Board-Level Protection

In this user interface, you can configure board-level protection, including setting the protection switching pair, setting switching conditions, and performing protection switching operations.

Navigation Path

In the NE Explorer, click the NE and select Configuration > Board-Level Protection from the Function Tree.

Note

It applies to the TBE board.
The working and protection boards can only be in the same shelf.
For the protection switching command, the U2000 Web LCT considers only whether a command is successfully issued, but not the result of executing the command. Therefore, after the U2000 Web LCT issues a switching command, you need to manually query the switching status of the equipment.
