LOOPBACK TESTING 

The iMcV-Giga-FiberLinX-III includes Loopback testing functionality. This feature 

is selectable via iView

2

 within the OAM AH configuration. The menu of choices 

for all ports includes: 

•

  Terminate/initiate 

•

  Process/ignore 

OAM Loopback is controlled by using the “Loopback” and “Ignore Rx” control 

parameters. Selecting “Initiate” from the “Loopback” control tells the client to start 

a loopback process with the peer. Selecting “Process” from the “Ignore Rx” 

control tells the client to process received loopback commands. 
Only AH “Active” units can send a Loopback command to a remote unit. Either 

Active or Passive AH units can respond to a Loopback command, but must be 

configured to process these commands or they will be ignored. 
Select Loopback to display loopback data and define how loopback is configured: 

 

OAM AH: Loopback screen.
