SIST EN 300 207-6 V1.2.3:2003 is the SIST version of the ETSI standard for the ISDN Diversion supplementary services on the DSS1 protocol. It specifies the network-side Abstract Test Suite (ATS) and partial Protocol Implementation eXtra Information for Testing (PIXIT) proforma for implementations at the T reference point or coincident S and T reference point. Test laboratories, test realizers and suppliers of network equipment use it to prepare and run conformance tests for the CDIV and SCF parts of the service.
What does SIST EN 300 207-6 V1.2.3:2003 specify?
SIST EN 300 207-6 V1.2.3:2003 specifies the test specification for the network side of EN 300 207-1. It focuses on the DSS1 protocol behavior of Diversion supplementary services and the information needed to prepare testing.
The document is organized into scope, references, definitions and abbreviations, abstract test method, ATS conventions, ATS-to-TP mapping, conformance rules, and required test configurations. The annexes provide the report template, the partial PIXIT proforma, and the ATS.
| Annex | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Annex A | Protocol Conformance Test Report (PCTR) proforma |
| Annex B | Partial PIXIT proforma |
| Annex C | Abstract Test Suite (ATS) |
The document contains two ATSs. One covers CDIV for Call Forward Busy, Call Forward Unconditional, Call Forward No Response and Call Deflection. The other covers SCF for Selective Call Forward Busy, Selective Call Forward Unconditional and Selective Call Forward No Response.
What are the key requirements of SIST EN 300 207-6 V1.2.3:2003?
SIST EN 300 207-6 V1.2.3:2003 requires different test methods for the two ATSs, and it ties conformance to the test structures in Annex C and the reporting forms in Annexes A and B. In practice, this tells a test house how to set up the tester, what to declare in the PIXIT, and how to record results.
Test method depends on the service part
Clause 4 uses a multi-party test method for the CDIV network-side ATS. The MTC controls the PTCs through Co-ordination Messages, and the verdicts are assigned by the MTC. Clause 4 uses a remote test method for the SCF network-side ATS, with a lower PCO named L between layers 2 and 3. In practice, CDIV tests need simulated activity on several user interfaces, while SCF tests observe behavior through one service access point.
The ATSs are divided by service function
Clause 1 says the CDIV ATS covers the call diversion services, while the SCF ATS covers the selective call forwarding services. Common protocol parts are covered by the CDIV ATS. This separation matters because a lab may only need one ATS, or it may need both to cover the full service set.
TTCN and ASN.1 are used with specific encoding rules
Clause 6 states that the ATS uses the TTCN version defined in TR 101 101. It also explains how ASN.1 is used for data types, constraints and remote operation components. The default encoding for ASN.1 constraint tables is ISDN direct encoding, while BER is used only where the table comments say so; ASN.1 types of class Component use BER. In practice, an ETS must encode each item the same way the ATS expects, or the verdicts will not match.
There are no untestable test purposes
Clause 5 states that there are no untestable test purposes associated with these ATSs. That means the test purposes in the suite are intended to be executable and assessable.
Conformance is tied to the ATS, PCTR and PIXIT proformas
Clauses 8, 9 and 10 require conformance with ISO/IEC 9646 and the proformas in Annexes A and B. A conforming ETS must contain test groups and test cases technically equivalent to at least one ATS in Annex C. A lab that claims conformance must use an MOT that conforms to the ATS, and the PCTR must follow Annex A. In practice, this makes the test documentation part of the conformance outcome, not just the test execution.
SCF testing depends on declared configurations
Clause 11 lists the SCF test configurations by subscription option, number of screening lists, and special conditions. The PIXIT parameters identify which configurations are supported, and unsupported test cases are deselected. This matters because an implementation may support only some service combinations, and the tester must declare the actual configuration before running the suite.
What terms does SIST EN 300 207-6 V1.2.3:2003 define?
- ATS - Abstract Test Suite, the defined collection of abstract test cases used for conformance testing.
- PIXIT - Protocol Implementation eXtra Information for Testing, the implementation-specific information needed to set up the tests.
- PCTR - Protocol Conformance Test Report, the report form used to record the conformance assessment.
- IUT - Implementation Under Test, the network or equipment being tested.
- MTC - Main Test Component, the control component that coordinates the multi-party CDIV tests.
- PTC - Parallel Test Component, a helper component used in the multi-party test method.
- PCO - Point of Control and Observation, the place where the tester controls and observes behavior.
- SCF - Selective Call Forwarding, the selective forwarding service family covered by one of the ATSs.
Who uses SIST EN 300 207-6 V1.2.3:2003?
SIST EN 300 207-6 V1.2.3:2003 is used by conformance test laboratories, test realizers, and equipment suppliers who need to prove or check DSS1 behavior for network-side diversion services. It is also used by clients commissioning a test campaign, because Annex A and Annex B define the report and setup information they need to provide. In practice, the document supports design verification, interoperability preparation, and formal protocol conformance testing.
What changed in SIST EN 300 207-6 V1.2.3:2003 from the previous edition?
SIST EN 300 207-6 V1.2.3:2003 replaces ETS 300 207-6 V1.2.2.
Which standards are used with SIST EN 300 207-6 V1.2.3:2003?
- EN 300 207-1 - the protocol specification for Diversion supplementary services.
- EN 300 207-2 - the PICS proforma specification.
- EN 300 207-5 - the network-side TSS & TP specification related to this ATS.
- EN 300 196-1 - the generic functional protocol specification that supplies ASN.1 definitions used in this document.
- ETS 300 196-2 - the related PICS proforma specification for the generic functional protocol.
- EN 300 403-1 - the DSS1 signalling network layer specification for circuit-mode basic call control.
- EN 300 403-3 - the PICS proforma for that basic call control part.
- EN 300 097-1 - the COLP supplementary service protocol specification.
- ISO/IEC 9646 - the conformance testing framework used for ATS, PCTR and PIXIT rules.
- TR 101 101 - the TTCN version used for the ATS.
- ISO/IEC 8825-1 - the BER, CER and DER encoding rules used where BER is specified.
What does the SIST EN 300 207-6 V1.2.3:2003 document contain?
Annex A gives the PCTR proforma with sections for identification, IUT status, static and dynamic conformance summaries, and campaign reporting for CDIV and SCF. Annex B gives the partial PIXIT proforma with configuration questions, test laboratory data, SUT details, protocol information, parameter values, timer values, state events and interactions. Annex C provides the ATS in TTCN.GR and TTCN.MP form, with the files named for the CDIV and SCF parts. The main clauses also explain the test method, encoding conventions and how to map test purposes to test cases.
