Physical Tests

Physical Tests can only be commanded for the user data port.

DTE Loopback

The DTE external Loopback (DTLB) test loops the received signal on a user data

port back to the DTE. Use this test for isolating problems on the user data port.

An attached device or test equipment must generate data to be looped back.
