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
harmonized standards for the support of the Directive on Open Network Provision (ONP) of leased lines
(92/44/EEC).
In the case of the unstructured leased line, this ETS is intended to supersede ETS 300 246.
There are four other standards directly related to this ETS:
- ETS 300 247: "Open Network Provision (ONP) technical requirements; 2 048 kbit/s digital
unstructured leased line (D2048U); Connection characteristics";
- ETS 300 248: "Open Network Provision (ONP) technical requirements; 2 048 kbit/s digital
unstructured leased line (D2048U); Terminal equipment interface";
- ETS 300 419: "Business TeleCommunications (BTC); 2 048 kbit/s digital structured leased line
(D2048S); Connection characteristics";
- ETS 300 420: "Business TeleCommunications (BTC); 2 048 kbit/s digital structured leased line
(D2048S); Terminal equipment interface".
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 17 November 1995
Date of latest announcement of this ETS (doa): 28 February 1996
Date of latest publication of new National Standard 31 August 1996
or endorsement of this ETS (dop/e):
Date of withdrawal of any conflicting National Standard (dow): 31 August 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 harmonized technical characteristics.
The consequence of the Directive is that telecommunications organizations within the EU shall make
available a set of leased lines between points in these countries with specified connection characteristics
and specified interfaces. Under the Second Phase Directive (91/263/EEC), terminal equipment for
connection to these leased lines will be required to fulfil certain essential requirements.
ETS 300 166 and CCITT Recommendation G.703 are used as the basis for the network interface
presentation requirements.

1 Scope
This ETS specifies the technical requirements and test principles for the network interface presentations
of ONP 2 048 kbit/s digital leased lines using 120 Ω interfaces. This includes:
- the 2 048 kbit/s digital unstructured leased line; and
- the 2 048 kbit/s digital structured leased line with an information transfer rate of 1 984 kbit/s without
restriction on binary content.
A connection is presented via interfaces at Network Termination Points (NTP). This ETS defines the
network interface as presented by the leased line provider and should be used in conjunction with the
appropriate companion standard, ETS 300 247 or ETS 300 419, specifying the connection characteristics
between the NTPs of the leased line. This ETS and the appropriate connection characteristics standard
together describe the technical characteristics of the leased line.
This ETS is applicable to leased lines, including part time leased lines, for which the establishment or
release do not require any protocol exchange or other intervention at the NTP.
This ETS covers the physical, mechanical and electrical characteristics of the network interface and
specifies the conformance tests for equipment of the kind that provides the interface presentation. Some
of the tests described in this ETS are not designed to be applied to the interface of an installed leased line;
such tests may be applied to equipment of the kind used to provide the interface. This ETS does not
include details concerning the implementation of the tests nor does it include information on any
regulations concerning testing. There is no requirement for each leased line to be tested in accordance
with this ETS before it is brought into, or returned into, service.
2 Normative references
This ETS incorporates by dated or 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 into it by amendment or revision. For undated references the
latest edition of the publication referred to applies.

equipment, between any accessible part and the equipment protective earthing terminal does not exceed
a safe value (subclause 1.2.8.5 of EN 60950 [3]).
terminal equipment: Equipment intended to be connected to the public telecommunications network, i.e.:
- to be connected directly to the termination of a public telecommunication network; or
- to interwork with a public telecommunications network being connected directly or indirectly to the
termination of a public telecommunications network,
in order to send, process, or receive information.

4 Requirements
These requirements define the network interface presentation for:
- the 2 048 kbit/s digital unstructured leased line (D2048U) which provides a bidirectional
point-to-point digital connection with a usable bit rate of 2 048 kbit/s where timing is not provided
from the network. The provision of circuit timing is the responsibility of the user. No structuring of
the data is provided, or shall be required, by the network and any structuring is the responsibility of
the user; and
- the 2 048 kbit/s digital structured leased line (D2048S) which provides a bidirectional point-to-point
digital connection with an information transfer rate of 1 984 kbit/s without restriction on binary
content. The frame structure in the 2 048 kbit/s bit stream is defined in ETS 300 419. Any
structuring of the data within the transparent 1 984 kbit/s part of the frame is the responsibility of the
user.
NOTE 1: The network interface is not designed for power feeding.
NOTE 2: If equipment providing the interface requires a mains supply, the leased line provider
should bring this to the attention of the user so that the user can provide mains supply
back-up facilities, if required.
4.1 Physical characteristics
The connection arrangements provided by the leased line interface shall be suitable for hardwired
connection (see subclause 4.1.1); however, with the agreement of the user, an alternative means of
connection, using a socket, may be provided (see subclause 4.1.2).
The transmit pair is the output from the network interface. The receive pair is the input to the network
interface, as shown in figure 1. Where the terms "output" and "input" are used without qualification in this
ETS, they refer to the network interface.

The use on the terminal equipment side of the interface of shielded cables may be necessary to meet
radiation and immunity requirements defined in ElectroMagnetic Compatibility (EMC) standards. Therefore
the NTP is required to provide a point for connection of the shield (see subclause 4.1.3).
4.1.1 Hardwired connection
Requirement: Where the leased line is being presented as a hardwired connection, the leased line
interface shall provide a means of terminating wire with solid conductors having diameters in the range 0,4
mm to 0,6 mm. The leased line provider shall provide information on the configuration of the means of
connection.
Test: There is no test. All subsequent tests are carried out via the specified connection method.
4.1.2 Socket specification
There is no constraint on the type of socket that may be used under this ETS.

---------------------- Page: 11 ----------------------

SIST ETS 300 418:1999
Page 10
ETS 300 418: November 1995
NOTE: The intention is to specify the same socket as is specified for Integrated Services
Digital Network (ISDN) primary rate access; however this approach is not practicable
at present since connectors conforming to ISO/IEC 10173 are not available. A
requirement to use the ISDN primary rate socket may be added to this ETS when such
connectors are readily available.
4.1.3 Shield connection point
Requirement: The NTP shall provide a point, or points, to which the shield, or shields, of the cable on the
terminal side of the interface can be connected.
NOTE: The purpose of these points is to provide a path from the shield to a common
reference. The common reference point does not necessarily have to be earthed.
Test: There shall be a visual inspection that a point, or points, for connection of the shield, or shields, is
provided.
4.2 Electrical characteristics
4.2.1 Output port
4.2.1.1 Signal coding
Requirement: The signal transmitted at the output port shall comply with the High Density Bipolar code of
order 3 (HDB3) encoding rules (see annex B).
Test: The test shall be according to subclause A.2.1.
4.2.1.2 Waveform shape
Requirement: The pulse at the output port shall comply with the requirements given in table 1 and
figure 2, based on CCITT Recommendation G.703.
Table 1: Waveform shape at output port
Pulse shape (nominally rectangular) All marks of a valid signal shall conform

Test: The test shall be according to subclause A.2.2.
4.2.1.3 Output timing under failure conditions
Requirement: When there is a failure within the network and if a signal is presented at the interface
output (e.g. an Alarm Indication Signal (AIS)), the output timing shall be 2 048 kbit/s ± 50 parts per million
(ppm).
NOTE: AIS is encoded as a continuous stream of binary ONEs. It is used to indicate a loss of
capability in the direction from the network to the user. When an AIS signal is
transmitted by the network interface, its timing may:
- not be derived from network timing in the case where the leased line should be
providing network timing; or
- not be the timing provided by the user at the far end where the leased line
should be carrying user timing.
Test: The test shall be according to subclause A.2.7.
