This clause contains the codings of the signalling elements used. The following conventions are assumed for the sequence of transmission of bits and bytes: - Each bit position is numbered as 1 to 8. 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 - The least significant bit is bit 1 and is transmitted first, followed by bits 2, 3, 4 etc. - In an element, octets are identified by number. Octet 1 is transmitted first, then octet 2 etc. - When a field extends over more than one octet, the order of bit values progressively decreases as the octet number increases. The least significant bit of the field is represented by the lowest numbered bit of the highest numbered octet of the field. - For variable length elements, a length indicator is included. This indicates the number of octets following in the element. - All spare or reserved bits are set to 0.
