Independent Receive and Transmit Settings
Generally, you can set the receive and transmit settings independent-
ly. For example, you can receive an electrical signal at the STS-1
rate while simultaneously transmitting an optical signal at the OC-3
rate.
However, when working with tributary signals, the receive and
transmit parameters are not completely independent. You cannot
receive a DS1 signal and transmit a DS3 signal. When working with
tributary signals, you must set the mapping for receive and transmit
to the same value or to Bulk Fill No Mapping. For example, you
can receive a DS1 signal and transmit an OC-12 signal, but you must
set the mapping of the transmitted signal to either Bulk Fill No
Mapping or DS1; it cannot be set to DS3.
Coupling Receive and Transmit Settings
If your application requires that the receive settings and transmit
settings be identical, you can save time by coupling them together.
After they are coupled, any change you make to a parameter on the
