Hi Abel

You should easily be able to put a loop locally or remotely onto an 
interface with the following command ..

set interface t1-0/0/0 t1-options loopback local (or remote)

Then you should be able to run the BERT end to end with a tester.

There is a built in BERT test on the T1 interfaces, however I used this 
some years ago and found whilst it gives an indication of functionality, 
the actual results were a bit inconsistent on certain parameters. I 
believe the functionality of BERT was designed more for the T3 
interfaces, the framers on the E1/T1 PIC's are not great for the BERT.
