2.7.269 MANUAL-REQ-SPAN
The Manual Switch Request on Ring condition occurs when a user initiates a MANUAL RING command
on BLSR rings to switch from working to protect or protect to working. This condition is visible on the
network view Alarms, Conditions, and History tabs and is accompanied by WKSWPR. The port where
the MANUAL RING command originated is marked with an "M" on the network view detailed circuit
map.

2.7.270 MAX-STATIONS
The Maximum IEEE 802.17b-based RPR Station Number Exceeded alarm can be raised by all ML card
stations on a ring when the maximum quantity of stations, 255, is exceeded. This excess causes the
IEEE 802.17b-based RPR scheme—and traffic—to break down.
IEEE 802.17b-based RPR messaging uses time-to-live (TTL), an 8-bit value. The maximum value these
8 bits (one byte) can have is 255. As a message travels (or hops) from station to station, the TTL is
decremented by each station. Thus one station cannot communicate with another station more than 255
hops away.
