All active cassettes which are able to output a NIT ("NIT cassettes")
must be set and ready for reception.

—> The NITs of all "NIT cassettes" are switched on.
—> The cassette fetches all the information (output frequencies, output

data rates, etc.) it needs from all the "NIT cassettes" in order to
generate the NIT. This process may take a few seconds.

Then the NIT is generated, added and sent to all "NIT cassettes".
The other "NIT cassettes" also add this new NIT. The status of all
"NIT cassettes" in the NIT menu changes to "
