The NIU will respond to loop codes regardless of the state of the
router.  The router doesn't even need to be connected.

CSUs that are integrated into a WIC will probably not respond if the
router is in rommon, although I haven't tried it.  I believe that some
microcode needs to load from IOS to make the WIC functional.

Old-school external CSUs like the Adtran TSU will loop regardless of the
state of the router.
