Author how to do a config loopback

I have a remote site that is down. This is a cme. Im able to get into the
gw, and I see that the t1 controller is in a down state. Is the way for me
to determine if the card is bad or good by doing some type of loopback
config on the gw. I am remote to the gw. I think it's a cable issue, but
want to be sure it not a dead t1 controller card

James,

To my knowledge to can not remotely test for hardware problems using only
software.

You can however use a hardware loopback plug to test the router/CSU.

You will need to have someone connect a T1 loopback cable to your CSU and
reconfigure that controller as a channel group, configure HDLC, configure an
IP address on the interface and then run various ping tests. All of this is
detailed in this link:
