The status of this APS channel entry. An entry may not exist in the active state unless all objects in the entry have an appropriate value. A row may not be created with an apsChanGroupName value equal to an apsConfigId(apsConfigName) value if the associated apsConfigRowStatus object is equal to active. However, if the apsConfigRowStatus object is equal to notInService, a row may be created. In other words, a channel may not be added to an active group. A row may be created with an apsChanGroupName value that is not equal to any existing instance of apsConfigId(apsConfigName). This action is the initial step in adding a SONET LTE to a new APS group. An instance of apsConfigId(apsConfigName) equal to this instance of apsChanGroupName will subsequently be created. If this object is set to destroy, the associated instance of apsMapGroupName will be set to a string of size 0 and the apsMapChanNumber will be set to -1 The channel command and channel status entries will also be deleted by this action. apsChanNumber must be set to a unique channel number within the APS group. The value 0 indicates the null channel. The values 1-14 define a working channel. When an attempt is made to set the corresponding apsConfigRowStatus field to active the apsChanNumber values of all entries with equal apsChanGroupName fields must represent a set of consecutive integer values beginning with 0 and ending with n, where n is greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to 14. Otherwise the error inconsistentValue is returned to the apsConfigRowStatus set attempt.
