PREPUBLISHED  RECOMMENDATION

This text is a non-edited version of a recently approved Recommendation. It shall be replaced by the final version after edition. Consequently, some discrepancies may appear between this text and its final edited form.


FOREWORD

ITU (International Telecommunication Union) is the United Nations Specialized Agency in the field of telecommunications. The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of the ITU. The ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis.

The World Telecommunication Standardization Conference (WTSC), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T Study Groups which, in their turn, produce Recommendations on these topics.

The approval of Recommendations by the Members of the ITU-T is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSC Resolution No. 1.

In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-T’s purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC.

NOTE

In this Recommendation the term recognized operating agency (ROA) includes any individual, company, corporation or governmental organization that operates a public correspondence service. The terms Administration, ROA and public correspondence are defined in the Constitution of the ITU (Geneva, 1992).

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

The ITU draws attention to the possibility that the practice or implementation of this Recommendation may involve the use of a claimed Intellectual Property Right. The ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of claimed Intellectual Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU members or others outside of the Recommendation development process.

As of the date of approval of this Recommendation, the ITU had/had not received notice of intellectual property, protected by patents, which may be required to implement this Recommendation. However, implementors are cautioned that this may not represent the latest information and are therefore strongly urged to consult the TSB patent database.

ITU-T  RECOMMENDATION  Q.764

signalling system no. 7 – isdn user part signalling procedures

Summary

This Recommendation describes the ISDN User Part signalling procedures of the set-up and clear down of national and international ISDN connections used for "ISUP'2000". Actions common for all types of exchanges are described only once. Different or additional actions required in an exchange are specified in a separate subclause applicable to that type of exchange. The procedures specified in clause 2 relate to basic call (i.e. calls not involving supplementary services and IN).

Recommendation Q.764

signalling system no. 7 – isdn user part signalling procedures

(revised in 2000)

1           General

1.1        Scope

This Recommendation describes the ISDN User Part signalling procedures for the set-up and clear down of national and international ISDN connections. Actions common for all types of exchanges are described only once. Different or additional actions required in an exchange are specified in a separate subclause applicable to that type of exchange.

The procedures specified in clause 2 relate to basic call (i.e. calls not involving supplementary services).

Recommendation Q.761 [18] provides an overview of the signalling capabilities of the complete ISDN User Part (both basic and supplementary services).

NOTE – In international operation the use of en bloc or overlap signalling is based on bilateral agreements.
