ACCULINK 336x E1 NTU

Local Loopback Tests

The Local Loopback tests enable you to conduct circuit testing and fault isolation for the digital line. The supported local loopback tests are:

•Line Loopback (LLB)

•Payload Loopback (PLB)

•DTE Loopback (DLB)

•Repeater Loopback (RLB)

•Data Channel Loopback (DCLB)

•Data Terminal Loopback (DTLB)

NOTE

DLB does not appear when the

G.703 DTE interface is disabled.

The Line Loopback command can be activated and deactivated in response to commands received over the network interface. The Network Interface configuration option NET LLB controls whether the E1 NTU responds to the commands transmitted on the network interface to initiate LLBs (see Appendix C, Configuration Options).

The data port configuration option NET DCLB controls whether the E1 NTU responds to inband V.54 commands to initiate DCLB for that port (see Appendix C, Configuration Options).

Local loopback tests can be aborted (Abort Command) at any time.

No more than two local loopbacks can be active at any one time. An additional restriction prohibits certain loopbacks from running at the same time. Valid loopback combinations listed in Table 4-9are identified by YES.
