Loopback testing is useful for troubleshooting problems with network connections 
should they occur.  Looping received data back onto the transmit path helps 
determine whether a connection is still valid.  Remote loopback tests isolate problems 
on the coax run between an iMcV-DS3/E3-LineTerm module and the connected 
device, while local loopback tests can isolate problems on the fiber connected to the 
module. 

The following illustrations show a typical progression of loopback tests (i.e., starting by 
checking the coax segment at the local side, then the fiber segment at the remote 
side, etc).
