network I-TKN, as is, on the: «ther hand, a second telecommunication user
TC~T2
as ultimate user of the DEC:T/1SDN intermediate system DIIS.
The DECT/ISDN intermediate system DIIS is composed essentially of
two telecommunication intcrfac:es, a Lirst telecommunication interface DIES
(DE,CT Intermediate Fixed System) and a second telecommunication interface
DIPS (DECT Intermediate Portable Systen-1) that arc wirelessly connected to
one
another, for example via a DEC:T air interface. Due to the quasi location-
bound
first telecommunication intrrfacc DIES, tile DEC'1'/ISDN ilitermediate system
I O DIIS forms the local message, rrart.smissic~rl IUUp defined above in this
context. The
first telecomn-lunication interface DIFS contains a radio fixed part RFP
(Radio
Flied Part), an intenworking unit IWL11 (lnterWorking Unit) and an interface
circuit INC1 (INterfaee Circuitry? to the S-Itlt4Yfa4E:. The second
telecommunication interface: DIPS CU11ta111S a radio portable part RPP (Radio
Portable Part and an interworking unit 1WU2 (InterWorking Unit) and an
interface circuit INC2 (INterfacc: Circuitry) t.o the 5-interface. The radio
fixed part
RFP and the radio portable part RPP thereby form the known DECT/GAP
system DGS.
As already mentioned, Figure 5 -- first (1." possibility}, as typical
2 p RLL/WLL scenario - shows h«w thr. DEC'1 /ISDN intermediate system DIIS is

The 1"'med part RFP' and the first fixed part RFP 1 are respectively
2o bidirectionally connected to an ISDN network c~r to ;i PSTN network. Given
connection to the ISDN network, two e~cternal connections can be sequenced via
