Figure 3-33
Backward alarm use with multi-destination carriers
In figure 3-33, a multi-destination carrier transmitted by station A
is received by stations B and C. Both stations B and C return a
single-destination carrier to station A. The backward alarms on
outgoing carriers from B and C are configured the same as for a
single-destination carrier, that is, the receive prompt alarm
activates backward alarm channel number 1.
