Looking for some help with setting up FCTC loop back on a single CEC, without 
cables using Ficon terminators and four LPARs. I will be using 2 Ficon cards 
with 2 ports each, shared on all LPARs. What I am not sure about is how to code 
the I/O gen for CHPids in this configuration. Does anyone have any examples of 
this type of configuration?

For examples look at FICON Channel-to-Channel Reference.

Note: THERE ARE NO TERMINATORS in FICON.
You can have loopback - a simple LC duplex connector with input connected to output. It can be used by CE for diagnistics, but it is completely useless in production and it's unrelated to any CTC topology.

Valid FICON topologies for single CEC are:
1. FICON cable from CHPID A to CHPID B. Both CHPID are defined as FC (*unlike* in ESCON: CNC-CTC).
2. FICON cable from CHPID A to FICON switch.

So in any case you have to use two ports (2xCEC or CEC+switch), however the second scenario allows you to use the channel for other purposes as well, i.e. for tape attachment.
