Starting a Payload Loopback
The Payload Loopback command (PLB) loops the received signal on the network
interface back to the network. The signal is looped back as close to the DTE
Drop/Insert (DSX-1) port as possible (after it has passed through the framing
circuitry of the DSU/CSU). Framing CRCs and BPVs are corrected.
Procedure
To perform a Payload loopback:
1. From the top-level menu screen, select Test.
2. From the Test screen, select Lpbk.
3. From the Loopback screen, select PLB.
Test Started
appears on Line 2. If a Payload loopback is already in
progress, the
Already Active
message appears. If an invalid combination
of loopbacks is in progress, the error message
Invld Test Combo
appears
(see
Table 4-8, Valid Loopback Combinations
, for valid loopback test
combinations).
