[1] Set Loopback

. A prompt listing the loopback choices for the selected

port appears at the bottom of the screen.

Enter the number corresponding to the type of loopback you want to configure.

The following subsections describe the available loopbacks for each of the
PathBuilder S330 interfaces.

T1/E1 UNI with IMA

Loopbacks

The following loopbacks are available for the T1/E1 UNI with IMA interface:

Network Line

— Loops the T1/E1 received data back on the output side after the

digital data has been recovered.

Local Card

— Loops the transmit T1/E1 output on the receive side; the

transmitted data will continue to go on the output.

Network Card

— Loops the T1/E1 received payload back toward the line output.
