Diagnostics 
Loopbacks 
Local Loopback (LLB): activated by a front panel 
pushbutton or by the DTE interface signal (V.35, V.24, 
RS-530 and V.36) 
Remote Loopback (RLB): activated by a front panel 
pushbutton or by the DTE interface connector signal (V.35, 
V.24, RS-530 and V.36) 
Local Digital Loopback (DIG): activated by a front panel 
pushbutton
