MMI External loopback test
Test 3, network loopback, loops the LEI's received E1 data back toward the
CPE. No test data is generated or received by the LEI. If test 2 passes but test
3 fails, it indicates that the CPE device is defective. If test 2 was not run and
test 3 fails, the E1 link or the CPE device could be defective. To isolate the
failure to the CPE device, tests 2 and 3 must be run in tandem. Figure 58
illustrates how the signaling is looped back toward the CPE.
