SIST EN 301 068-2 V1.2.1:2003 is the Slovenian adoption of ETSI EN 301 068-2 for Broadband Integrated Services Digital Network (B-ISDN) Digital Subscriber Signalling System No. two (DSS2). It provides the Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS) proforma for connection characteristics, specifically ATM transfer capability and traffic parameter indication, so a supplier can declare exactly which protocol capabilities an implementation supports. It is written for suppliers, implementers, and conformance testers of user and network equipment.
What does SIST EN 301 068-2 V1.2.1:2003 specify?
SIST EN 301 068-2 V1.2.1:2003 specifies the PICS proforma for the protocol defined in EN 301 068-1. In practice, it is the questionnaire a supplier completes to describe an implementation in a standard way for conformance assessment.
The document is organized into a short main body and two annexes.
| Annex | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Annex A | Normative PICS proforma for EN 301 068-1, including instructions, identification fields, roles, capabilities, PDUs, parameters, timers, and call states |
| Annex B | Informative bibliography |
Clause 2 lists the normative references, clause 3 defines the key terms and abbreviations, and clause 4 states the conformance rule for completed PICS forms.
What are the key requirements of SIST EN 301 068-2 V1.2.1:2003?
SIST EN 301 068-2 V1.2.1:2003 requires a supplier claiming conformance to complete the PICS proforma in Annex A and identify the implementation, the system under test, and a contact person. That matters because the completed form is the official record of what the implementation supports.
Conformance and completion rules
Clause 4 says the completed PICS must be technically equivalent to the Annex A proforma and must preserve the numbering, naming, and order of the items. This keeps different suppliers’ declarations comparable.
Annex A.1 explains how to answer the tables using the status codes m, o, n/a, x, and conditional forms such as c:o and c:m. In practice, the supplier must mark each item consistently so a test lab can read the support claim unambiguously.
Roles to declare
Table A.1 requires the supplier to choose exactly one major role: user role or network role. That choice matters because the rest of the form only applies to the selected side of the connection.
Capabilities to declare
Tables A.2 and A.8 ask whether the implementation supports the main ATM transfer capabilities: DBR, SBR, ABR, and ABT. They also break SBR and ABT into specific variants such as SBR1, SBR2-like, SBR3-like, ABT-IT, and ABT-DT, so the declaration matches the exact behavior implemented.
Backward compatibility and tagging
Tables A.3 and A.9 ask whether the implementation recognizes additional Broadband bearer capability codepoints for backward compatibility with CBR and VBR, and whether it can handle traffic management options for local support of tagging. In practice, these items show whether the implementation can interwork with older coding and whether it supports the local tagging behavior used for SBR.
PDU and parameter support
Tables A.4 to A.7 and A.10 to A.13 cover information elements in CONNECT and SETUP messages, including ABR setup parameters, ATM traffic descriptor, and minimum acceptable ATM traffic descriptor. These tables make the supplier state not only whether the message is supported, but also whether received and sent parameters are supported in the right call conditions.
What terms does SIST EN 301 068-2 V1.2.1:2003 define?
- Implementation Conformance Statement (ICS) - a statement by the supplier that identifies which capabilities an implementation supports.
- ICS proforma - a questionnaire form that becomes an ICS when completed for a specific implementation.
- Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS) - an ICS for an implementation claimed to conform to a given protocol specification.
- Implementation Under Test (IUT) - the implementation being checked against the specification.
- System Under Test (SUT) - the whole system that contains the IUT.
- Protocol Data Unit (PDU) - the protocol message unit used in the conformance tables.
- ATM transfer capability (ATC) - the connection capability category used throughout the tables, including DBR, SBR, ABR, and ABT.
Who uses SIST EN 301 068-2 V1.2.1:2003?
Suppliers of B-ISDN DSS2 implementations use SIST EN 301 068-2 V1.2.1:2003 to prepare a formal conformance statement. Equipment developers and QA teams use it to document supported roles, capabilities, and message elements before testing.
Conformance test labs and engineering teams use it together with EN 301 068-1 and the related testing parts to check whether a user or network implementation claims the right options and parameters. That makes it useful for interoperability work and for comparing features between implementations.
What changed in SIST EN 301 068-2 V1.2.1:2003 from the previous edition?
SIST EN 301 068-2 V1.2.1:2003 is described as a revised PICS for the revised protocol. The document history shows earlier publication versions and this V1.2.1 edition.
Which standards are used with SIST EN 301 068-2 V1.2.1:2003?
The PICS proforma is based on EN 301 068-1, which defines the protocol being described. Clause 2 also cites ISO/IEC 9646-1 and ISO/IEC 9646-7 for conformance testing concepts and ICS notation, ETS 300 406 for the testing methodology, EN 300 443-1 and EN 300 771-1 for the basic point-to-point and point-to-multipoint call/bearer control protocols, and ITU-T recommendations Q.2961.1, Q.2961.2, Q.2961.3, Q.2961.4, Q.2961.6, I.371, and Q.2931 for the traffic and bearer capability features referenced in the tables.
What does the SIST EN 301 068-2 V1.2.1:2003 document contain?
Annex A contains the full PICS questionnaire structure, with guidance for completion, identification of the implementation and protocol, a global conformance statement, and separate tables for user and network roles. The tables cover major capabilities, subsidiary capabilities, PDUs, received and sent information elements, timers, and call states.
The tables are built for conformance work, not for defining new protocol behavior. They tell the supplier what to declare, where to declare it, and how to show support for ABR, ABT, SBR, and related message fields in a standardized form.
