3.9 Automatic Protection Switching (APS)
Watson TDM plug-in modems support automatic protection switching. Two DSL
links are configured to form a protection group. One link within the group is des-
ignated as working link and carries user traffic. The other link is designated the
protection link. On the protection link the DSL is synchronized but this link carries
no traffic.

Figure 3-24: Automatic Protection Switching
If the working link fails then traffic is automatically switched to the protection link.
Protection is bi-directional i. e. transmit and receive directions are switched simul-
taneously. Protection is non-revertive: once a working link has failed and traffic
has been switched to the protection link there will be no automatic switch back to
the working link should this link become active again.
Protection groups are always configured on the DSL master (STU-C). The DSL
slave (STU-R) will follow the configuration of the STU-C modem. On a protection
group the line rate of the protection link is automatically set to equal to the line
rate of the working link.
APS is available on single-pair and on two-pair links.
Notes
APS works only between plug-in modems. It is not supported on tabletop
modems
Automatic protection switching and ISDN PRA functions are not available at
the same time
