LOOPBACK STATUS/COMMANDS
Summary: This procedure provides instructions for displaying the currently active loopbacks for
all circuits in the system, and for enabling/disabling loopbacks.
Caution: Do not perform a DS3 loopback when the Soneplex Broadband chassis is
connected to a DS3 CAM unit in the Soneplex CCAS system.
