<div>James,</div>

<div>To my knowledge to can not remotely test for hardware problems using only software.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>You can however use a hardware loopback plug to test the router/CSU.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>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:

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
