E1 line local digital loop back 
  E1 line local digital loop back is performed by connecting the E1 link receive signal to the 
output of the transmit path, in the DSU. This loop back test checks the performance of the local 
ETU-01A, the remote ETU-01A and the connections between them, as shown in Figured 5-2.

output of the transmit path, before the Digital Service Unit (DSU). This loop back test checks the 
performance of the local ETU-01A, the remote ETU-01A and the connections between them, as
