scope:

This first part of ETS 300 667 specifies the stage three of the Subaddressing (SUB) supplementary service for the pan-European Broadband Integrated Services Digital Network (B-ISDN) as provided by European public telecommunications operators at the T_B reference point or coincident S_B and T_B reference point (as defined in ITU-T Recommendation I.413 [1]) by means of the Digital Subscriber Signalling System No. two (DSS2) protocol. Stage three identifies the protocol and procedures and switching functions needed to support a telecommunication service (see ITU-T Recommendation I.130 [2]).

In addition, this ETS specifies the protocol requirements at the T_B reference point where the service is provided to the user via a private B-ISDN.

This ETS does not specify the additional protocol requirements where the service is provided to the user via a telecommunications network that is not a B-ISDN.

The SUB supplementary service allows the called (served) user to expand his addressing capacity beyond the one given by the ISDN number.

The SUB supplementary service is applicable to all telecommunication services.

Further parts of this ETS specify the method of testing required to identify conformance to this ETS.

This ETS is applicable to equipment, supporting the SUB supplementary service, to be attached at either side of a T_B reference point or coincident S_B and T_B reference point when used as an access to the public B-ISDN.
