Fault Isolation for Fiber Links

Test #242 can be run as part of the test board UUCSS long command for an EI
circuit pack. Besides testing on-board components, this test is helpful for isolating
problems between a circuit pack and the lightwave transceiver. The loopback
shown in this diagram shows only part of what Test #242 does. If no lightwave
transceiver is connected to the EI circuit pack, an on-board loopback is performed
on the EI circuit pack. For more information about Test #242, see ‘‘EXP-INTF
(Expansion Interface Circuit Pack)’’ on page 8-762.
