SIST EN 301 067-3 V1.2.1:2003 is the Slovenian adoption of the ETSI European Standard for Broadband Integrated Services Digital Network (B-ISDN) Digital Subscriber Signalling System No. two (DSS2). It specifies the Test Suite Structure and Test Purposes (TSS&TP) for connection characteristics negotiation during call/connection establishment, for the user side at the TB or coincident SB/TB reference point.
What does SIST EN 301 067-3 V1.2.1:2003 specify?
SIST EN 301 067-3 V1.2.1:2003 specifies conformance test purposes for the user side of EN 301 067-1. It is written for implementations at the TB reference point, or at the coincident SB and TB reference point, and it is part of a multi-part test specification for DSS2 connection negotiation.
The document is organized into clauses on scope, references, definitions and abbreviations, test suite structure, test purposes, compliance, and requirements for a comprehensive testing service. It also states that a further part of the overall testing work provides the Abstract Test Suite (ATS) and partial Protocol Implementation eXtra Information for Testing (PIXIT) proforma based on this part.
What are the key requirements of SIST EN 301 067-3 V1.2.1:2003?
SIST EN 301 067-3 V1.2.1:2003 turns the protocol specification into named test purposes that can be selected for conformance testing. The most important points are the test grouping, the TP naming rules, the call-state checks, and the expected message handling for traffic parameter negotiation.
- Clause 4 groups the tests by signalling procedure: negotiation request, negotiation acceptance, traffic parameter negotiation procedures, and negotiation confirmation. This matters because it follows the actual call flow an implementer has to support.
- Clause 5.1 defines the TP naming convention. Each TP identifier combines the suite identifier, the group, and a sequential number, which gives test cases a clear traceable name.
- Clause 5.1.3 says the TPs are based on EN 301 067-1 and the PICS specification EN 301 067-2, and are limited to externally observable behaviour. In practice, that means the tests check what the equipment sends, receives, and states, not how it is built internally.
- Clause 5.1.4 uses final call-state verification through STATUS ENQUIRY and STATUS exchange. This matters because many tests do not end with one message exchange alone - they also check that the implementation has reached the right call state.
- Clause 5.2 covers negotiation at the origination interface. The user side is expected to initiate negotiation from U0 with SETUP, using either the alternative ATM traffic descriptor or the minimum acceptable ATM traffic descriptor, and then move through the expected call states.
- Clause 5.2.1.2 covers the destination interface. Depending on whether the traffic parameters are acceptable, unacceptable, or conditionally acceptable, the implementation may proceed with CALL PROCEEDING, ALERTING or CONNECT, or reject with RELEASE COMPLETE and the stated cause handling. This is the core of what a tester must observe in real behaviour.
- Clause 6 says a compliant ATS must cover all testable TPs, use the defined TSS subset and naming convention, keep the PICS-to-test relationship, and follow ISO/IEC 9646-2. For a lab, that means the ATS must stay aligned with the selected implementation options.
- Clause 7 says the Remote test method is the minimum for an organization claiming to provide a comprehensive testing service for equipment conforming to EN 301 067-1. That matters when setting up a test service or certification workflow.
What terms does SIST EN 301 067-3 V1.2.1:2003 define?
- Abstract Test Method (ATM) - the conformance testing method used to make some test purposes executable or not executable in a given test setup.
- Abstract Test Suite (ATS) - the set of abstract test cases used for conformance testing.
- Implementation Under Test (IUT) - the implementation being checked against the standard.
- Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS) - the statement used to select which tests apply to a particular implementation.
- Protocol Implementation eXtra Information for Testing (PIXIT) - extra implementation information needed to run the tests correctly.
- Test Purpose (TP) - a single test objective that states what behaviour the IUT must show.
- user(TB) - the DSS2 protocol entity on the user side of the user-network interface where a TB reference point applies.
Who uses SIST EN 301 067-3 V1.2.1:2003?
SIST EN 301 067-3 V1.2.1:2003 is used by conformance test laboratories, equipment manufacturers, and organizations that assess DSS2 user-side implementations against EN 301 067-1. It is also useful for quality managers and buyers who need to check that a product will be tested against the correct call-signalling and traffic-negotiation behaviour.
What changed in SIST EN 301 067-3 V1.2.1:2003 from the previous edition?
The scope says this edition aligns edition 1 with the TSS&TP specification in Part 3 and corrects other possible errors based on contributions. The document history also shows earlier and later publication entries for the same version family.
Which standards are used with SIST EN 301 067-3 V1.2.1:2003?
The document uses EN 301 067-1 for the protocol specification and EN 301 067-2 for the PICS proforma. It also references ISO/IEC 9646-1 and ISO/IEC 9646-2 for conformance testing methodology, ITU-T I.413 for the B-ISDN user-network interface, ETS 300406 for test methodology, EN 300443-1 for related B-ISDN layer 3 and call-state procedures, and ITU-T Q.2962 for the connection-characteristics negotiation function.
The foreword also places this part in a six-part series:
- Part 1 - protocol specification
- Part 2 - PICS proforma
- Part 3 - TSS&TP specification for the user
- Part 4 - ATS and PIXIT proforma for the user
- Part 5 - TSS&TP specification for the network
- Part 6 - ATS and PIXIT proforma for the network
What does the SIST EN 301 067-3 V1.2.1:2003 document contain?
Clause 4 gives the test suite structure, and Figure 1 shows how the user-side test groups fit together. Clause 5 contains the detailed test purposes, including the TP naming convention in Table 1 and the message-and-state sequences for negotiation request, acceptance, traffic parameter negotiation, and confirmation.
The test purposes use the main DSS2 messages and information elements involved in call establishment, including SETUP, CONNECT, CONNECT ACKNOWLEDGE, RELEASE COMPLETE, STATUS, and STATUS ENQUIRY. They also focus on the ATM traffic descriptor, the minimum acceptable ATM traffic descriptor, and the alternative ATM traffic descriptor, which are the elements a tester must monitor during negotiation.
