Configuring APS (K1 and K2) Commands
The following only applies to SONET and SDH protocol processors.
Automatic Protection Switching (APS) is a function that allows an LTE to switch to a
backup (or protection) channel in case errors or failures occur on the working channel.
APS commands can be configured for either Linear- or Ring-based SONET and SDH
networks and are transmitted using the K1 and K2 bytes of the Line Overhead.
You can test your network's APS response by generating a condition that is likely to
cause APS switching. You also have the capability to generate specific APS messages
and monitor the response by configuring the K1 and K2 bytes.
You can create up to 16 different K1 and K2 byte configurations (known as byte
sequences) to measure and stress your equipment's APS switching capabilities.
To configure K1 and K2 byte values:
1. Select a protocol processor mode.
2. Select the Transmit button.
