Loop-Around Data Test Arrangement

Issue 2 November 1996 D-11

If the user is successful in connecting to the Test Arrangement (the data typed

in is echoing back) then be assured that the user’s desktop equip ment and

connection through the switch are functioning correctly. Help Desk personnel

can than look elsewhere for the problem, saving valuable time in trouble

isolation.

A Loop-Around Data Test Arrangement can also be useful for modem pool calls.

An off-premises user having trouble connecting to a host can call to use the

Loop-Around Data Test Arrangement (see Figure D-7). Again, if the call

succeeds, the problem is not in the modem pool.
