Tributary
A Tributary loopback loops the selected T1/E1 back to the network (DS3). The T1/E1 is demultiplexed
through the M23 and M12/G.747 demultiplexers, looped back, and multiplexed back up through the M12/
G.747 and M23 multiplexers. During this loopback, all network receive data is passed to the DSX-1/E1
transmitters, but all data received by the DSX-1/E1 loop side is ignored and substituted with the network
data. See Figure 6-3 for an illustration of this test.
