Partial Redundancy
In a Partial Redundancy systems, multiple frames, but not all frames, have two links configured between them. In the example shown in Figure 30, Frame 1 and Frame 2 have full redundancy between them; however, Frame 3 has only one (1) link to Frame 1. This means if the fiber connection between Frame 1 and Frame 3 is broken, Frame 3 can not send or receive audio.
