Switch

Prevents card from switching to protect.

Force card to go to protection even if path is not reliable or
available.

A manual request to switch to or from protection, depending on
card selected, will take effect if no other cards are switched to
protect and if path is good.

If card is part of a protection mechanism and a switch is activated,
enabling the card will allow the revertive switch to take place after
specified time period.
