Source ITU-T Recommendation F.18 was revised by ITU-T Study Group 2 (1997-2000) and was approved under the WTSC Resolution No. 1 procedure on the 9th of March 1998. Recommendation F.18 (03/98) 1

8、FOREWORD IT (International Telecommunication Union) is the United Nations Specialized Agency in the field of telecommuni- cations. 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

9、 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 Recommendat

10、ions 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-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with IS0 and IEC.

11、NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS The ITU draws attention to the possibility that the practice or implementation of this Recommendati

12、on 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 approv

13、al of this Recommendation, the ITU 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 TS

Annex A Harmonization of international public bureau services - Detailed guidelines A.1 Introduction This annex represents a more detailed approach for possible solutions for a harmonization of bureau services, taking into account the differe

33、nt situations in the various countries. Different steps or phases seem to be necessary and/or possible to introduce improvements in the area of bureau services. 2 Recommendation F.18 (03/98) STD-ITU-T RECMN F-18-ENGL 1998 W 4862573 Ob47373 394 A number of problems/solutions depend on national organi

34、zationlstructure of bureau services. The following subclauses propose arrangements where facsimile transmission is used to carry telegrams nationally and/or internationally. Specific operational provisions applying to facsimile transmissions can be found in Recommendations F.l, Part E, and F. 170. I

35、f specific provisions do not exist in Recommendation F.l, a number of problems could be solved by bilateral agreements. A.2 Possible solutions for a harmonization of bureau services A.2.1 The harmonization of both services could start nationally simply by common use of telegram and bureaufax facilit

36、ies. No technical changes are necessary. Possible first approach (Domestic telegram and bureaufax services; see Figure A.l) The way this services are named, charged and marketed is a national matter. National innovation should not be restrained. Which organization (postal authority, telecommunicatio

37、n ROA, etc.) operates any bureau service is also a national matter. At this stage, at the international interface, a clear distinction should be made between telegrams and bureaufax. Internationally the character-coded telegram service could be replaced by a fax-based bureau service. Where suitable

38、replacements exist, the international telegram will gradually disappear. Abolition in low-volume relations should be encouraged. This stage could be characterised by: - - - - The existing technical facilities will be used further, only necessary improvements will be implemented. The transmission via

39、 facsimile will be preferred. Reasonable access to the national service for the input of messages will be provided. Domestic messages handed in over the counter will be transmitted via facsimile to the appropriate public bureau. Messages can contain written matter or printed matter, drawings or any

40、other graphics. Telegrams and bureaufax for abroad will be transmitted, by the accepting public bureau, to the appropriate national gateway for further transmiscion (character-coded or image-coded). Where agreed, the office of origin may route telegrams directly to a telefax subscriber in another co

41、untry - - A.2.2 Possible next step (International telegram and bureaufax service; see Figure A.2) All aspects under A.2.1 should be considered. The domestic Telegram Retransmission System will be improved (character-codedimage-coded interface to a fax store-and-forward system). Direct transmission a

42、nd delivery to fax machines nationwide and abroad will be possible. By bilateral agreement it becomes possible to transmit (F.l) telegrams from the ongin country to a public bureau abroad by fax. The character set (ITA2) used for telegrams remains unchanged. Direct international transmission via poi

43、nt-to-point (p.t.p.) and gentex will no longer be the sole means of international transmission. Some countries may need to continue an F.1-type service nationally for longer. In this case a gateway to the international bureaufax service would facilitate these international transmission. Recommendati

45、ation of bureaux services The number of fax machines in public bureaux will be increased, gentex transmission to teleprinters (domestic) will be substituted by facsimile transmission. Advantages: Cost reduction (fax machines and transmission over the pubic telephone network is cheaper than the costs

46、 of teleprinters and the use of the national gentex network). The handling of messages takes less time (no word count necessary, easy transmission by facsimile etc.). in the absence of new international accounting provisions, accounting could be solved by bilateral agreements. A.2.3 Possible second

47、approach (International telegram and bureaufax services; see Figure A.3) All aspects under A.2.1 and A.2.2 should be considered. implementation of a domestic fax store-and-forward-system with automatic routing capabilities and centralised accounting and statistics. In addition, where bilaterally agr

48、eed, the form accepted from the originator can be transmitted by facsimile internationally. Where agreed, characters outside ITA2 may be used. The treatment of such messages, including international accounting, can be agreed bilaterally. A.2.4 Possible final solution; see Figure A.4 The aim is to re

49、place the classical telegram transmission technique completely by another transport mechanism. 4 Recommendation F.18 (03/98) STDIITU-T RECMN F.38-ENGL 1778 4862573 Ob47175 Lb7 1 Fax A.3 Routing and retransmission of messages (Selection modes) - Messenger charactercoded and/or National It should be noted that the choice of international transmission mode is not necessarily the same in each direction. For ? National gateway example, in any international relation it may be agreed that facsimile be used in one direction and printing telegraph in the other.
