Terminal Equipment (TE); Programming Communication Interface (PCI) APPLI/COM for Facsimile Group 3@ Facsimile Group 4@ Teletex and Telex Services Part 2: Conformance Testing
This ETS 2nd part of describes the conformance testing of APPLI/COM Programmable Communication Interfaces (PCIs) that claim conformance to ETS 300 243-1 [1]@ which in turn endorses CCITT Recommendation T.611 [2]@ with certain ETSI modifications. The aim of this Part of the ETS is to define conformance tests and methods which ensure@ when applied@ that: - a conforming implementation of a Local Application (LA) can work together with a conforming implementation of a Communication Application (CA). The LA can coexist@ access and communicate with the CA from within the Terminal Equipment (TE) of the LA; - a conforming implementation of a CA offers and carries out the functionality and features declared and covered by one of the functional classes defined by CCITT Recommendation T.611 [2]. The intention of this Part of the ETS is to test one LA to one CA relation. When many LAs are present within the same TE@ many LAs to one CA relation@ testing of the LAs need to handle one LA at a time. To ensure conformance in the case of a many LA to one CA relationship@ test cases are provided exclusively for testing the CA conformance with respect to multiple LAs. When many CAs are accessible from within the same TE@ the testing of the CAs needs to be carried out one CA at a time. No special test cases are provided for the case of multiple CAs in the same equipment.
