Figure 9-11. Electrical Low Speed Protection Switching
If a service low-speed interface circuit pack fails, the board controller on the circuit
pack sends the information to the LNCTL circuit pack via the BCLAN. If
appropriate, the LNCTL circuit pack broadcasts a bidirectional switch request to
the board controllers on the LSSW circuit packs, the service OC48 TRMTR circuit
pack, and the service OC48 RCVR circuit pack.
The board controller on the LSSW circuit packs activates the protection relays on
the failed low-speed interface circuit pack and the relays on the LSSW circuit pack
