4.8.1 Loop test (optical loop system only)

This test checks the line status of the forward and reverse loops upon completion of
the wiring of the optical loop system. Also, when a loopback is being executed, it
checks the station that executes the loopback.
For example, in the system shown below, where the IN/OUT connectors of station
number 5 are connected in reverse, conduct a loop test using the GX Developer
connected to station number 1.
The monitor screen shown below appears after the loop test has been executed, and
station No. 5 is detected as the station with a receiving direction error.
