The protection switch indicators are always
represented by icons that appear near the end of the link on which
they are set.
Secondary state names
In Icon-based representations of SONET
secondary states, the symbolic name “
Secondary State Definition
” that appears after each “Secondary State Name” corresponds to
the static secondary state definition. For example, the “Manual
Switch” secondary state is defined by
ManualSwitch
, which corresponds to the static definition ManualSwitch.
Secondary state icons
It is possible to change the icon associated with a secondary
state by using global settings, see Using global settings. The icon property
name to be used with
IltSettings.SetValue()
must only include the secondary state definition. For example:
- SONET.Protection.ManualSwitch.Iconwhere:
- ManualSwitch is the secondary state definition of the “Manual Switch” state
For more information on how to use global settings to modify the
SONET secondary state icons, see Customizing the SONET state system.
