T1 Loopback (Selectable)
Network Loopback is a testing procedure that segments the line and 
allows the user to isolate faults. The selections for this field are None, 
Line-Loop, and Payload-Loop. In Line-Loop the entire T-1 line is looped 
back, including the framing bits, CRC, and the facility data link. This 
happens before the framer. In Payload-Loop, only the 24 time slots are 
looped back, which happens behind the framer, and does not include the 
framing bits, CRC, and facility data link. The WPIM-RT1 must be in 
Loop-Timing mode to use this option. The default setting is None.

WPIM Timeslot  Configuration Table
The WPIM Timeslot Configuration table allows the user to configure the 
way in which the Cabletron WAN module uses the T1 line. The 
configuration table consists of 24 Timeslots. Each Timeslot must be 
assigned an Interface number (for example, 002 for an active Interface 
number or 000 if the Timeslot is not used). When an entire T1 line is 
leased, all 24 Timeslots (the full T1 bandwidth) can be used. If only a 
fraction of the T1 line is leased, the service provider indicates which 
Timeslots to use.
Timeslots can be utilized in any way chosen. The WPIM-RT1 supports 
Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) allowing channelization of circuits 
(Timeslots) within the public network. For example, if the WPIM-RT1 
has access to a full T1 (24 Timeslots), and the user wants to communicate 
with two other sites, the configuration might look like the one shown in 
.
