Network If terminals are connected to the public switched telephone network, the relevant CCITT Recommenda- tions, particularly as regards si

11、 measurement of emission and - to transmit and receive standardized texts in order to test the quality of the transmission, - to establish and operate experimental links, - to check protocol process in the course of facsimile transmission. To study international trafic relations. To test facsimile t
12、erminals. To give each telefax subscriber the possibility to exchange texts with the telefax testing centre and thus verify the emission and reception functions of its device. reception level, Directory The Administrations cooperating in the establishment of an international telefax service should b

Quality of service The participating Administrations should guarantee a minimum quality of service. The following aspects have to be considered: - quality of the network and of establ
14、ishment of communications, - operating procedures, - quality of transmission and of facsimile copy reproduction. The national control centres should arrange tests during operational trials to ensure that the above quality requirements are met where international service is introduced. INTERWORKING W
15、lTH OTHER TEXT COMMUNICATION SERVICES The interworking with other text communication services should be the subject of further study. INSTRUCTIONS FOR TELEFAX SUBSCRIBERS Subscribers should be provided with instructions about international telefax operating procedures and be informed about possible
16、parameters (options, facilities of terminals, cooperation with other services, etc.). OPENING OF AN INTERNATIONAL TELEFAX SERVICE Introduction of international telefax service will be possible as soon as the Administrations involved are sure that the conditions specified in this Recommendation have been met.” Edition of September 15, 1989
