NOTE. When the incoming line rate changes, a valid LOS must occur
between the old and new line rates; otherwise, the CTS 710 might
lose pattern lock and display an LOS or LOF status. If this occurs,
reselect the correct Receive line rate after the change or initiate a
valid LOS (for example, disconnect and reconnect the received signal
or assert LOS at the source).
