Full title and description
Information technology — Telecommunications and information exchange between systems — Private integrated services network — Part 2: Reference configuration for HS‑PISN Exchanges (HS‑PINX). This International Standard defines a reference configuration for high‑speed private integrated services network exchanges (HS‑PINX) and guidance for interconnection of those exchanges to form high‑speed private integrated services networks (HS‑PISN).
Abstract
This part of ISO/IEC 11579 specifies a conceptual reference configuration (RC) for HS‑PINX, identifying functional groupings and reference points to guide specification of PINX capabilities without mandating particular implementations. It addresses interconnection of multiple HS‑PINXs to form HS‑PISNs and supports a range of high‑speed applications (for example LAN, MAN, B‑ISDN). Annexes provide illustrative examples and conversion function examples.

Scope
The standard specifies a reference configuration for high‑speed private integrated services network exchanges (HS‑PINX) and their interconnection to form HS‑PISNs. It defines functional groupings and reference points to be used as guidance for specifying HS PINX capabilities; it is intentionally non‑prescriptive about specific implementations. The RC is applicable to support a variety of HS applications (e.g., LAN, MAN, B‑ISDN) and complements the more generic material in ISO/IEC 11579‑1.
Key topics and requirements
- Definition of a conceptual HS‑PINX reference configuration (RC) and identification of reference points and functional groupings.
- Guidance for interconnection of HS‑PINXs to form HS‑PISNs (high‑speed private integrated services networks).
- Support requirements for high‑speed applications including LAN, MAN and B‑ISDN.
- Informative annexes with illustrative examples of applying the PINX RC to HS environments and examples of conversion functions.
- Non‑prescriptive approach — the standard provides guidance but does not mandate implementation details.
Typical use and users
Primary users are telecommunications and network equipment designers, system architects and integrators working on private integrated services networks, as well as standards committees and test laboratories. The document is used when specifying exchange capabilities, defining interconnection scenarios for high‑speed private networks, or mapping services between HS environments. It is also a reference for technical procurement and conformance discussions in vendor and operator contexts.

Q: What does it cover?
A: It covers the conceptual structure (functional groupings and reference points) of HS‑PINX nodes, guidance for interconnecting multiple HS‑PINXs into HS‑PISNs, and informative examples showing application and conversion functions. It does not mandate specific implementations.
Q: Who typically uses it?
A: Network architects, equipment vendors, system integrators, standards developers and technical procurement teams working with private integrated services networks and high‑speed exchange/interconnect scenarios.
