SIST ETS 300 323-2 E1:2003

SIST ETS 300 323-2 E1:2003 is the Slovenian standard identical to ETS 300 323-2 Edition 1, issued by ETSI for the DECT Public Access Profile (PAP). It specifies the Portable radio Termination (PT) Abstract Test Suite (ATS) used to check DECT PAP conformance, including the tests needed for TBR 11 and for voluntary conformance testing. The document is written for manufacturers and test laboratories that need a formal, tool-based test suite for PT implementations.

What does SIST ETS 300 323-2 E1:2003 specify?

SIST ETS 300 323-2 E1:2003 specifies the PT ATS for the DECT PAP test specification. It covers protocol tests in TTCN form and non-protocol, real-effects tests described in natural language.

The document is organized into three main clauses and three annexes. The foreword also places it in a seven-part PAP test specification series.

What are the key requirements of SIST ETS 300 323-2 E1:2003?

SIST ETS 300 323-2 E1:2003 defines a formal test suite that can be turned into an executable suite with commonly available tools. In practice, that means the document is meant to be used as a test specification, not as a product description.

• Scope - The PT ATS is based on the DECT PAP and ISO 9646. This matters because the test cases follow a recognized conformance-testing framework and are aligned with the DECT profile.
• Coverage - The ATS includes the tests required for TBR 11 and the tests for voluntary conformance testing, covering all PAP features. In practice, users should expect both mandatory and optional feature coverage.
• Protocol test structure - Protocol tests are written as TTCN tables with an overview section, declarations section, constraints section and dynamic behaviour section. This gives laboratories a structured way to generate and run protocol checks.
• Non-protocol tests - Real-effects tests are described in natural language, and the real-effects procedures are contained in ETS 300 323-1 Annex C. This tells the reader that some checks are procedural rather than table-driven.
• PICS proforma - The Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS) proforma lists mandatory, optional and conditional features, procedure elements, parameters, options, timers, multi-layer dependencies and other capabilities. A manufacturer completes it to show which static conformance points are implemented.
• PIXIT proforma - The Protocol Implementation eXtra Information for Testing (PIXIT) proforma collects feature invocation methods, real timer values and identities. The test laboratory uses this information to configure and execute the tests correctly.
• Normative forms - Annex A is the normative TTCN GR and Annex B is the normative MP file. That means both the paper form and the machine-readable form are part of the official test suite.
• Test method - The tests use the Remote Single Layer Embedded test method. For users, this defines the general way the PT is exercised during conformance testing.

What terms does SIST ETS 300 323-2 E1:2003 define?

SIST ETS 300 323-2 E1:2003 points readers to ETS 300 323-1 for the complete list of definitions, symbols and abbreviations, and it uses these key terms throughout.

• DECT - Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications, the cordless telecommunications system covered by the standard.
• PAP - Public Access Profile, the DECT profile for which this test specification is written.
• PT - Portable radio Termination, the DECT equipment under test in this part.
• ATS - Abstract Test Suite, the formal set of tests that can be converted into executable form.
• TTCN - Tree and Tabular Combined Notation, the notation used for the protocol test cases.
• PICS - Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement, the checklist used to state what the implementation supports.
• PIXIT - Protocol Implementation eXtra Information for Testing, the supplementary information the laboratory needs before testing.
• GR - Graphical Representation, the paper-oriented TTCN form included in Annex A.
• MP - Machine Processable, the electronic TTCN file form named in Annex B.

Who uses SIST ETS 300 323-2 E1:2003?

SIST ETS 300 323-2 E1:2003 is used by manufacturers of DECT PAP PT equipment, test laboratories, and conformance testers. It is also relevant to quality and compliance teams that need to document which PAP features are implemented and how they will be verified.

In practice, manufacturers use it to prepare PICS and PIXIT information, while laboratories use it to run protocol and real-effects conformance testing. Buyers and technical approvers can use it to understand what kind of PT verification a supplier is claiming.

Which standards are used with SIST ETS 300 323-2 E1:2003?

SIST ETS 300 323-2 E1:2003 cites the following companion standards and references:

• ISO/IEC 9646-1, -2, -3 and -6 - the OSI conformance testing framework, ATS specification, TTCN notation, and protocol profile test specification basis for the test suite.
• ETS 300 323-1 - the overview part of the PAP test specification, including the real-effects test procedures referenced by this part.
• ETS 300 323-3 - the PT PICS proforma.
• ETS 300 323-4 - the PT PIXIT proforma.
• ETS 300 323-5 - the FT Abstract Test Suite.
• ETS 300 323-6 - the FT PICS proforma.
• ETS 300 323-7 - the FT PIXIT proforma.
• ETS 300 175-1 to ETS 300 175-9 - the DECT Common Interface parts, with part 9 defining the Public access profile used by this test specification.

What does the SIST ETS 300 323-2 E1:2003 document contain?

SIST ETS 300 323-2 E1:2003 contains the formal PT test suite in TTCN Graphical Representation and the corresponding machine-processable TTCN file. Annex A divides the GR into overview, declarations, constraints and dynamics sections, which is the structure used to express the protocol tests. Annex B identifies the complete MP file, DE103232.mp.

The body of the document also sets out the scope, the normative references, and the definitions reference. In practical use, the document supports test generation, conformance checking, and laboratory execution of the DECT PAP PT test cases.
