Each part can be used as transmitter or receiver. As a transmitter, it is rather a temporary solution, because the operation after a period of non-use no longer works intuitively without instruction. Therefore came with me shortly afterwards the YN-622N-TX into the house. So I see now what I have set for the receiver and of which there are now two become because the YN-622N so both can be used as recipients alike. (A second flash is now already ordered ...). Everything harmonizes very well with Nikon D7000 and Nissin Di866. Even an old Metz flash ignites the YN-622N as expected because it indeed does not matter what's on it. Flash reflector adjustment via radio goes. At i-TTL I can not over layers previously, because I work from the beginning rather towards manual adjustment.
