5.3 Stand Alone Modem Diagnostic Tools
The 2461 rack mount modem has no panel switches for loopbacks. All loopback tests are
controlled via software. The stand alone modem, however, does have a limited set of hardware-
controlled loopbacks that are on the front panel. On the front of the 2461 stand alone modem,
near the right center, note the switch labeled loopback. It has three positions, Local, Off, and
Remote.
Loc: Sets a loopback test on the local modem
Off: Loopback tests are off
Rem: Sets a loopback on the remote modem
The 2461 stand alone modem also provides the same set of software-controlled loopback tests
available on the rack mounted modem.
