The
LOCAL LINK LOOPBACK
command sets and clears a bidirectional
loopback function on the link port. When activated the link port will loop all
data sent from the channels to the link back to the respective channel ports
(Figure 2-10). At the same time, it will loop outward on Pin 2 (TxD) all data
received on Pin 3 (RxD). This command is not usable in remote supervisory
mode since it will disrupt remote communications. This command acts as a
toggle switch. The first time it is selected the local link loopback is activated.
The second time it is selected the local link loopback is cleared.
During a link loopback state, the link down LED on the front panel will flash to
indicate the existence of the loopback state.
A
LINK RESET
, System Reset or power failure will also clear a local link
loopback state.
