Loopback Mode
Loopback mode is a transmission state in which the signal

when the remote end (the Telco, for example) is testing your
line; all information sent is returned to the remote end.
To select this mode, select Loopback mode on the Port Test
Configuration dialog (shown in Figure E-2 on page 103).
