Data Port V.54 remote loop back
The Data Port V.54 remote loop back is performed by sending
standard V.54 loop back codes to the remote unit. The remote
unit then connects its local data channel receive data (RD) to the
channel transmit input (TD). This loop back test checks the
performance of the local ETU-01A, the remote ETU-01A and
the connections between them, as shown in Figured 5-8.

Integrated Bit Error Rate Test (BERT).
During Data Port BERT testing, the local DTE is disconnected
and the DSR line is off. An internal pattern generator connects a
user selected test pattern sequence to the transmit input of the local
data channel interface. To calibrate the system, the user can inject
errors at a selectable rate. The receive output is connected to a
pattern tester. The tester compares the received and transmitted
patterns and detects errors.
