It is also indicated in the MPS (Management and Programming Software) package under T1 diagnostics.

Loopback tests
Two local loopback tests can be initiated from the MPS, a Transceiver Local Loopback and a Digital Local
loopback. These tests can be run to check if a problem is internal or external to the system.
"All Ones" is the default BERT pattern that is automatically sent for the default period of 30 seconds when the
loopback test is run. The test period can be set to any value in the range 1 - 3600 seconds.
Running a loopback test will drop any calls in progress on the T1 / PRI. A Busy Out option is provided which
busies out all the channels as they become free. Channels should be busied out before running the loopback tests
to ensure that calls are not interrupted.
