- 1.5.2 Digital loopback test line
-
- The digital loopback test line provides a dialable 4-wire test line
- capability intended both for use in measuring the error performance of
- international digital circuits and as a quick method of verifying the continuity
- of wholly digital, non-PCM encoded and mixed analogue/digital circuits. It
- consists of circuitry that accepts and loops back on a digital basis the signal
- from a circuit. The test signal may be any arbitrary digital test pattern or
- analogue test signal.
-
- Once the tester has accessed the test line at a remote location, the
- tester may transmit the desired analogue test signals or digital test
- patterns. The tester may examine the returning signal for the received power (or
- continuity) of the analogue test signals or the error performance (or
- continuity) of the digital test patterns.
-
- The proposed dialling plan for this test line enables a particular line
- to be selected when the distant switching centre is equipped for this type of
- dialling access. If the normal test line number (access code) is busy, it is
- expected that the call should route to a busy indication.

- 3.7 Digital loopback test
-
- The digital loopback test line provides a dialable, 4-wire test line
- capability; it consists of circuitry that accepts and loops back received octets from
- a digital circuit. The octets when looped back, are retransmitted so that the
- positions of the bits within the octet are preserved; that is, the most significant
- bit of the retransmitted octet corresponds to the most significant bit of the
- received octet, and so forth.
-
- The loopback may be integrated into the switching network of the
- automatic digital switching machine, or may be provided in a stand-alone mode, having an
- external 4-wire 64 kbit/s appearance on the switching machine, similar to
- existing test lines.
