1. A method, comprising:
- detecting, by a waveguide system comprising a processing circuit, a fault in operations of the waveguide system; and
enabling, by the waveguide system, a bypass mode of a bypass circuit responsive to detecting the fault, wherein subsequent to the bypass mode being enabled, electromagnetic waves propagating along a surface of a transmission medium bypass the waveguide system.

Abstract
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a transmission system having a coupling device, a bypass circuit, a memory and a processor. The coupling device can facilitate transmission or reception of electromagnetic waves that propagate along a surface of a transmission medium. The memory can store instructions, which when executed by the processor, causes the processor to perform operations including restarting a timer to prevent the bypass circuit from disabling the transmission or reception of electromagnetic waves by the coupling device. Other embodiments are disclosed.

14. A method, comprising:
-
transmitting, by a first device, first electromagnetic waves along an outer surface of a transmission medium, wherein the first electromagnetic waves are directed to a second device, and wherein the first electromagnetic waves operate at a first carrier frequency; detecting, by the first device, a fault in operations of the second device; identifying, by the first device, a third device that utilizes the transmission medium for receiving second electromagnetic waves at a second carrier frequency, wherein the first carrier frequency differs from the second carrier frequency; and transmitting, by the first device, adjusted first electromagnetic waves along the outer surface of the transmission medium directed to the third device, wherein the adjusted first electromagnetic waves propagate along the outer surface of the transmission medium traversing the second device, wherein the adjusted first electromagnetic waves operate at the second carrier frequency, which reduces electromagnetic wave interference by the second device. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16)
