The default setting is the highest rate supported by the module. The
default highest rate will be SONET when both SONET and SDH are
supported by the module. OTU1 and OTU2 structures are not scanned,

discover the signal structure. The Smart Scan button gives the same
result as the
Not Scanned. Click here or on the “Smart Scan” button
