SIST EN 300 378-1 V1.2.1:2003 is the Slovenian national adoption of ETSI EN 300 378-1 for Telecommunications Management Network (TMN) fault and performance management at the Access Network (AN). It specifies the Q3 interface between an AN and the TMN for V5 interfaces and the associated user ports, so operators and vendors can manage alarms, performance data and tests in a common way. The standard is for people who design, implement, test or operate access-network management systems.
What does SIST EN 300 378-1 V1.2.1:2003 specify?
SIST EN 300 378-1 V1.2.1:2003 specifies the Q3 interface used to support fault and performance management for V5.1 and V5.2 interfaces and their associated user ports. It focuses on the management information model, the alarm reports, traffic measurement and user-port testing that are relevant to the AN side.
The standard covers the parts of the customer access that are directly related to a V5 interface or the access from the AN to the network termination equipment. It excludes non-V5 transmission, media and services, and it leaves local management of certain V5 messages outside its scope.
| Annex | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Annex A | V5 specific alarm reports and their parameters |
| Annex B | V5 specific traffic measurement |
| Annex C | Requirements and parameters for user port tests |
| Annex D | Test categories |
| Annex E | Task Information Base (TIB) |
| Annex F | Description of management functions |
| Annex G | Test procedures |
| Annex H | Summary of requirements |
| Annex J | State management for line testing in V5 access networks |
| Annex K | Message flows |
What are the key requirements of SIST EN 300 378-1 V1.2.1:2003?
Fault management
The standard defines alarm reporting for V5 interface objects, V5 Ttp objects, V5 time slot objects and user port objects, using the communications alarm notification. In practice, this means the AN must map protocol failures, interface identification problems, data link failures and user-port faults to the defined alarm model in Annex A.
For PSTN, ISDN Basic Access and ISDN Primary Rate Access user ports, the document identifies the fault events to be reported and ties some of them to permanent-line service conditions. This matters because the AN only reports certain layer 1 or layer 2 faults when it is responsible for activation.
Performance monitoring
Clause 5 defines traffic-measurement objects for bearer channel and communication channel data, with current data updated every 15 minutes. For V5.2, bearer channel current data records allocation, holding time and in-service time, while communication channel data covers the communication channels used by the interface.
In practice, this gives the OS a standard place to collect performance information and to log scan results. The document also points to Q.822-based performance handling for ISDN user ports.
Test management
The test fragment in Clause 5 and Annex C define how the AN models line and line-circuit tests, including access test, loop test, electrical measurement test, dialled digit test, dial tone test, ringing, subscriber private meter pulses, test to line circuit, metallic test access and voice access test. Controlled tests are delegated through test action performer objects, so the OS can request a test session and receive test results back.
Annex C also defines scheduling, test-capability reporting, result handling and threshold management. For a buyer or integrator, this is the part that shows what a management system must support if it needs scheduled testing, pass/fail reporting or measured values.
Protocol and object-model structure
Clauses 4, 5, 6 and 7 organize the document around entity relationships, inheritance, naming hierarchies, managed object descriptions, formal class definitions and protocol requirements. The protocol stack is the same as in EN 300 376-1, so implementers can reuse the same Q3 interface approach for configuration and for fault/performance management.
What terms does SIST EN 300 378-1 V1.2.1:2003 define?
- Access Network (AN) - The access part of the network where V5 interfaces and user ports are managed.
- Q3 interface - The TMN management interface used between the AN and the OS.
- V5 interface - The interface between the Local Exchange (LE) and the AN for narrowband access services.
- Operations System (OS) - The management system that sends test requests and receives alarms and performance data.
- Managed Object Referring to Test (MORT) - A managed object that is the target of a test.
- PSTN - Public Switched Telephone Network, used here for PSTN user-port management and testing.
- ISDN BA - ISDN basic access, one of the access types covered by the user-port fragment.
- ISDN PRA - ISDN primary rate access, another user-port type covered by the test and fault model.
Who uses SIST EN 300 378-1 V1.2.1:2003?
Telecommunications operators use this standard to define how their OS interacts with AN equipment for alarms, performance monitoring and line testing. Network-equipment vendors use it when they implement Q3 managed objects, notifications and test actions for V5 access networks.
It is also relevant to maintenance teams, system integrators and quality managers who need to verify that access-network fault handling, scheduled testing and performance reporting follow the same model on both sides of the interface. In practice, it helps them specify what the management system must show, collect and report.
What changed in SIST EN 300 378-1 V1.2.1:2003 from the previous edition?
The scope states that this edition aligns the published I-ETS with the corresponding ITU-T Recommendation.
Which standards are used with SIST EN 300 378-1 V1.2.1:2003?
- EN 300 324-1 and EN 300 347-1 - Define the V5.1 and V5.2 interfaces used as the technical basis for this management model.
- EN 300 376-1 - Defines configuration management for the same Q3 interface and identifies the Q3 interface location.
- EN 300 377-1 and EN 300 379-1 - Provide related Q3 management specifications for Local Exchange customer profiles and V5 fault/performance management.
- ETS 300 233 and ETS 300 297 - Support ISDN primary rate access and ISDN basic access performance-related content.
- ITU-T Recommendations M.3010, M.3100, Q.821, Q.822, Q.831, Q.835, X.721, X.730, X.731, X.732, X.737, X.738, X.739, X.745 and X.746 - Provide the TMN framework, alarm and performance functions, object classes, test management, scan reporting and scheduling used throughout the document.
What does the SIST EN 300 378-1 V1.2.1:2003 document contain?
The document includes entity relationship, inheritance and naming diagrams for the management objects used at the AN. It also contains tables for managed-object attributes and the object classes used for access-port, performance and test management.
Annex A gives the alarm-report parameters and their mappings to V5 events. Annex C and Annex D describe the test requirements, test categories and the parameters needed to request and report line and line-circuit tests.
The informative annexes add implementation guidance, including task information, management functions, test procedures, state management during intrusive testing and message flows.

These interfaces and their associated user ports need to be managed by theOperations Systems (OSs) within the Telecommunications Management Network (TMN). This management isperformed by means of Q3 interfaces.The companion standard on configuration management EN 300 376-1 [6] defines how the Q3 interface of an ANhandles the configuration information for V5 interfaces and their associated user ports. The present document specifiesthe extension to include fault and performance management.Fault management of V5 interfaces and associated user ports is part of a management activity which is performed by theoperator in order to detect failure conditions and to bring the customer access back to its normal state of operationwhenever a deviation occurs.Performance management of V5 interfaces and associated user ports is part of a management activity which is employedin order to maintain the quality of service levels agreed with the customers. The activities undertaken in performancemanagement are monitoring, analysis and problem alerting, diagnosis, optimization and control.A customer access is considered as being that part of the local network which extends from the network terminationequipment up to and including the exchange termination.SIST EN 300 378-1 V1.2.1:2003
ETSIETSI EN 300 378-1 V1.2.1 (1999-10)9Here, only these parts of the activities are covered which are related directly to a V5 interface between a LE and an ANor to that part of the customer access which extends from the AN to the network termination equipment. An ISDNaccess extends to but does not include the T reference point. An analogue access extends to and may include theCustomer Premise Equipment (CPE) (see figure 1).V5Q(LE)Q(AN)ANZTPSTNTETLEV5TPV5TPNT1ISDNTEISDNTEPSTNUPISDNUPISDNUPLL UPTENOTE:Shaded areas are subject to V5 fault and performance management. User ports represent the differentconfigurations for Line Circuit (LC), Line Termination (LT), Exchange Termination (ET) and NetworkTermination (NT) as indicated in EN 300 324-1 [4] and EN 300 347-1 [5]. For leased lines(semi-permanent lines), the present document only covers aspects which are common to PSTNand ISDN.Figure 1: Scope of V5 fault and performance managementThe present document details only those functions and management information model components for which V5specific descriptions are required. However, the use of other components which may be applicable from otherspecifications is not precluded. In this case, combined applications incorporating both V5 specific and more genericaspects would result. For example, if log control is to be provided in conjunction with the V5 specific alarm reportingfunction (see annex A), then other specifications (e.g. ITU-T Recommendation X.735 [35]) are available to define this.The management information model described in the present document complements that for configuration; bothinformation models will normally share the same physical interface.SIST EN 300 378-1 V1.2.1:2003
ETSIETSI EN 300 378-1 V1.2.1 (1999-10)101ScopeThe present document specifies the Q3 interface between an Access Network (AN) and the TelecommunicationsManagement Network (TMN) for the support of fault and performance management functions for V5 interfaces, asdescribed in EN 300 324-1 [4] and EN 300 347-1 [5], and their associated user ports. The management of transmission,media and services which are not related to V5 interfaces is outside the scope of the present document.The present document includes the testing of the lines and line circuits at the user ports associated with the V5 interface,and the logging of faults and related functions. Messages on the V5 interface associated with errors or other faults whichare handled by local management (e.g. the non-deferred link blocking request) or which involve implementation specificissues (e.g. faults which may result in the connection incomplete information element being used in the Bearer ChannelConnection (BCC) protocol) are outside the scope of the present document.The location of the Q3 interface to which the present document refers is specified in EN 300 376-1 [6].The present document does not constrain the logical or physical size of the AN or its geographical dispersion.Existing protocols are used where possible, and the focus of the present document is on defining the object models. Thedefinition of Operations System (OS) functionality is outside the scope of the present document.2ReferencesThe following documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of the presentdocument.· References are either specific (identified by date of publication, edition number, version number, etc.) ornon-specific.· For a specific reference, subsequent revisions do not appl
