Transmission and Synchronization Interfaces

In Figure 5-24b, a fiber has been cut between sites A and B. Immediately, the
DDM-2000 OC-3 Multiplexer at site B enters holdover and sends out the IC
messagetositeC.
In Figure 5-24c, the DDM-2000 OC-3 Multiplexer at site C detects the incoming IC
message from site B and forwards it on to site D.
In Figure 5-24d, the DDM-2000 OC-3 Multiplexer at site D detects the incoming IC
message from site C and sends out AIS to the BITS. The BITS will either switch to
an alternate reference, if available, or enter holdover.
If the automatic synchronization reconfiguration feature had been enabled in this
example, at this point, sites C and B would attempt to switch line timing directions
to retime from site D.
