OOPBACKS
The Avidia system supports loopbacks that enable you to test the data communication path
between a card in the Avidia system and another device with the same transmission. You can
run these loopbacks on DS1/DSX-1, DS3, and OC3 lines. Definitions of end-points for these
tests include the near-end which is the local Avidia card and the far-end which is the device (this
could be another Avidia card) that is the remote end for the test.
When you initiate a loopback test on a data communication path, normal service is
interrupted for that path until the test is cancelled. The system is then returned to normal
operation.
