Local Loopback Tests

The Local Loopback tests enable you to conduct circuit

testing and fault isolation for the digital line. The
supported local loopback tests are:

Line Loopback (LLB)

Payload Loopback (PLB)

DTE Loopback (DLB)

Repeater Loopback (RLB)

Data Channel Loopback (DCLB)

Data Terminal Loopback (DTLB)

NOTE

DLB does not appear when the
G.703 DTE interface is disabled.

The Line Loopback command can be activated and

deactivated in response to commands received over the
network interface. The Network Interface configuration
option NET LLB controls whether the E1 NTU responds
to the commands transmitted on the network interface to
initiate LLBs (see Appendix C,

Configuration Options

).

The data port configuration option NET DCLB

controls whether the E1 NTU responds to inband V.54
commands to initiate DCLB for that port (see
Appendix C,

Configuration Options

).

Local loopback tests can be aborted (Abort Command)

at any time.

No more than two local loopbacks can be active at any

one time. An additional restriction prohibits certain
loopbacks from running at the same time. Valid loopback
combinations listed in

Table 4-9

are identified by YES.
