MMI Local loopback test
Test 2, external loopback, applies an external loopback to the E1 link. Test
data is generated and received by the LEI on all timeslots. If test 1 passes
but test 2 fails, it indicates that the E1 link is defective between the LEI and
the external loopback location. If test 1 was not run and test 2 fails, the E1
link or the LEI could be defective. To isolate the failure to the E1 link, tests 1
and 2 must be run in tandem.
Figure 79 "MMI External loopback test" (page
313) demonstrates how an external loopback is applied to the E1 link.

MMI External loopback test
Test 3, network loopback, loops the LEI’s received E1 data back toward the
CPE. No test data is generated or received by the LEI. If test 2 passes but
test 3 fails, it indicates that the CPE device is defective. If test 2 was not run
and test 3 fails, the E1 link or the CPE device could be defective. To isolate
the failure to the CPE device, tests 2 and 3 must be run in tandem.
Figure
80 "MMI Network loopback test" (page 314) illustrates how the signaling is
looped back toward the CPE.
