DLP-A35 Modify an Optimized 1+1 Protection Group
• Reversion time—If Revertive is checked, choose a reversion time from the drop-down list. The
range is 0.5 to 12.0 minutes. The default is 5.0 minutes. Reversion time is the amount of time that
will elapse before the primary channel is automatically renamed as secondary and the secondary
channel is renamed as primary. The reversion timer starts after conditions causing the switch are
cleared.
• Verification guard time—Choose the verification guard time from the drop-down list. The range is
500ms to 1s. A verification guard timer is used to ensure the acceptance of a Force switch command
from the far-end node. When the Force command is received, if no Lockout is present or if Secondary
section is not in a failed state, then the outgoing K1 byte is changed to indicate Force and the verification
guard timer is started. If a Force switch command is not acknowledged by the far-end within the
verification guard timer duration, then the Force command is cleared.
• Recovery guard time—Choose the recovery guard time from the drop-down list. The range is 0s to
10s. The default is 1s. A recovery guard timer is used for preventing rapid switches due to SD/SF (signal
degrade/signal failure) failures. After the SD/SF failure is cleared on the line, a recovery guard timer shall
be started. Recovery guard time is the amount of time elapsed before the system declares that a condition
is cleared after the detection of an SD/SF failure.
• Detection guard time—Choose the detection guard time from the drop-down list. The range is 0s to
5s. The default is 1 second. The detection guard timer is started after detecting an SD/SF/LOS (loss of
signal)/LOF (loss of frame)/AIS-L (alarm indication signal–line) failure. Detection guard time is the
amount of time elapsed before a traffic switch is initiated to a standby card after the detection of an
SD/SF/LOS/LOF/AIS-L failure on the active card.
