Bilateral Loopback Test

Bilateral loopback combines the functions of local loopback and digital loopback. Its loops data from the local terminal back to the terminal, so that whatever the terminal sends is echoed back (Figure 14-5). Also, it loops to where the ISDN B-Channel data normally sent to the local DTE. Any B-Channel data received by the UTA220 is processed by the rate-adaptation protocol, and then echoed back out the B-channel to the sending unit. This test is useful in diagnosing the DTE, UTA220, switch, ISDN line, and remote unit. Run this test if you are encountering data errors after a call is placed successfully.
