5.4.1 Normal Operation
In normal transparent operation, the data from the user equipment enters the modem at its
transmit interface, passes through the proprietary fiber optic network (See Figure 35), outputs at
the receive interface on the remote end, and vice versa.

5.4.2 Local Loopback Operation
When activated, the Local Loopback test will cause all data transmission from the local user
device to be looped back toward the receive side of that same device. The local modem under
local loopback will transmit AIS to the remote user device (Figure 36). The data from the remote
user device will not be looped back.
