SIS Command Validity Table

If only one fiber optic channel is enabled, the ability to configure the system through SIS commands is limited by the lack of return communication from the receiver to the transmitter.

All commands issued through the transmitter are valid because link 1 allows signals to be forwarded to the receiver. However, responses to queries originating from the transmitter about the status of the receiver will return invalid data.

All configuration of the receiver by commands issued through the receiver will be valid. Attempts to configure the the transmitter through the receiver in the absence of link 2 will be invalid.

The following table shows the validity of commands issued through the receiver when only link 1 is active:
