APS 1+1 LED Displays

The backcards used for APS 1+1 with front card redundancy have an LED which indicates whether the
backcard can be pulled out for service replacement.
For example, all the lines on the card except one may be working properly and therefore the card needs
to be replaced. The backcard LED functions are listed in Table 26-5.
Note In the APS 1+1 configuration, when the primary card is active and the protection line is
active, LEDs on both backcards are green. The LED of the secondary is green because that
backcard is carrying traffic. The LED of the primary backcard is green, because that is in
the physical path of the front card in receiving traffic from the protection line. When the
backcard LED is green do not pull out the backcard, because it will disrupt traffic. When
the LED is yellow it is OK to pull out the backcard, but it should be put back as soon as
possible, because the card will be needed in the event of a switchover.
