When the fiber optic remote loopback is activated (remote loopback is configured from the Special Actions
menu), the remote channel interfaces return the received signal via the transmit path of the channel.
Simultaneously, the remote mux sends an unformed all-ones signal to all of the channels. Figure 6-5 shows the
fiber optic remote loopback connection.

When the link remote loopback is activated, the equipment connected to the local mux’s channel must receive
its own transmission. This test checks the operation of the local and remote units and the transmission plant
connecting the two units.
