Local Internal Loopback
The local unit can be set to close a remote loopback to test connection between the local and
remote units and between the remote E1/T1 port and its connection to the remote user
equipment. In this mode, data coming from the remote user equipment is looped back to it
locally. This loopback is initiated by the managing computer connected to the local unit.
