Transmission speed (monitor direction)
8.4 Link Layer
(network-specific parameter, all options that are used are to be marked “X”. Specify the    
maximum frame length. If a non-standard assignment of class 2 messages is implemented 
for unbalanced transmission, indicate the Type ID and COT of all messages assigned to 
class 2.)
Frame format FT 1.2, single character 1 and the fixed time out interval are used exclusively 
in this companion standard.
When using an unbalanced link layer, the following ASDU types are returned in class 2 
messages (low priority) with the indicated causes of transmission:
