Step 3
On the Circuits on Span dialog box (Figure 5-28), select the protection from the Switch all UPSR
circuits away menu:
• CLEAR removes a previously-set switch command.
• MANUAL switches the span if the new span is error free.
• FORCE forces the span to switch, regardless of whether the new span is error free.
• LOCKOUT locks out or prevents switching to a highlighted span. (LOCKOUT is only available
when Revertive traffic is enabled.)
Caution FORCE and LOCKOUT commands override normal protective switching mechanisms. Applying
these commands incorrectly can cause traffic outages.
