American Approval of an American National Standard requires verification by ANSI that the
requirements for due process, consensus, and other criteria for approval have
National been met by the standards developer.
Standard Consensus is established when, in the judgment of the ANSI Board of Standards
Review, substantial agreement has been reached by directly and materially
affected interests. Substantial agreement means much more than a simple
majority, but not necessarily unanimity. Consensus requires that all views and
objections be considered, and that a concerted effort be made toward their
resolution.

The use of American National Standards is completely voluntary; their existence

does not in any respect preclude anyone, whether he has approved the
standards or not, from manufacturing, marketing, purchasing, or using products,
processes, or procedures not conforming to the standards.

The American National Standards Institute does not develop standards and will in
no circumstances give an interpretation of any American National Standard.
Moreover, no person shall have the right or authority to issue an interpretationof
an American National Standard in the name of the American National Standards
Institute. Requests for interpretations should be addressed to the secretariat or
sponsor whose name appears on the title page of this standard.

CAUTION NOTICE: This American National Standard may be revised or

withdrawn at any time. The procedures of the American National Standards
Institute require that action be taken periodically to reaffirm, revise, or withdraw
this standard. Purchasers of American National Standards may receive current
information on all standards by calling or writing the American National Standards
Institute.

I S 0 (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the

International Electrotechnical Commission) form the specialized system for
worldwide standardization. National bodies that are members of IS0 or IEC
participate in the development of International Standards through technical
committees established by the respective organization to deal with particular
fields of technical activity. IS0 and IEC technical committees collaborate in
fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with IS0 and IEC, also take part in the work.
In the field of information technology, IS0 and IEC have established a joint
technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1. Draft International Standards adopt-
ed by the joint technical committee are circulated to national bodies for
voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at
least 75% of the national bodies casting a vote.

 Introduction

The purpose of a reference configuration (RC)is to define reference points by means of identifying functional groupings which
interwork at the reference points.

Suitable definitions of functional groupings allow the proper definition of the behaviour and/or performance of such groupings,
merely by referring to the corresponding reference points.

This applies to aspects such as:

- delimitation of areas of responsibility, e.g. for management, operation etc.;

- partitioning and apportioning of performance values;
- numbering:
- termination of signalling protocols;
- etc.

ISO/IEC 11579 will consist of several parts. This part of ISO/IEC 11579 defines the RC for a 64 kbitís-based Private Integrated
Services Network (PISN) exchange (PINX), including a description for. modelling complete PISNs consisting of more than one
PINX. It also forms a component for a RC for high-speed-PISNs (HS-PISN), ¡.e. PENS which may be based on technologies
such as broad-band ISDN, LAN, etc. The particularities for HS-PISN will be specified in other parts of this standard.

In addition to the user-to-ISDN reference configuration specified in C C I r Rec. 1.411 111 which allows the exchanges of a
private integrated services network (PISN) to interwork with a public ISDN in a Concatenation Scenario, ISO/IEC 11579
specifies a reference configuration which allows to specify the functions which apply to the control of connections and calls
between any two exchanges of a given PISN

The concept of this standard is based on the assumption that such inter-PEN-exchange connections are routed through an
intervening network, which can be of any nature from, in the trivial case, a mere physical medium like a piece of wire, up to a
switching network, such as the public ISDN, provided it offers the required capabilities for carrying user and control information
between the PISN exchanges. In the case that the IVN is represented by a public ISDN, the PISN and the public ISDN
interwork in an Overlay Scenario.

For fuFther information on the Concatenationand the Overlay Scenarios see annex B.

In general, inter-PISN-exchangecalls require that any two interconnected PISN exchanges

- can be provided with bearer capabilities between each other, which support and satisfy the requirements as requested by
the users of the PEN; and

- can interchange control information, which allows mutual control of network layer connections, including the control of
supplementary services, if applicable; and

- can interchange management information, enabling management actions with regard to, e.g., the use and supervision of
the user information channels.

Reference point Q has been defined as a conceptual point (e.g. not as a real inteiface) where the exchange of connection
control information between PISN exchanges shall be specified. Reference point C has been defined as an interface point
where the access parameters and procedures and, ifapplicable, the control information between the PISN exchanges and the
intervening network shall be specified.

Annex A shows the various informationflows terminating at the reference points specified in this part of ISO/IEC 11579.

Figure D.l Application of the PINX reference Configuration to a PISN

The PINXc form an arbitrary example of PEN topology. For simplicity, only one terminal has been shown. Pure

plies their multiple use.

For simplicity, figure D.l does not show multiple IVNs be-
tween the various adjacent PINXs, and the figure thus does
also not show the use of multiple instances of C reference
points.

The figure shows that any type of IVN, including public

ISDNc, can be employed for the provision of inter-PINX
connections (overlay scenario). External calls to/from public
ISDNc A and B cross the PISN boundary at T reference
points (concatenation scenario). PINXs which do not pro-
vide interconnection with the public ISDN do not have a
T reference point.
