Starting a Repeater Loopback
The Repeater Loopback command (RLB) loops the signal being sent to the
network back to the DTE Drop/Insert (DSX-1) and data ports. The signal is
looped back as close to the network interface as possible (after it has passed
through the framing circuitry of the DSU/CSU). Framing CRCs and BPVs are
corrected.
