INFORMATION PROCESSING—
BASIC MODE CONTROL
PROCEDURES FOR DATA
COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS
This Australian standard was prepared by Committee IS/1, Information Processing
Systems. It was approved on behalf of the Council of the Standards Association of
Australia on 25 September 1984 and published on 31 January 1985.
Review of Australian Standards. To keep abreast of progress in industry, Australian Standards are subject
to periodic review and are kept up to date by the issue of amendments or new editi ons as necessary. It is
important therefore that Standards users ensure that they are in possession of the latest editi on, and any
amendments thereto.
Full details of all Australi an Standards and related publications will be found in the Standards Australia
Catalogue of Publications; this information is supplemented each month by the magazine ‘The Australian
Standard’, which subscribing members receive, and which gives details of new publi cati ons, new editi ons
and amendments, and of withdrawn Standards.
Suggesti ons for improvements to Australi an Standards, addressed to the head offi ce of Standards Australi a,
are welcomed. Noti fi cati on of any inaccuracy or ambiguity found in an Australian Standard should be made
without delay in order that the matter may be investigated and appropriate action taken.

INFORMATION PROCESSING—
BASIC MODE CONTROL
PROCEDURES FOR DATA
COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS
PREFACE
This standard was prepared by the Association’s Committee on Information
Processing Systems to supersede AS 1484, Digital Data Transmission,
Part 1 — 1973, Basic Mode Control Procedures for Data Communication
Systems. It is identical with and has been reproduced from ISO 1745 — 1975,
drawn up by ISO/TC 97, Information Processing Systems.
The purpose of this standard is to specify the implementation of the Australian
standard 7-bit coded character set* for information interchange on data
transmission channels. It also defines the formats of the transmitted messages
and the supervisory sequences which are part of the transmission control
procedures.
For the purpose of this Australian standard, the text of the ISO standard used
herein should be modified as follows:
(a) Terminology: The words ‘Australian Standard’ should replace the words
International Standard’ wherever they appear.
