Figure 9-21. Dual Ring Interworking Circuit (Secondary Node Failure)
When an incoming OC-48 loss of signal condition is detected by the primary node
(node 4) and node 2, the primary node (node 4) and node 2 perform 2-fiber ring
protection switching. The 2-fiber ring protection switch does not affect the DRI
circuit.
For more information about the DRI application, refer to Volume I, Section 3,
"Applications." For more information about cross-connections, refer to Volume I,
Section 8, "Administration and Provisioning."
