Foreword
This part of the Working Implementation Agreements was prepared
by the Lower Layers Special Interest Group (LLSIG) of the Open
Systems Environment Implementors' Workshop (OIW). See Part 1 -
Workshop Policies and Procedures in the "Draft Working
Implementation Agreements" for the workshop charter.
Text in this part has been approved by the Plenary of the
Workshop.
Future changes and additions to this version of these Implementor
Agreements will be published as a new part. Deleted and replaced
text will be shown as struck. New and replacement text will be
shown as shaded.

Annex C (informative)
Cross Reference between CCITT and ANSI Text Relating to Frame
Relay Agreements
This annex provides a cross-reference listing between those
sections of the ANSI Standards mentioned in clause 8 of this part
and the sections of the corresponding CCITT Recommendations.
C.1 Physical Layer
ANSI T1.403, which is referenced in 8.3.1 of this part, is
equivalent to sections related to the 1544 kbit/s service in the
combination of CCITT Recommendations G.703 and G.704. Exceptions
to Recommendations G.703 and G.704 are listed below:
CCITT Recommendation G.703
The sections related to the 1544 kbit/s interface in this
Recommendation apply with the following exception:
a) Section 2.5: The current text is replaced by: "The
B8ZS code shall be used because connecting line systems
require suitable signal content to guarantee adequate timing
information."
CCITT Recommendation G.704
The sections related to the 1544 kbit/s interface in this
Recommendation apply with the following exceptions:
a) Section 2.1.3 - Allocation of the F-bit: The current
text is to be replaced by: "Table 1/G.704 which provides the
recommended F-bits allocation;"
b) Table 1/G.704:
1) In the column "For character signal," all instances
of '1-7' are replaced by '1-8' (related bits are: 966,
2124, 3282, and 4440);
2) The column "For signalling" is not applicable;
3) The column "Signalling channel designation" is not
applicable;
4) The note a) below the figure is not applicable as it
pertains to items 2) and 3) above;

Part 2 - Subnetworks March 1994 (Working)
c) Table 2/G.704: The table is not applicable;
d) Section 2.1.3.1.1 - Multiframe alignment signal: The
portion starting with "...as well as to identify..." to the
end of the sentence is not applicable;
e) Section 2.1.3.1.3 - 4 kbit/s data link, (third
paragraph): The entire paragraph is replaced by: "The idle
pattern is the HDLC flag bit pattern (01111110);"
f) Section 2.1.3.2 - Method: twelve-frame multiframe:
This section is not applicable;
g) Section 3.1.2 - Use of 64 kbit/s channel time slots:
This section is not applicable;
h) Section 3.1.3 - Signalling: All sections under 3.1.3
are not applicable;
i) Section 3.2 - Interface at 1544 kbit/s carrying 32
kbit/s channel time slots: All sections under 3.2 are not
applicable;
j) Section 3.3 - Interface at 1544 kbit/s carrying
n*64kbit/s: This section is not applicable.
C.2 Data Transfer
The following table provides the cross-reference between those
sections of the ANS T1.618 Standard referenced in 8.3.2 of this
