7.2.4 Circuit Protection Types

To find the remaining port soak time, choose the Maintenance > AINS Soak tabs in card view and click
the Retrieve button. If the port is in the Unlocked-disabled,automaticInService state and has a good
signal, the Time Until IS column shows the soak count-down status. If the port is
Unlocked-disabled,automaticInService and has a bad signal, the Time Until IS column indicates that the
signal is bad. You must click the Retrieve button to obtain the latest time value.

The Protection column in the Circuit window shows the card (line) and SDH topology (path) protection
used for the entire circuit path.

Circuit Protection Types
Description
The circuit is protected by a 1+1 protection group.
The circuit is protected by a two-fiber MS-SPRing.
The circuit is routed on a protection channel access (PCA) path on a two-fiber
MS-SPRing. PCA circuits are unprotected.
The circuit is protected by dual-ring interconnect (DRI).
A circuit with connections on the same node is not protected.
The circuit is protected by diverse SDH topologies, for example, an MS-SPRing and
an SNCP, or an SNCP and 1+1.
A circuit has a source and destination on different nodes and communication is
down between the nodes. This protection type appears if not all circuit components
are known.
A circuit with a source and destination on different nodes is not protected.
A circuit created as a fully protected circuit is no longer protected due to a system
change, such as removal of an MS-SPRing or 1+1 protection group.
The circuit is protected by an SNCP.
