Remote Loopback

This test determines the performance of both the local and the remote

(RLB)

ASMi-31 modems, as well their connecting 2-wire line between them. The

 

test activates a diagnostic loopback at the remote ASMi-31 modem (see

Figure 4-2).

To activate the Remote Digital Loopback:

Activate the Remote Loopback via the DTE interface.

The TEST LED lights on both units.

Set the DTE equipment in half duplex (which produces an "echo" through the system), or run a Bit Error Rate test.

Perform the test at both ends. If the BER test indicates a fault and if the LLB test was successful for both local and remote modems, then the 2-wire line circuits inside the modem are not operating properly, or the line connection between the modems is faulty.
