An item is said to be supported for origination (ORG.) if the Implementation Under Test
(IUT) is able to generate it under some circumstances (either automatically or because

An item is said to be supported for reception (REC.) if it is correctly interpreted and

Tandem Implementation Note. “Turn-Please” APDUs are only relevant for two-way alternate

TWA dialogue mode is required only in the context of “ms-reliable-access” (in other words,
P7/ROSE-over-RTSE). Tandem OSI/MHS does not support TWA dialogue mode, P1 over
RTSE, or P7 over RTSE.
