Remote Digital Loopback tests the remote modem port, the telephone 
line, the local serial and modem ports, and the local computer. This test 
requires you to type a sequence of characters at your computer. The 
modem then sends these characters to the remote modem, which echoes 
them back to your modem.

Initiate a Remote Digital Loopback by using the &T6 command.

To initiate a Remote Digital Loopback:

Dial the number of a remote system configured to accept a Remote 
Digital Loopback request.

When the modems connect, return to the command state and type: 
B <Enter>.

3. Type a sequence of characters.

The characters echoed on your display should match exactly the 
characters you typed. The test continues for the time set with register S18, 
or until you manually terminate the test. To manually end the test, enter 
command state and type: AT&T0 <Enter>

.

To end the test and hang up, type: ATH <Enter>
