Figure 6-3. Tributary Loopback Test

Analog Network

An Analog Network loopback test loops the selected T1/E1 back to the network (DS3). The T1/E1 is

completely demultiplexed, looped back at the T1/E1 line interface unit (LIU), through the LIU drivers and

receivers, and multiplexed back onto the DS3 network stream. See Figure 6-4 for an illustration of this

test.

Figure 6-4. Analog Network Loopback

Digital Line/Net

A Digital Line/Net loopback performs a loopback of the selected T1/E1 in both the network and local loop

directions. Both loopbacks occur at the T1/E1 LIU. The network side loopback occurs at the edge of the

LIU while the T1/E1 loop side loopback occurs deep into the LIU through the receiver, receive equalizer,

transmit jitter attenuator, and the T1/E1 transmit drivers. See Figure 6-5 on page 6-3 for an illustration of

this test.
