Well...you almost always need two sets of rings...oh I see what you're saying.

The rings go up and then they disappear after they do whatever fakey science thing they do to the people to make them disappear and it's transmitted to the receiver set...

BUT, there are exceptions.

If there's no receiving set of rings, the rings can physically reform themselves at a small distance--such as what Jacob did to Sam and Daniel in Tangent, or the bounty hunter did in er, Bounty. If there's no solid material for the rings to reform on, then they just break apart/disappear, like the supersoldier did in "Evolution 2"

I don't think it's "two types" or rings so much as "settings" in the transport. If there's a signal to whatever x spot, the rings work that way, whether as transmitter or receiver. There is actually a ring "beam". (And they can be intercepted too--like Vala in Beachhead, or Teal'c did for team in "Devil You Know" (and team tried to do for Teal'c in "Serpent's Venom").

Hmm, maybe the rings are transported as well? No, that wouldn't make sense because then you'd have some platforms with ring surpluses and some with no more "rings to transport".
