Select a test state or keep the default, NO LOOP. See “Loopback Test Modes,”
later in this chapter, for detailed information about the tests.
See the V.54 Loopback parameter on page A-9
for information.
Selecting a loopback test state disrupts user data transmission through the
DSU/CSU for a period specified by the V.54 Timer parameter.
Configuring the V.54 Loopback Timer
You must set the duration, in seconds, for the loopback testing specified in the
V.54 Loopback parameter. The default value, zero (0), indicates that loopback
testing runs indefinitely.
Specify the number of seconds, from 1 to 255, for loopback testing to run, or keep
the default, 0.
See the V.54 Timer parameter on page A-10
for information.
Loopback Test Modes
You can activate DSU/CSU tests from the Configuration Manager, as described in
the previous section, “Configuring V.54 Loopback Tests.” The DSU/CSU module
also responds to CCITT V.54 loop-up and loop-down codes.
Caution:
If the only connection with the remote router is through the
DSU/CSU, selecting a loopback test state prevents the local router from
communicating with the remote router for the duration of the test.
Caution:
If the only connection with the remote router is through the
DSU/CSU, be sure to specify a nonzero value, since loopback testing prevents
the local router from communicating with the remote DSU/CSU.
