Figure 4-4 Remote ASM-20 in Digital Loopback

This test is activated by pressing the DIG push button. It loops the received data back to the remote ASM-20. (This test is equivalent to activating the remote loopback from the remote ASM-20 - see Figure 4-5). The operator at the remote end can determine the performance of the local and remote ASM-20 units, and the lines between them.

Note

The modem with the pressed DIG push button must be in RCV or ASY mode
