Figure 2-3: Network line loopback mode
Network Line Loopback Mode. When the local port is enabled for network line
loopback mode, the received signal is sent back to the remote end without reframing
the data. This mode primarily tests the integrity of the line from the remote side.

Figure 2-4: Network payload loopback mode
Network Payload Loopback Mode. When the local port is enabled for network
payload mode, the framer removes the framing bits from the received signal and
recovers the transmitted data. This same data is then reframed and transmitted back to
the remote end. This mode tests the line and the local circuitry from the remote side.
