(4) Loopback function (optical loop system)
In the optical loop system, the transmission path is dual-structured. When an error
occurs in a transmission path, the faulty area is disconnected by switching the
transmission path from the forward loop to the reverse loop or from the reverse
loop to the forward loop, or performing a loopback. The transmission is continued
normally between the stations that are still able to perform data communication.
(a) When normal
The data link is performed using the forward loop (or the reverse loop).
