Additionally, the loopbacks can be remotely controlled
by out-of-band commands through the T1 ESF FDL or
from T-Watch through a modem connection.
Classes of Loopbacks
There are two classes of loopbacks: network interface
and DTE interface.
Network Interface Loopbacks
Network interface loopbacks (see Figure 1-9) affect the
entire T1 data stream. There are two types of network
loopbacks, line loopback and payload loopback.
Line loopback loops all of the received data back
toward the network. The transmitted data is the
identical line code that was received, including any
bipolar violations or framing errors.
Payload loopback is similar to line loopback, except
that the framing is extracted from the received data
and then regenerated for the transmitted data.

DTE Interface Loopbacks
DTE interface loopbacks affect only that portion of the
data stream programmed to that particular interface
port. The Nx56/64 serial interface offers two loop-
backs, a DTE loopback and a port loopback. See
Figures 1-10 and 1-11.
