Through Mode
Use Through Mode to monitor a signal without changing it. In
Through Mode, the rate and content of the transmitted signal is that
of the received signal. You cannot make changes to pointers or
timing, overhead bytes, or insert alarms or errors when the CTS 710
is in Through Mode. Through Mode does not perform clock recovery
before retransmitting the recovered signal. Through Mode is used for
nonintrusive performance monitoring of the active signal.
