2、ion T.611 (Previously “CCITT Recommendation”) FOREWORD The ITU-T (Telecommunication Standardization Sector) is a permanent organ of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). The ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommen- dations on them w

3、ith 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

4、Recommendations by the Members of the ITU-T is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSC Resolution No. i (Helsinki, March 1-12, 1993). ITU-T Recommendation T.611 was revised by ITU-T Study Group 8 (1993-1996) and was approved under the WTSC Resolution No. 1 procedure on the 1 lth of November 1994.

21、alled “APPLUCOM, providing unified access to Telefax Group 3, Telefax Group 4, telex and teletex services. Recommendation T.611 has been revised for clarity and to include E-mail services in general, Message Handling Systems (MHS), as described in the IT-T XAOO-series of Recommendations, in particul

22、ar and File Transfer Services. Special consideration has been taken to assure backwards compatibility with the 1992 version of this Recommendation. iv Recommendation T.611 (11/94) Recommendation T.611 PROGRAMMING COMMUNICATION INTERFACE (PCI) APPLUCOM FOR FACSIMILE GROUP 3, FACSIMILE GROUP 4, TELETE

23、X, TELEX, E-MAIL AND FILE TRANSFER SERVICES (revised 1994) PART I - GENERAL DESCRIPTION 1 Scope This Recommendation defines the Programming Communication Interface (PCI) called “APPLUCOM The general concepts of PCIs are defined in the ITU-T Recommendation F.581 (1992). This PCI provides unified acce

24、ss to different communications services, such as telefax group 3 or other telematic services. This Recommendation currently specifies the access to the following telematic services: - Telefax group 3; - Telefax group 4; - Teletex; - Telex); - E-Mail services; - File transfer services. The principle

25、of this interface is to exchange messages between two entities (i.e. the Local Application and the Communication Application). This Recommendation describes the structure, contents of those messages and the way to exchange them. Two message encoding schemes are defined: text based and binary structu

26、red. Implementing this PCI is not required to participate in a telematic service. However, use of this interface will provide binary compatibility between the above mentioned entities. As a result end-users will benefit from plug-in compatibility between products coming from different manufacturers.

27、 This Recommendation provides a framework for future extensions that keep functionalities consistent and upward compatible. To summarize, this Recommendation forms a high level API (Application Programming Interface) which shields all telecommunication peculiarities but gives powerful control and mo

28、nitoring on the telecommunication activity to the application designers. 2 Definitions and References 2.1 Interface Definitions The following definitions apply to the interface. 2.1.1 communication application (CA); A Communication Application (CA) is provided by hardware and/or software allowing to

29、 participate in standardized telecommunications services. The telecommunications services supported by this Recommendation are listed in clause 1. I) The access to the telex service does not include the dialogue facility. Recommendation T.611 (11/94) 1 ITU-T RECflN*T.bLL 74 = 48b257L 0577837 330 2.1

30、.2 local application (LA): A Local Application (LA) is an application able to generate files or documents and possibly able to manage communications dialogues. Such LAS can be word processors, spread sheets, graphic editors, file editors, etc. The LA shall generate messages conforming to this Recomm

31、endation. 2.1.3 task data description (TDD): A Task Data Description (TDD) describes the structure of the messages exchanged between a LA and a CA (not the way to effectively exchange them). A Request TDD describes an exchange originated by a LA towards a CA. A Response TDD describes an exchange ori

32、ginated by a CA towards a LA. 2.1.4 exchange method (EM): The Exchange Method (EM) describes how the TDDs are exchanged between a CA and a LA. This Recommendation defines a generic Exchange Method which shall be adapted to the target operating system by the means described in this Recommendation. Lo

33、cal area and wide area network environments are supported by the generic Exchange Method. 2.1.5 CA-descriptor: The CA-Descriptor is a collection of information concerning the use of a CA. The CA-Descriptor describes the facilities and features of a given CA so that any LA that uses that CA knows how

34、 to proceed. The CA-Descriptor is a component of the Interface Configuration Environment (ICE). 2.1.6 interface configuration environment (ICE): The Interface Configuration Environment (ICE) is composed of the Master ICE and related CA-Descriptors. The Master ICE lists all CAS that can be reached fr

35、om within a given LA. The aim of the ICE is to assist the LA in the selection of an appropriate CA with respect to the LA requirements. 2.2 File Definitions This Recommendation deals with various kind of files: those interchanged between a LA and a CA and those exchanged through a telecommunications

36、 network. The following definitions are used throughout the body of this Recommendation. 2.2.1 format of these files (Transfer Format) is further defined in this Recommendation. transfer files: As shown in Figure 1 the Transfer Files are those files exchanged between a LA and a CA. The Transfer file

37、s Outgoing file Transmission files Transmitted file Incoming file Received file FIGURE 1.611 The distinct types of files defined by APPLYCOM Telecommunications T0823360-95/601 2 Recommendation T.611 (11/94) ITU-T RECMN*T-bItIt 94 m 4862593 0599820 952 m 2.2.1.1 through a telecommunications network.

38、The format of the file is from one of the possible Transfer Formats. outgoing file: The Outgoing File is a file that the LA transmits to the CA in order to be transmitted by the CA 2.2.1.2 received from the network. The format of the file is from one of the possible Transfer Formats. incoming file:

39、The Incoming File is a file transmitted to the LA by the CA. It generally corresponds to files 2.2.1.3 transfer format: The Transfer Format defines the structure of the Transfer Files. Depending on the telecommunication services used, some Transfer Formats are more suitable than others. The possible

40、 Transfer Formats are defined in clause 8. A Transfer Format is identified by the Convert-ID. The identification and selection of a Transfer Format is further described in 5.4.5. 2.2.2 this. The format of these files, the Transmission Format, is defined intrinsically by the telecommunications servic

41、e used. transmission files: The Transmission Files are files exchanged by a CA through the network. Figure 1 depicts 2.2.2.1 format suitable for exchange by the protocol used in the telecommunications service. transmitted file: The Transmitted File is a file sent by the CA across a telecommunication

42、s network in a 2.2.2.2 telecommunications network in the format used for exchange by the protocol used in the telecommunications service. received file: The Received File is a file built by the CA from information received through the 2.2.2.3 the telecommunications service used. The Transmission For

43、mat is identified by the Type-ID (see 5.4.6). transmission format: The Transmission Format defines the structure of the Transmission Files depending on 2.3 References This Recommendation refers to the following ITU-T Recommendations: - Recommendation F.59, General characteristics of the internationa
