Channel Bank: Line Loopback 

Line loopback is set in response to receiving the “Line Loop Set” code on a span's input, or via 
software.  Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) arriving at the input is looped back to the opposite 
span's output.  Figure 5-9 illustrates PCM looping back from span A’s output, as a result of a Line 
Loop Set code received by span B’s input.  PCM is also passed on to the LIU B input, even 
though the LIUs are not in the PCM path.  T1 line receivers and line buildouts are kept in the 
PCM loop to maintain the proper T1 line levels.  Figure 5-9 shows the path of the line loopback 
signal.
