Local Analog Loopback L3 - &T1


Use the analog loopback test if you suspect the modem is causing errors in data transmission. The local analog loopback test verifies both the modem and the local computer. If the test fails, the local computer may be at fault.

Note: This test may be performed with a V.21, V.22, V.22bis, or V.23 connection.



Step 1:
Set the local computer to echo characters and the local modem to echo commands received from the local computer (the E1 option selected). Initiate the test with &T1. Type a few sentences; they will be looped back to the local computer.

Step 2:
If the modem echoes your keyboard input to the screen as you typed it, the modem is operating correctly. If not, the modem may be faulty. To end the test, enter the command state by issuing the escape sequence with guard time (+++) and then issue the &T0 command.
