Lists the protection groups that have been created on the node.
|
|
Displays the slots and cards that are in the protection group and their protection status, either Protect or Working.
|
|
(Available only when a protection group is selected) 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, splitter, and Y-cable 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, splitter, and Y-cable 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. |
|
|
(Available only when a protection group is selected) Manages protection group lockout commands:
• |
Lock Out —Prevents traffic from being switched to the card. Lockouts can only be applied to protect cards (in 1+1, splitter, and Y-cable configurations) and prevent traffic from switching to the protect port under any circumstance. Lockouts have the highest priority. |
• |
Lock On —Locks traffic on to 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). For splitter and Y-cable protection groups, CTC allows Lock On for a protect port if other switch conditions (Manual, Force) exist. Lock On is not available if the protect port already has a Lock Out or Lock On present. |
