When ADM is used, non-dropped DS1 channels pass between radios on the DS3 channel.
The added DS1s are mapped into the DS3 entering the radio. 3/4DS3 + ADM should not
be used at a terminal stie without a DS3 input on the ADM channel. At these terminal sites,
use 2/3 DS3 +28T. If not all 28T are needed at the terminal site, sub-equip the M12s.
