CApsK1K2
This Textual Convention describes an object that stores a SONET K1 and K2 byte Aps protocol field. K1 is located in the first octet, K2 is located in the second octet. Bits are numbered from left to right, with the most significant bit being the leftmost. Bits 1-4 of the K1 byte indicate a request. 1111 Lockout of Protection 1110 Forced Switch 1101 SF - High Priority 1100 SF - Low Priority 1011 SD - High Priority 1010 SD - Low Priority 1001 not used 1000 Manual Switch 0111 not used 0110 Wait-to-Restore 0101 not used 0100 Exercise 0011 not used 0010 Reverse Request 0001 Do Not Revert 0000 No Request Bits 5-8 of the K1 byte indicate the channel associated with the request defined in bits 1-4. 0000 is the Null channel. 1-14 are working channels. 15 is the extra traffic channel Bits 1-4 of the K2 byte indicate a channel. The channel is defined with the same syntax as K1 Bits 5-8. Bit 5 of the K2 byte indicates the architecture. 0 if the architecture is 1+1 1 if the architecture is 1:n Bits 6-8 of the K2 byte indicates the mode. 000 - 011 are reserved for future use 100 indicates the mode is unidirectional 101 indicates the mode is bidirectional 110 RDI-L 111 AIS-L
