The diagram below illustrates the DS0 signal path in normal condition. The DS0 signal travels on both primary path and
secondary path. The primary path is configured to be the working path and the secondary path is configured to be the
protection path.

The diagram below illustrates the DS0 signal path in faulty condition. When the primary path is broken, the secondary path
will automatically become the working path.
