The Loopback parameter is used to set the loopback state of a line service. Values for this parameter are selected from a drop-down list. The Loopback parameter can take on the following values:
| Loopback Type |
Description |
Behavior |
When shoud we use it? |
|---|---|---|---|
| NONE |
Normal Operation |
All traffic is received and sent on the line |
Always |
| LINE |
Analog Line Loopback |
All received traffic is re-routed on the transmit line. The clock and data recovered from the line inputs are routed back to the line outputs of the analog transceiver bypassing the framer modules |
First step in testing a physical connection |
| PAYLOAD |
Digital Line Loopback |
All received traffic is re-routed on the transmit line.The clock and data recovered from the line inputs are routed back to the line outputs after the deframer/framer. |
Second step in testing a physical connection. This tests the framer configuration. |
| GENERATE_LOS |
Generate Loss of Signal |
This forces the transmit line to stop sending |
This is the second-best thing to disconnecting the line interface physically. |
| LOCAL |
Local Loopback |
All received traffic is dropped. The traffic sent is re-routed internally. |
Never. Used for internal testing only. |
To change the Loopback parameter from the Web Portal:
Line Interfaces -> Line Services (Choose) -> Status Tab -> Loopback -> Apply States
To see the status from the Web portal:
Line Interfaces -> Status tab
