Loopbacks

The CPX supports near-end loopback on T-1 ports as a diagnostic

 

tool to test connectivity to external devices. During a loopback

 

procedure, the transmitted signal is returned to the sending device

 

to verify that there were no transmission errors.

 

Use these steps to perform a loopback from JetCraft or JetVision:

Step 1

Lock the card.

Step 2

Set the port to loopback status.

Step 3

Temporarily remove any existing T-1 cable from the port and

 

connect a loopback plug to the port.

 

 

 

 

Note

 

To create a loopback plug, use a short length of T-1 cable

 

with a jack on one end. Connect pins 1 and 4, and pins 2

 

and 5. Test the connections for continuity.

 

 

 

Step 4

Observe the results of the loopback test.

Step 5

When the loopback test is complete, remove the loopback plug and

 

reconnect the T-1 cable removed in Step 3.

Step 6

Set the port to No Loopback.

Step 7

Unlock the port, returning it to normal operation.

 

Refer to the JetCraft User’s Guide or JetVision User’s Guide for further

 

details.
