Hi gang, Ok, this may sound like a stupid question, but as they say "the only stupid question is the one not asked." So, here it goes. What exactly is the function of the smartjack on local-loop circuits? I mean, I understand their function but I am a little unclear on exactly how they fit in the scope of things. If I have a CSU/DSU which connects to the demarc (smartjack), then it is the smartjack's job to regenerate that signal and send it to the CO, correct? They also have the capability of being placed in loopback. So, is there a special inband signal which the telco can send which is picked up by just the smartjack and not the customer's CSU/DSU which raises/drops loopback? Is there a normal smartjack -like device on the telco side as well, or does the leased line connect directly to a CSU/DSU?
