To configure the working and protection channels for the APS group: Note: Prior to completing this step, your NE device must be configured with a card that supports APS ports. See Table 38-2, APS port configurations for a list of cards that support APS ports. To create an APS working channel or APS protection channel, you can also right click on the SC APS Group icon under the APS Groups object in the navigation tree and choose Create APS Working Channel or Create APS Protection Channel from the contextual menu. The Create APS Protection Channel option is available only when an APS Working Channel already exists. The working and protection channels should be configured on different MDAs but on the same IOM card for the 7705 SAR-8 and 7705 SAR-18.
