HSelect STS-1, STS-3, OC-1, OC-3, or OC-12 to transmit a
SONET signal.
HSelect DS1 or DS3 to transmit a tributary signal. See page 3–89
for details on setting tributary signal parameters.
NOTE. Even though there are output connectors for both SONET and
tributary signals on the CTS 710 front panel, the CTS 710 can
transmit only one type of signal at a time.
Independent Transmit and Receive Settings
Generally, you can set the transmit and receive settings independent-
ly. For example, you can receive an electrical signal at the STS-1
