CCITT X.2 L3 Subscription Options


Subscription options are those options which apply to your line on a long term basis.

When requesting a UK line, the customer would normally fill in an application form which allows the customer to choose the options.

This information is entered into the network management computers using a number of 'table build programs'. These 'tables' are then loaded into the network so that the network will operate in accordance with the users requirements.

These options will then continue to remain in force unless overridden by new Table build information. The subscription options cannot be changed directly by the customer.

CCITT have specified a number of subscription options in a standard called X.2. These options are listed in section 3 with information about the degree of support for these features offered in Suppliers equipment.


Subscription Option - On-line facility registration

Description of Option

This facility will be supported on X.25 dial (X.32) lines only.

This facility, if subscribed to, permits the DTE to request registration of facilities or obtain current values of facilities. This is done by means of registration request packets and registration confirmation packets.

For the X.25 dial (X.32), the interface will allow DTE identification, When the X.25 dial (X.32) interface receives a registration request packet carrying the identification information of the DTE, which includes a network username and password, and if it is valid the X.25 dial (X.32) interface will provide the identified DTE service for this switched access link.

This facility is not supported on UK(a).

The following support is provided on UK(b) from release 5:

Z4i - initiating on-line facility registration.. P = Prohibited

Z4r - response to on-line facility registration.. -

Therefore release 4 is compatible with ONA for this option.

Test plan and implementation issues

None - since its not supported.

If it is supported in future releases we would have to work out how to charge for it.
