scope:
This European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) contains the technical characteristics required for end-to-end interworking over the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) of modems supporting:
- half duplex operation over the PSTN at 1 200 bit/s; and/or
- asymmetrical duplex operation over the PSTN at 1 200/75 bit/s
The modulation schemes specified are those described in CCITT Recommendation V.23 [3].
The term "modem" in the context of this ETS includes all physical implementation practices for a voice band modem, which is conductively connected to the PSTN.
This ETS specifies up to four modes of operation/use (see subclause 5.2).
This ETS also contains descriptions of the tests to be performed in order to confirm compliance with the functional requirements contained herein. A general description of the test conditions and test requirements is given in annex A (normative).
NOTE: To aid reading, the term "forward channel" is sometimes used to describe the channel capable of transmitting up to 1 200 bit/s, and the term "backward channel" is similarly used to describe the channel capable of transmitting up to 75 bit/s.
