Introduction
Automatic Protection Switching (APS) configures a pair of SONET lines for line redundancy so that
hardware automatically switches from a Working line to a Protection line when the Working line fails,
and vice versa, within a specified period after an active line failure.
Each redundant line pair consists of a Working Line and a Protection Line. The concept of Working and
Protection Lines is similar to the concept of Primary and Secondary Y Redundant cards. That is, the
Working line is the logical line to which the user refers.
Left undisturbed, hardware performs line switching automatically. Upon detection of a Signal Fail
condition (LOS, LOF, Line AIS or Bit Error Rate exceeding a configured limit) or a Signal Degrade
condition (BER exceeding a configured limit), hardware switches from the Working Line to the
Protection Line (assuming the Working line was the Active line and the Protection line is not in alarm).
