Chapter 8. Protection
Vol. IV-8-24
• As the tribs are not protected for Hot Standby: Non-protected Tributary
operation, each IDU is separately trib-cabled (cross-over or straight cables) to
its user interface. Y cables are not used.
For easy simultaneous viewing of multiple screens, move and resize the screens.
Once the screen positions are set, the same positions for primary and secondary
IDUs appear each time a protected IDU pairing is opened
