Remote Digital Loopback — &T6
The initiating modem signals the remote modem to go to Digital
Loopback. The remote modem receives and then retransmits data back
to the local modem. If Digital Bilateral Loopback is enabled on the
remote modem, the remote DTE is looped back to itself (Figur e7-4).

Loop Enabled at the Remote Site
After making the data connection, enter the escape sequence to return to
command mode. Entering
&T6
places the remote modem in digital
loopback provided the remote operator has entered the
&T4
command
to allow an RL request. Enter a test message and verify the message is
being looped back to your terminal screen. If the message is incorrect,
use the analog loopback tests on both modems to isolate the problem. If
both modems run analog loopback without errors, the problem could be
with the phone line.
Remote Digital Loopback with Self Test — &T7
After making the data connection, enter the escape sequence to return to
command mode. Entering
&T7
places the remote modem in digital
loopback provided the remote operator enters
&T4
to allow an RL
request. Once in RDL/TP, the local modem transmits a test pattern and
automatically verifies that the remote modem is looping the pattern back
(Figure 7-5). Enter
&T
to exit RDL/TP and return to command mode.
Enter the
O
command to return online in data mode.
