Test and Clear the FC_MR Terminal Loopback Circuit
Step 1 If the test set is not already sending traffic, send test traffic on the loopback circuit.
Step 2 Examine the test traffic being received by the test set. Look for errors or any other signal information
that the test set is capable of indicating.

terminal loopback from the port:
a. Double-click the intermediate-node card with the terminal loopback to open the card view.
b. Click the Maintenance > Loopback tabs.
c. Select None from the Loopback Type column for the port being tested.
