Test Loops

The test commands addlnloclp and addlnrmtlp may affect service even when APS is configured. In
all APS configurations, if the working line is looped, both lines will be looped and traffic disrupted.

Notes on APS Messages

When adding an APS 1+1 line or trunk by using addapsln, if the working slot's paired redundant slot
is not a legal protection slot, or if firmware cannot determine what the paired slot is, an invalid slot
pairing exists and one of the following two messages will be displayed:
"Protection card specified by user does not match HW."
"Working card specified by user does not match HW."
You can display the redundant card information by using the dspcd command under the "Backcard
Installed" heading. For example, if a redundant pair is configured with a primary slot of 2 and a
secondary slot of 3, the dspcd 2 command should display "RedSlot: 3", and the dspcd 3 command
should display "RedSlot: 2".
This is an example of dspcd 2:
Release 9.3.0, Part Number 78-10674-01 Rev. D0, July 2001
{addapsln<slot.port> <slot.port> <1|2|3|..>
The last entry, "3", in the addapsln specifies the type of APS, in this example APS
1 + 1, Annex B.
