7.2.3 Ring-configured Networks for Protection
The MXU makes ring network protection possible.
In the figure below, data is sent in both directions (clockwise, Tx_D, and
counter-clockwise, Tx_E) in the ring network but only received in one. If
connection is lost between two sites an error signal will activate the MXU
to switch to receive from the intact part of the ring (Rx_D coming from radio
ter minal D in this case).
