Repeater Loopback (RLB)
The Repeater Loopback command (RLB) loops the signal being sent to the
network back to the DTE and data ports. The signal is looped back as close to the
network interface as possible (after it has passed through the framing circuitry of
the CSU). Framing CRCs and BPVs are corrected.
