LOOPBACK TESTING
The iMcV-Giga-FiberLinX-III includes Loopback testing functionality. This feature
is selectable via iView
2 within the OAM AH configuration. The menu of choices
for all ports includes:
 Terminate/initiate
 Process/ignore
OAM Loopback is controlled by using the “Loopback” and “Ignore Rx” control
parameters. Selecting “Initiate” from the “Loopback” control tells the client to
start a loopback process with the peer. Selecting “Process” from the “Ignore Rx”
control tells the client to process received loopback commands.
Only AH “Active” units can send a Loopback command to a remote unit. Either
Active or Passive AH units can respond to a Loopback command, but must be
configured to process these commands or they will be ignored.
Select Loopback to display loopback data and define how loopback is configured:
