2. Verify that the optical patch cord to the protect interface at the near end is connected
to the protect interface at the far end. Reconfigure and reconnect the optical patch
cords to the protect members if they are not.
3. Verify that the optical patch cord to the working interface at the near end is connected
to the working interface at the far end. Reconfigure and reconnect the optical patch
cords to the working members if they are not.

APSCM
APSCM (APS Channel Mismatch)
The expected channel has not bridged onto the protection channel at the far end as per the
switch request from the near end.
The APS channel mismatch alarm applies only to protection groups configured to perform
bidirectional switching. This alarm indicates that the far end is not responding to near-end
switch requests as expected. This can occur under any the following situations:
• the protection group is not fully configured at the far end.
• the working and protected fibers are misconnected.
