Do you have an open ticket? Let me know what it is so I can look =

The same thing would happen if you disconnect the circuit and put =
it back together. Also, initiating a loopback command forces the =
OCU to reverse polarity on the simplex current in the circuit and =
that can change the electrical characteristics of the circuit.

>It is back up again, but I'd like to test it before I place it =
back in
service. (We have another Point to Point circuit, we can use until =
this

They always do ;-)

>operational. Is there a command or program that I can use to =

packets back and forth between the router on their end and the =
IRX211 on
my end.

I would also suggest upgrading to the latest ComOS due to a bug in =
the previous code dealing with frame relay.=20

I am in class this week, but I can spend some time with you =
working on this next week.
