Foreword
This European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) has been produced by the Business
TeleCommunications (BTC) Technical Committee of the European Telecommunications Standards
Institute (ETSI).
This ETS resulted from a mandate from the Commission of the European Community (CEC) to provide
harmonised standards for the support of the Directive on Open Network Provision (ONP) of leased lines
(92/44/EEC).
There are two other standards directly related to this ETS:
ETS 300 451: "Business TeleCommunications (BTC); Ordinary quality voice bandwidth 4-wire
analogue leased line (A4O); Connection characteristics and network interface
presentation".
ETS 300 452: "Business TeleCommunications (BTC); Special quality voice bandwidth 4-wire
analogue leased line (A4S); Connection characteristics and network interface
presentation".
This ETS is based on information from ITU-T Recommendations and ETSI publications and the relevant
documents are quoted where appropriate.
Transposition dates
Date of adoption of this ETS: 2 February 1996
Date of latest announcement of this ETS (doa): 31 May 1996
Date of latest publication of new National Standard
or endorsement of this ETS (dop/e): 30 November 1996
Date of withdrawal of any conflicting National Standard (dow): 30 November 1996
Introduction
The Council Directive on the application of ONP to leased lines (92/44/EEC), concerns the harmonization
of conditions for open and efficient access to, and use of, the leased lines provided over public
telecommunications networks and the availability throughout the European Union (EU) of a minimum set
of leased lines with harmonised technical characteristics.
The consequence of the Directive is that telecommunications organisations within the EU shall make
available a set of leased lines within and between points in these countries with specified connection
characteristics and specified interfaces.
Two classes of standard will be used for the interfaces of terminal equipment designed for connection to
the ONP leased lines. ETSs, which are voluntary, give the full technical specifications for these interfaces,
whereas Technical Basis for Regulations (TBRs) give the essential requirements under the Second Phase
Directive (91/263/EEC) for attachment to the leased lines. This standard, which is an ETS, belongs to the
first category. The TBR (TBR 17) is a subset of this corresponding ETS.
CCITT Recommendations M.1020 (1988) and M.1040 (1988) are used as the basis for the leased line
standards to which this terminal equipment interface relates.

1 Scope
This European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) specifies the full physical and electrical characteristics
and corresponding test principles for a terminal equipment interface for connection to the network
termination points of Open Network Provision (ONP) ordinary quality or special quality voice bandwidth
4-wire analogue leased lines defined by ETS 300 451 and ETS 300 452. This ETS is not written for
regulatory purposes.
This ETS is written only to ensure that the interface of the terminal equipment is compatible with the ONP
ordinary quality or special quality voice bandwidth 4-wire analogue leased line. It is applicable to all
interfaces designed for connection to these leased lines, however in the cases of apparatus that carries a
particular service, of complex apparatus and of apparatus in private networks, other ETSs may apply in
addition to this ETS.
Customer premises wiring and installation between the terminal equipment and the Network Termination
Point (NTP) are outside the scope of this ETS.
2 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.
[1] EN 28877 (1989): "Information processing systems - Interface connector and
contact assignments for ISDN basic access interface located at reference points
S and T".
[2] EN 60950 (1992): "Safety of information technology equipment including
electrical business equipment".
[3] ITU-T Recommendation P.56 (1993): "Objective measurement of active speech
level".
[4] ITU-T Recommendation P.64 (1993): "Determination of sensitivity/frequency
characteristics of local telephone systems".
NOTE: This ETS also contains a number of informative references which have been included
to indicate the sources from which material has been derived, hence they do not have
an associated normative reference number. Details of these publications are given in
the annex B. In some cases the same publication may have been referenced in both a
normative and an informative manner.

4 Requirements
4.1 Physical characteristics
Requirement: The terminal equipment shall provide one or more of the following connection methods:
a) an 8-contact plug of the type specified in EN 28877 [1] with contact assignments as specified in
table 1;
b) a set of connection contacts (e.g. an insulation displacement connector or screw terminal block) to
which solid conductors with diameters in the range 0,4 to 0,6 mm may be connected;
c) a wiring arrangement connected by any means to the terminal equipment, with unterminated solid
wire conductors with diameters in the range 0,4 to 0,6 mm at the distant end from the terminal
equipment.
Where a) and c) are provided, these may be detachable by the user such that only one is connected to the
terminal equipment at any time.
NOTE: The normal presentation of the leased line is by means of a socket.

Test: There shall be a visual inspection that one or more of the connection methods are provided. The
contact assignments and connection methods are tested indirectly through the tests in annex A.
4.2 Electrical characteristics
The requirements of subclause 4.2 apply only in the intended operating state of the terminal equipment.
4.2.1 Return loss
Requirement: The return loss of the impedance of the input and output ports of the terminal equipment
interface with respect to the reference impedance, in the frequency range 200 Hz to 4 000 Hz, shall be
greater than or equal to 8 dB throughout the range when tested using a stimulus signal at a voltage
equivalent to that of a signal power of -13 dBm at 1 020 Hz.
Test: The test shall be conducted according to subclause A.2.1.
4.2.2 Longitudinal conversion loss
Requirement: The longitudinal conversion loss of the input and output ports of the terminal equipment
interface shall be greater than or equal to the values given in table 2 and figure 2.
NOTE: The longitudinal conversion loss specifies the unwanted transverse signal detected by
the terminal equipment when a longitudinal signal is applied equally to the terminals of
the interface. Certain networks may have high longitudinal signal levels (e.g. 65 V root
mean square (rms)); in this case, a higher longitudinal conversion loss may be
necessary to ensure adequate operation of the terminal equipment.

4.2.3 Transmission signals
The source and nature of the output signal from the terminal equipment interface can be classified in
several different ways thus dividing the terminal equipments into several non-exclusive categories. One
type of terminal equipment may therefore need to be treated as a member of more than one of the
categories. For the purposes of this ETS the general categories requiring identification are defined as
follows:
a) any terminal equipment where the output signal is derived in real time from an integral
acoustic interface. See subclause 4.2.3.1;
b) any terminal equipment where the output signal is generated electrically within the terminal
equipment. See subclause 4.2.3.2;
c) any through connecting terminal equipment where the output signal is derived from another
electrical interface. See subclause 4.2.3.3.
NOTE: Terminal equipments may belong to more than one category. A telephone may be in
both category a) for telephony and category b) for the generation of Dual Tone Multi-
Frequency (DTMF) tones. A function for generating synthetic or recorded speech or
music, such as is found in answering machines or voice mail, is included in
category b).
4.2.3.1 Equipment with an acoustic input
4.2.3.1.1 Sending Loudness Rating (SLR)
Requirement: The minimum SLR of the terminal equipment, when terminated with the reference
impedance Z , shall be greater than or equal to -1 dB.
R

SIST ETS 300 453 E1:2004
Page 11
ETS 300 453: February 1996
NOTE: The minimum SLR value of -1 dB refers to the actual measured value rather than the
nominal value, i.e. there is no tolerance on the specified value, and has been specified
to ensure no harm to the network. It is recommended that for normal operation, the
SLR should be greater than or equal to +2 dB.
Test: The test shall be conducted according to subclause A.2.3.
4.2.3.2 Equipment with internally generated electrical signals
4.2.3.2.1 Maximum mean power
Requirement: The mean power level in the frequency range 200 Hz to 3 800 Hz in any one minute period
shall be not greater than -13 dBm when the terminal equipment interface is terminated with the reference
impedance Z .
R
Test: The test shall be conducted according to subclause A.2.4.
4.2.3.2.2 Maximum instantaneous power (peak voltage)
The maximum instantaneous power is expressed in terms of the peak voltage.
Requirement: The peak voltage from the terminal equipment interface shall not be greater than 1,1 volts
over the frequency range 200 Hz to 3 800 Hz when the terminal equipment interface is terminated with the
reference impedance Z .
R
Test: The test shall be conducted according to subclause A.2.5.
4.2.3.2.3 Maximum power in a 10 Hz bandwidth
Requirement: The maximum power within a 10 Hz bandwidth centred at any frequency within the
frequency band 0 Hz to 4 300 Hz, and wholly contained within that frequency band, shall not exceed the
limits given in table 3 and figure 3 when the terminal equipment interface is terminated with the reference
impedance Z .
R
Exceptionally, when sending DTMF tones, the maximum power in a 10 Hz bandwidth between the
frequencies 1 200 Hz and 1 700 Hz shall not exceed -7 dBm.
NOTE: Generally, DTMF tones will have a duty cycle of 50 % or less.
