What is cApsStatusSwitchedChannel?

This reports which specific working channel, if any, is currently switched over onto the protection line for this APS group, with 0 meaning no channel is currently in a switched-over state and values 1-14 identifying exactly which working channel (in a 1:n group with up to 14 working channels) is presently relying on the shared protection path. An admin monitoring a oneToN group checks this to know, at a glance, whether the group's single protection channel is currently occupied protecting a specific working channel or sitting idle and available. For example, this reporting 7 tells the admin working channel 7 is the one currently riding the protection line, meaning if a second working channel in this group were to also fail right now, there would be no protection capacity left to help it.
