My question is the Kbytes what does that mean loss of signal on RX ? Rx(K1/K2): C0/15 Tx(K1/K2): 00/00

There is no Auto protection Switching on this circuit it is straight point to point.

Hello,

the meaning of the K1/K2 bytes are defined in "Telcordia document GR-253—Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) Transport Systems: Common Generic Criteria".

K1/K2 = 00/00 means no APS (respective no APS requests)

K1/K2 = C0/15 means

K1 = 11000000, which translates to "low priority signal failure on protected channel"

K2 = 00010101, which translates to "working channel 1 in 1+1 redundancy, bidirectional mode"

So this can mean, that the provider equipment on one end has APS configured, whereas your euipment has no APS configured. APS is local between your interface and the provider equipment (multiplexer).

Hope this helps! Please rate all posts.
