11.104 Test Loop
Tests the network connections to MOP hosts. A simple loopback service verifies that the remote
node is receiving the server’s transmissions. An Assistant or “helper” node can be specified to for-
ward one or both of the transmissions (outbound or incoming).
Restrictions You must be the privileged user to use this command.
Parameters address
Specify either a text host name or an Ethernet address. Ethernet addresses
are specified in xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx (hexadecimal) format, where each xx
represents one of the 6 bytes of the node’s hardware address. If text
names are used, only LAT service names can be resolved to hardware
addresses.

11.105 Test Port
Tests a port’s connection by sending a continuous stream of ASCII alphabetic characters from the
port for a certain number of lines. If no width or count is specified, the server will produce 70-
character lines until a key is pressed to stop the test.
Restrictions You must be the privileged user to test a port other than your own. Vir-
tual and multisession-enabled ports can only be tested by the current user
on that port.
Parameters PostScript
Sends a PostScript test page to the port instead of ASCII data. The Count
parameter controls the number of pages to print in this case, and the
Width parameter is ignored.
