4 SETUP AND PROCEDURES BEFORE STARTING THE OPERATION
4.10.1 Loop test (optical loop system only)
This test checks the line status of the forward and reverse loops upon completion of
the wiring of the optical loop system. Also, when a loopback is being executed, it
checks the station that executes the loopback.
For example, in the system shown below, where the IN/OUT connectors of station
number 5 are connected in reverse, conduct a loop test using the GX Developer
connected to remote master station.
The monitoring screen below is displayed after the loop test has been executed, and
station No. 5 is detected as the receive direction error station.
