Switch Commands
|
Manages protection group switch commands:
Clear: Clears a traffic switch on the card or port highlighted under
Selected Group.
Switch: (1:1 protection groups only) Switches traffic from the highlighted
working card or port to the protect card or port.
Manual: (1+1 protection groups only) Initiates a manual switch on the selected
port. This command switches traffic only if the path has an error rate less than
the signal degrade (SD) bit error rate threshold.
Force: (1+1 protection groups only) Initiates a forced switch on the selected port.
This command switches traffic even if the path has SD or signal fail (SF)
conditions. A Force switch has a higher priority than a Manual switch.
|
Inhibit Switching
|
Manages protection group lock out commands:
Unlock: Clears a lock out.
Lock Out: Prevents traffic from being switched to the card. Lockouts can only be
applied to protect cards (in 1+1 configurations) and prevent traffic from
switching to the protect port under any circumstance. Lockouts have the highest
priority.
Lock On: Locks traffic onto the working card, that is, prevents a traffic switch
from occurring. In a 1+1 configuration you can also apply a lock on to the
working port. A working port with a lock on applied cannot switch traffic to the
protect port in the protection group (pair).
