1.2.6 Perform a Terminal Loopback on a Destination-Node MXP or TXP Port
The terminal loopback at the destination-node port is the final local hardware error elimination in the
circuit troubleshooting process. If this test is completed successfully, you have verified that the circuit
is good up to the destination port. The example in Figure 1-8 shows a terminal loopback on an
destination node TXP port.
