use.
