11.9 AIS Configuration
NOTE: AIS applies to Y.1731 procedures only.
Configuring Alarm Indication Signal (AIS) establishes a relationship between a lower level MEP
(the server that detects an error condition) and higher level MEPs or MIPs (the clients that must
be notified by the server about an error condition). When a defect is detected by the server MEP,
higher level MEPs or MIPs (clients) are notified and generate AIS frames toward their peers. Up
to four clients can be configured for each MEP AIS server
