| 4 | |||
| 5 | Originally specified in 1972, amended in 1976, 1980, 1984 and 1988. |
||
| 6 | |||
| 7 | X.20 defines an asynchronous serial interface consisting of a Transmit and Receive circuit (plus their associated ground/common return). |
||
| 8 | |||
| 9 | The real content of X.20 is how call control is signalled over the serial interface. This is achieved without additional signals by "playing" with continuous-zero and continuous-1 signals on the T and R cirrcuits. |

| 11 | * electrical characteristics can be X.26, X.27 or V.28 |
||
| 12 | * connector: 15-pole ISO 4903 |
||
| 13 | * characters for call control: 7-bit IA5 alphabet with even parity |

| 16 | h2. Call control |
||
| 17 | |||
| 18 | Call control is used to |
||
| 19 | * request outbound calls (and provide status from the network) |
||
| 20 | * indicate inbound calls (and accept or refuse them by the user) |
