6.5 How Do I Create or Modify APS?
Automatic Protection Switching (APS) can be configured on SONET lines within SRME or AXSM and
VXSM OC-type cards.
If you are setting up APS on multiple cards, you must first set up an APS connector and then set up
redundancy on the node (for details on setting up redundancy, see 5.5.1 Configuring Card Redundancy,
page 5-49.)
Step 1 From the Domain Explorer window, select the node from the Hierarchy pane and choose
Configuration > MGX 8880/8850 MG > Configuration Center. The Configuration window for the
selected node opens.
Step 2 Double-click an AXSM, SRME or VXSM card.
Step 3 Click the Sonet Line APS tab. Within the Sonet Line APS tab, you can:
a. Click Create to create a new Sonet Line APS
or
b. Select the line you want to modify, then click Details
Note The AXSM card is used in Figure 6-17 as an example.
