B-Band Loop Back
Programs the modem for baseband loopback operation (test
mode).
When baseband loopback is turned on, the data and timing
signals are hard-wired (via relays) from the demodulator to the
modulator on the modem side of the interface. The DTE
baseband signals are also looped back from the transmitter data
and clock to the receiver data and clock on the customer side of
the interface. This is a bi-directional loopback of the baseband
data. Refer to Figure 3-28 for a block diagram of baseband
loopback operation.
