Full title and description

Information technology — International Standardized Profiles AVT1n, AVT2n — Virtual Terminal Basic Class — Application Profiles — Part 1: Common VT Protocol Requirements. This document defines common protocol requirements and guidance for profiles of the Virtual Terminal Basic Class and interpretation of those requirements for application profiles AVT1n and AVT2n.

Abstract

Provides guidance on the interpretation of protocol and service requirements for profiles of the Virtual Terminal Basic Class (VT) service and protocol, intended to promote consistent implementation and interoperability of VT application profiles.

Scope

This part (Part 1) sets out the common virtual terminal (VT) protocol requirements that are applicable to the International Standardized Profiles AVT1n and AVT2n. It explains how to interpret those requirements when producing specific application profiles for the Virtual Terminal Basic Class service and protocol, addressing protocol behaviour, message formats and profile-specific constraints necessary for interoperability.

Key topics and requirements

• Definition of common VT protocol requirements for application profiles (AVT1n, AVT2n).
• Guidance for interpreting service and protocol requirements of the Virtual Terminal Basic Class.
• Normative references and required behaviours to ensure consistent implementations.
• Constraints and profile-specific options that implementers must consider for interoperability testing.

Typical use and users

Implementers of OSI Virtual Terminal services and developers of terminal emulation and remote-user-interface products; standards writers and maintainers working on OSI-layered application profiles; interoperability test laboratories and organisations assessing conformance of VT implementations. Users consult this part when deriving or validating specific AVT1n/AVT2n application profiles.

Related standards

Part of the ISO/IEC ISP 11187 series of International Standardized Profiles for AVT1n/AVT2n (other numbered parts cover specific application profiles such as AVT15 and related profiles). Several sibling parts in the 11187 series (for example Part 6 / AVT15) were published in 1996 and share the same subject area and ICS classification.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO/IEC ISP 11187-1:1996 is Part 1 of the International Standardized Profiles for AVT1n and AVT2n, providing common Virtual Terminal (VT) protocol requirements and interpretation guidance for application profiles.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers the common protocol requirements and interpretation notes applicable when creating or implementing VT application profiles (AVT1n/AVT2n), including required behaviours, constraints and normative references to ensure consistent interoperable implementations.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Developers of terminal emulators and VT implementations, standards authors, and interoperability test organisations use it when developing, validating or testing application profiles based on the Virtual Terminal Basic Class.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: This part is withdrawn (the published 1996 edition is no longer active). Records indicate the standard was withdrawn from sales/maintenance (withdrawal noted in catalogue entries and national bodies). Consult current ISO catalogues or national standards bodies for any replacement documents or successor profiles.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it is one part of the ISO/IEC ISP 11187 series (multiple parts cover various AVT application profiles and related protocol requirements), intended to be used together where appropriate for full profile definitions.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Virtual Terminal, AVT1n, AVT2n, application profile, protocol requirements, ISO/IEC, interoperability.
