FrameSaver NP 110 responds to and can issue T1 loopback codes, set operator-initiat-
ed loopbacks, source BER Tests directed toward the T1 circuit or toward the DTE, and
source Frame Relay Test Packets toward the T1 circuit.
A block diagram of the test paths within the NP 110 is shown in Figure 6-8.
Figure 6-8 Diagnostic Test Paths
The arrows indicate the direction of the loopbacks and direction of the sourced test.
Loops and sources are as follows:

e. Line loop directed toward the CPE(s).
f. Frame Relay Test Packets directed toward the T1 circuit by operator commands
issued through management session. Results are updated every five seconds and
displayed on the Device Status / Test screen.
g. BER Test directed toward the T1 circuit or DTE by operator commands issued
through management session. BER results are updated every five seconds and
displayed on the Device Status / Test screen.
h. Drop Port loop directed toward the Network or the CPE.
i. DSX Payload loop directed toward the CPE.
j. DSX Port loop directed toward the Network.
