MMI external loopback test
Test 3, network loopback, loops the received T1 data back toward the CPE
equipment. No test data is generated or received by the Lineside T1 card. If
test 2 passes but test 3 fails, it indicates that the CPE device is defective. If
test 2 was not run and test 3 fails, the T1 link or the CPE device could be
defective. To isolate the failure to the CPE device, tests 2 and 3 must be run
in tandem.
Figure 45 "MMI network loopback test" (page 253) demonstrates
how the signaling is looped back toward the CPE equipment.

The Test Carrier (T C) command set enables tests to be run on the Lineside
T1 card, the T1 link, or the CPE device. These three tests provide the
capability to isolate faulty conditions in any one of these three sources.
See
Table 110 "MMI Tests" (page 254) for additional information on these
three test types.
After entering the T C command set, select which test to start. The prompt
appears, similar to the following:
Test 1: Local Loopback Test
Test 2: External Loopback Test
Test 3: Network Loopback Test
