LOOP REM REM PORT

When the remote user's port loopback is activated, the user's port interface of the remote ASMi-450 returns the received data signal toward the local user's DTE. The remote loopback is performed by internally connecting the DCE receive signal, to the input of the transmit path. The received data signal remains connected to the remote user's DTE. The test signal is provided by the local user's DTE, that must receive its own transmission without errors while the loopback is activated.

Figure 5-2 shows a typical remote user's port loopback.

This test fully checks the data link, including the cables connecting the two ASMi-450 to the HDSL line, the transmission plant connecting the two ASMi-450, and the cable connecting the local user's DTE to the local ASMi-450.

Before starting the execution of a test, note that in general you should activate only one loopback at a time.

To activate or deactivate a specific test, use the following procedure:

Step	Action	Key	Display
1	Bring the cursor under the left-hand field in	CURSOR
