Use the LOOP LINE command to initiate loopback testing of X25 lines only. The parameters are optional and can be entered in any order. Before beginning loopback testing of an X25 line, use the SET LINE command to set the STATE SERVICE and CONTROLLER LOOPBACK parameters for internal loopback testing or the STATE SERVICE and CONTROLLER NORMAL for all other loopback testing. LOOP LINE line-id COUNT number LENGTH number WITH MIXED ONES ZEROS
1 – COUNT
Specifies the number of blocks to be sent during loopback testing over the line. The count must be a decimal integer in the range of 1 through 65535. If the parameter is omitted, only one block is looped.
2 – LENGTH
Specifies the length (in bytes) of the blocks to be sent during loopback testing. The length must be a decimal integer in the range of 1 through 65535. If the parameter is omitted, a block length of 40 bytes is used.
3 – WITH
Specifies the type of binary information to be sent during testing. Three types of data can be sent: MIXED ONES ZEROS If omitted, a combination of ones and zeros (MIXED) is sent.
4 – Examples
NCP>LOOP LINE DUP-0 This command initiates a line-level loopback test over X25 line DUP-0. The software loops one message, 4096 bytes in length, with mixed binary information. NCP>LOOP LINE DUP-1 COUNT 10 WITH ONES This command initiates a line-level loopback test over X25 line DUP-1. The software loops 10 messages, 4096 bytes in length, with all binary ones information.
