5.3 OPERATIONAL DIAGNOSTICS

You can use local and remote loopback tests to test individual ports while
the ATX is operational. When in local loopback, a port is disconnected
from its network. The ATX generates loopback packets for the port, and
the port loops the packets back without sending them onto its network.

During a remote loopback test, the port is in normal operation, sending
and receiving packets to its network. The ATX generates loopback
packets which are sent out of the port to a particular destination device on
the ports network. The destination device echoes the packet back onto the
network, and the originating port receives the packet.
