The Network Interface configurationoption NET LLB controls whether the E1 DSU/CSUresponds to the commands transmitted on the networkinterface to initiate LLBs (see Appendix C, ConfigurationOptions).The data port configuration option NET DCLBcontrols whether the E1 DSU/CSU responds to inbandV.54 commands to initiate DCLB for that port (seeAppendix C, Configuration Options).Local loopback tests can be aborted (Abort Command)at any time.No more than two local loopbacks can be active at anyone time. An additional restriction prohibits certainloopbacks from running at the same time.
