CONTROL
1 SECOND
Assume that our system comprises four OTUs and the data transmission rate is 300 Baud.
Referring to Table 1 it can be seen that for full and half duplex configurations five appears in the
column, this means that in a half duplex configuration the total number of Control and Reply bytes
is five. For a full duplex system the Replies start to come in whilst the Control message is being
transmitted, therefore in addition to the five Reply bytes, three Control bytes can also be supported
in the 1 second cycle time.
