Local Analog Loopback (LLB)
FOM-E1/T1 supports activation of a local loopback, which tests the performance of
the E1/T1 electrical interface of the local unit and equipment attached to it.
The data received at the E1/T1 electrical interface is looped back to the equipment
attached to it (see

Remote Digital Loopback (RLB)
FOM-E1/T1 supports activation of a remote loopback, which tests the performance
of the local unit's E1/T1 electrical and optical interfaces and the remote unit's
optical interface.
The data received at the optical interface of the remote unit is transmitted to the
remote electrical interface and at the same time is looped back to the local unit
