Data Channel Loopbacks on a Frame Relay Link

A network-initiated Data Channel Loopback (DCLB) that loops data over the frame relay link (DS0s) received on the network interface through the FrameSaver unit's framing circuitry and back to the same interface.

A DCLB can be controlled over the frame relay link using one of the following in-band methods:

HV.54 Loopback.

HANSI T1.403 Annex B Fractional T1 (FT1) Channel Loopback.

The frame relay service provider can use DCLB to verify the integrity of the frame relay circuit.

98-16223

CAUTION:

V.54 and FT1 Loopbacks may affect the operation of the frame relay PVCs assigned to the selected port. While in loopback, the frame relay link will be down so any IP data being sent while this test is active will be disrupted.
