Interface Configuration Guide
3HE 11011 AAAC TQZZA Edition: 01
Context config>port>aps
Description This command configures how long the 7705 SAR waits before switching back to the working
circuit after it has been restored to service.
If the minutes value is changed, it takes effect at the next initiation of the wait-to-restore
(WTR) timer.
This command does not modify the length of a WTR timer that has already been started. The
WTR timer of a non-revertive switch can be assumed to be infinite.
The no form of this command restores the default (non-revertive) mode – the switch back
does not occur unless the protection circuit fails or it is manually switched by the operator.
Parameters minutes — the time to wait, in minutes, before reverting back to the working circuit after
it has been restored to service
Values 0 to 60
Default 5
switching-mode
Syntax switching mode {bi-directional | uni-1plus1}
Context config>port>aps
Description This command configures the switching mode for the APS port. SC-APS supports both bi-
directional and uni-1plus1; MC-APS supports only bi-directional switching mode.
Default bi-directional
Parameters bi-directional — provides protection in both directions
uni-1plus1 — provides protection in one direction
working-circuit
Syntax working-circuit port-id
no working-circuit
Context config>port>aps
Description This command configures a physical port that will act as the working circuit for this APS
group.
The working circuit port must contain only the default configuration and cannot be part of
another APS group. The working circuit must be created before the protection circuit.
