Data Channel Loopback (DCLB)

V. 54 Remote Loopback
5-24
The Data Channel Loopback (DCLB) loops the data for a particular synchronous
data port back to the interface after the information has passed all the way
through the device (i.e., just before it is sent to the Customer Premises
Equipment). Use DCLB to verify the end-to-end integrity of a circuit for a
particular port.

The following tests cannot be running when a DCLB test is initiated:
A Line Loopback, Payload Repeater Loopback or Send Pattern Test on the
same interface
Send Pattern Test or DTE Payload Loopback on the same port
The V.54 remote loopback commands a device to go into the data channel
loopback on the associated port.
