This increment has no effect on traffic.


Detailed Description of Increment:  
----------------------------------
This increment maintains DDS cross connects after a
processor activity switch by properly identifying the
service type associated with those cross connects. It
then prevents any further issues by correcting the DDS 
circuit cross connect information in the database.


System Configuration / Shelf Type Requirements:
-----------------------------------------------
This increment must be applied to all AN16.10 AccessNode configurations
and shelf types.  This increment affects the APU.


Prerequisite Increments Required:

Test Instructions:
------------------
- Ensure properly provisioned and working DDS circuits survive a
  processor activity switch; the DDS circuits should not drop.
  
  PLEASE NOTE: Any switch of activity should be performed in the 
  maintenance window.
