Loopback Tests?....

[adamf]

How do you perform a Loopback test to see if an interace is useable?

What tools do you need?

I usually just make myself a loopback RJ45 plug.

I use it for T-1s, 56k, and ethernet.

Have you got the pin outs or a web page for making one of these.

Thanks

For T-1:

1 --> 4

2 --> 5

For 56K:

1 --> 7

2 --> 8

For Ethernet

1 --> 3

2 --> 6

Hope it helps!
